Hello everyone!
I reeeeeally want to write about the Tohoku qualifiers! But as today is a special update, I've got something different to talk about!
Today, it also seems that Capcom is announcing a new title for the Xbox 360! To go along with that, I've also got some Super Street Fighter 4 news as well. Big news!
First, the sale date has finally been decided!
On sale April 28 (Tuesday) 2010!
The price is 4,990 yen!
What a steal!
(For Xbox 360 and Playstation 3)
Also, the Super Classic Pack of 3rd alternate costumes for Guile, Blanka, Dhalsim, Gen, and Fei Long will be immediately available for free download! (But, if you don't get it soon, from 7/1 you'll have to buy it.)
But wait, there's more!
As special content exclusive to the Xbox 360, we're including a new anime that focuses on Juri! This anime comes from Director Kizaki of "Afro Samurai" fame, and the well-known Japanese animation studio GONZO! Which means, its incredibly high-quality.
But that's not all, I've got more.
We're also going to be selling a fully-loaded "Collectors Package"!
And what is it fully loaded with?
First off is the "Character Soundtrack Collection". A soundtrack CD featuring the remix themes of all the Super Street Fighter 4 character's music!
There are many fans who are really passionate about the character themes in Street Fighter. As we got all character themes in Super Street Fighter 4, now you've got a great opportunity to listen to them! On the way to work or school, while driving... however you like!
Next is the "All Promotional Video Collection". We're including all the promotional videos and trailers that have been made for Street Fighter 4 as well as Super Street Fighter 4! That's about 30 movies! ... We couldn't get the very last Super Street Fighter 4 PV to be released in there, but aside from that one, everything else!
I think the trailers for Street Fighter 4 and Super Street Fighter 4 are cooler than any other game out there. I may have all this stuff for work, but I'm really happy that I can get it for my personal use, and looking forward to it!
And last is the "Character Art Collection". A wonderful art book including sketch-style illustrations for all Super Street Fighter 4 characters. But that's not all! There's also a mini-story for SSFIV included as well!
As we made this "Character Art Collection" in mind with the idea that you'd look at it while listening to the "Character Soundtrack Collection", the illustrations follow the same order as the songs! So its like of like a lyrics sheet. So just like the soundtrack, the last page will feature liner notes from the composer Mr. Fukuzawa, Sound Designer Mr. Endo, myself and of course Lil' Ono.
But... there is one thing I'm concerned about. It seems that Capcom is planning something else for this deluxe edition as well. I've heard some things... The main details aren't clear yet, but as soon as I know something I'll be sure to tell you through the blog!
And finally! At the National Tournament April 4th, a playable edition of Super Street Fighter 4 will be available in Japan for the first time! Of course, all characters will be usable.
So we've got the National Tournament for the arcade, playable Super Street Fighter 4, and various other events planned as well. It will be held at the BelleSalle in Akihabara! Be sure to clear your calendar for April 4th and come check it out!
... And that's all for the new info on SSFIV today! I can already hear some voices in the back saying "What about info about new characters?!" To that, I can only say please wait a little while longer.
Well then, see you all on Friday!
Here's the Japanese trailer for the new Juri Super Street Fighter 4 anime with an English audio track.
Another trailer for the game also was released, nothing extra special about this, but there is a CG sequence which is nifty.
