Capcom expects to announce balance changes to Street Fighter 4 around the time of EVO 2013 - Ono wants online edition of CvS2 on XBL

Capcom expects to announce the balance changes for the next version of Street Fighter 4 around the time of this year's EVO, which is taking place from July 12-14, 2013.

Ono doesn't say specifically that they'll be announcing the changes at EVO, just around that time.

Yoshinori had a few other interesting Tweets, which weren't in Japanese, that have been included below, most notably that he'd like to see an online edition of Capcom vs. SNK 2.

Yoshinori Ono tweets about going to E3 this year, tweeting a lot about Street Fighter lately

Our favourite old trickster, Mr. Yoshinori Ono, has been tweeting about appearing at E3 this year. Mostly known for being the man behind the Street Fighter 4 series and Street Fighter X Tekken, Ono has also been reported to be helping out with Capcom titles Remember Me and the still very mysterious title "Deep Down", shown during Sony's PS4 announcement back in February.

While it is likely that his tweets may have something to do with "Deep Down", this may also be perfect timing for Capcom to flesh out details regarding the the Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition update that is currently being worked on. You'll find his somewhat uninformative tweets below.

of course!! ;D RT @thechopper1209 hey Yoshi will you be at E3 this year?

hehehe~~ RT @bosjbug getting ready for E3?

While these tweets may mean nothing, it's worth noting that Ono has recently been posting a lot of tweets related to Street Fighter, which might point to something good for fighting game fans at E3 — only time will tell.

Sven: I think we'll see less 'straight ports' in the digital space in the future - update on PSN CvS2 and more

Capcom will likely be shying away from doing what they termed as 'straight ports' of fighting games in the future, Christian Svensson said on the official Capcom forums. He noted that feedback from their December digital survey, plus a recent trend in sales, has shown them that fans don't want just 'straight ports' of their titles, like how Darkstalkers Resurrection and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, among others, turned out.

Subjects covered also include updates of digital versions of their fighters on PSN, including Capcom vs. SNK 2, PC sales numbers and if Tatsunoko vs. Capcom will see an e-Shop release. Hit the jump to read everything.

Capcom's Remember Me will feature Street Fighter moves as pre-order bonus

The pre-order bonuses for Capcom's upcoming Science Fiction title, Remember Me, have been divulged over on Steam. Players who order the game in advance will receive a set of combo attacks that share the names of special moves from the Street Fighter franchise.

As seen in the image below, the 3 combo attacks that will be awarded to those who pre-order are the Flash Kick, Spinning Bird Kick and Dragon Punch.

Seeing Street Fighter attacks incorporated into Remember Me's fighting arsenal is no surprise as it was reported last year that Capcom's own Yoshinori Ono had a hand in designing the combat system. Remember Me will be available for purchase on June 3, 2013.

Capcom adjust sales forecasts after cancelling games and decides to revise their overseas strategy

Capcom revised their financial forecasts after a loss of around $73 million, due to game cancellations, something Capcom is partly blaming on projects that have been outsourced overseas. Outsourcing projects overseas has been a standard practice for Capcom as of late.

After feeling that this strategy isn't working out for them, Capcom has decided to revert to their old fashion of having more internal game development, believing that their losses stem from a loss of quality due to "excessive" outsourcing of projects, which led to these games being cancelled.
