Home Version of Street Fighter IV Officially released in Japan!!!


It has been a long while but the world warriors are finally back to home consoles! After more than a year of watching grainy youtube videos, reading every famitsu scan talking about new characters and following the game from its early stages and concepts, Street Fighter IV s finally released!

The game is getting all kinds of positive reviews, varying from very good to excellent and even Perfect. The Home version, as you must know by now, has new characters that were not present in the Arcade version, such as Cammy, Fei long and others.

While the game will be officialy released in North America next Tuesday, a lot of peole have gotten early copies from importers. There are already videos of anime prologues and endings on youtube for almost every character. But i will not post those as to not spoil it for the majority who still don't have access to the game.

For the fellow blog readers who live in Japan, i say congratulations! you ahev waited a long time for thi so enjoy your play, and for the majority who are waiting on the Feb 17th release i say to you hang in there, you are at the end of the waiting tunnel, just couple more days.

and i say to all of us: HADOKEN!

For those who bought an xbox for SF4, I hope you'll buy the arcade stick too, because playing this game with the xbox controller will be a real challenge xD

jep. it isnt a secret that the d-pad of the xbox controller is completely useless! i preordered the game + mc fightpad, have to try a strick first (im german and therefore not arcardeproven) to spend so many bucks on it
