The Nintendo 3DS‘ March 22nd North American launch is just over the corner with gamers everywhere highly anticipating the glasses-free 3D display touting handheld. While previous console launches have skimped on launch titles, Nintendo is pulling out all the stops with the 3DS. One of the biggest launch titles for the 3DS is none other than Capcom’s Street Fighter IV 3D. If you couldn’t tell by the title, this game is a port of the SF4 we’ve all come to know and love with built-in 3D functionality.
While we don’t ahve any new information to tell you about the game tha twe havne’t already told you, Nintendo has released a commercial for the game today which you can check out above. This commercial does a nice job showing off classic Street Fighter gameplay while putting an emphasis on the 3D capabilities of the 3DS.
Check it out and tell us what you think about SF43D and the Nintendo 3DS.
There are many different fighting games on the market with titles like Street Fighter IV and Tekken 6 ruling the airwaves. However, if you’re looking for something a whol elot crazier than either of these two titles and a lot more Japanese than Marvel vs. Capcom you should definitely check out BlazBlue. Made by the guys behind the Guilty Gear franchise, BlazBlue has already seen several different releases and is ready to make the jump to the portable market.
In fact, it was just made known today that BlazBlue Continuum Shift 2 is coming to both the Ninendo 3DS and PSP. Unfortunately, there was no mention of a North American release instead with the press release suggesting it is currently only confirmed for Europe.
Amazon has been known to throw us some pretty heft deals with bountiful savings. Today is no different as the online mega-retailer has posted a whole slew of deals that focus mainly on video game accessories.
When Super Street Fighter IV first got announced way back when I was a bit skeptical about the title — A new Street Fighter IV with characters that seemingly should have been nothing more than DLC? No thanks. However, after actually getting my hands on the game and seeing the immense amount of updates and tweaks Capcom had included along with the new characters, my views changed drastically.
And apparantly, I’m not the only one who thinks like this as Capcom has just announced that they have already shipped 1 Million Super Street Fighter IV units to retail. To put that into perspective, according to Capcom, the Street Fighter franchise has sold 28 million console units worldwide as of March 31st and this isn’t even including the SSFIV numbers I detailed above.
In leui of the forthcoming Super Street Fighter IV launch, Capcom will be discounting the iPhone version of Street Fighter IV from $9.99 to $6.99. Normally, I’d brush this off as just another overpriced iPhone app but the iPhone version of Street Fighter IV stays so true to its console counterpart its ridiculous.
I’ve already bought it at the $9.99 price point, unfortunately, but will you be picking it up at its new lower price?
If you’ve been looking to pick up a Street Fighter IV FightStick but haven’t been able to justify the high price tag, you’re in luck. Buy.com has just announced that they will be discounting the PS3 version of the controller to $29.99. Additionally, if you’re looking to go a bit more hardcore, they have the Tournament Edition FightStick up for $119.99, a nice saving.
I don’t know about you guys but I prefer a controller over these FightSticks any day. Maybe I need to actually use them some more. What do you think?
Edit: It seems the FightSticks are out of stock, bummer. Let’s hope they hold this promotion again once it’s back in stock.
It seems that our friends over at Kotaku have recently received a gift from Capcom. No it wasn’t a game or anything like that. What it was, was a blue boxing glove with holding a rose. What could this mean?
Well, if you’ve played Street Fighter 3, you’ll know that a character named Dudley had blue boxing gloves and was frequently seen holding a rose.
You can make your own conclusions about what this means.
One of the most disappointing things I encountered with Street Fighter IV was the fact that it didn’t feature the beloved car smashing bonus level. Well, with the announcement of Super Street Fighter IV gamers yet again had some car bashing fun to look foward to, if the game was to include it, that is.
Today we have confirmation that the bonus level will infact be included in the new title with the above screen shot showing it off.
Super Street Fighter IV will be out for the Xbox 360 and PS3 on March 23rd, 2010.
If you thought Capcom was going to be nice and give you downloadable characters for Street Fighter IV, you were wrong. Today, the developer has announced Super Street Fighter IV, a tweaked and improved standalone version of SF4 with 8 additional characters.
Of these characters just 3 have been officially confirmed: T. Hawk, Dee Jay and Juri. Fans of the Street Fighter franchise will recognize T. Hawk and Dee Jay from previous titles while Juri is an all new character.
As for a release date, we’re looking at Spring 2010 for both the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, with no mention of a PC release date.
Capcom has today launched an all new Street Fighter IV teaser website that shows off the fact that they will be introducing a “new warrior” to the game on Tuesday, September 29th at 5PM in Japan.
Of course, as of right now we have nothing more than whats featured on the teaser website which is just a small video including the screenshot shown above. We’re going to assume that this “new warrior” is an all new Street Fighter character to be offered through Xbox Live, the PSN and through Capcom’s official website for the PC.
We’ll keep you posted as more information is made known.
