Super Street Fighter IV to feature car smashing bonus level
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.

Super Street Fighter IV announced
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.

SNK delays King of Fighters XII
It seems that the highly anticipated King of Fighters XII has been delayed by SNK. Originaly dated for a July 16th release, the official release date has been changed to just a “July release”.
This could mean July 17th or it could mean July 30th, we don’t really know. However, we do know that SNK decided to delay the game so they can make some last minute improvements to the title.
Does SNK have what it takes to beat Capcom’s Street Fighter IV with The King of Fighters XII? Let’s wait and see.

Resident Evil 5 Confirmed for PC, to Have Exclusive (Stupid) Feature; SF4 and Bionic Commando Due Out This July
As one can expect from Capcom these days, the PC versions of Resident Evil 5, Street Fighter 4 and Bionic Commando are all on their way, with the latter two due out this July. All three will be sold both via retail and online digital distribution.
Also, all games have been optimized for PC and will have new features. Here’s the big deal:
Street Fighter IV
The PC version of Street Fighter IV will feature online play, higher screen resolutions and three new shaders based on three of the "artistic" trailers released in 2008 that will change the visual appearance of the game: "watercolor," "posterization" and "sumi-e ink" styles.
Bionic Commando
The PC version of Bionic Commando will support higher resolutions than the console version, remappable controls including mouse and keyboard support, support for both DirectX 9 and DirectX 10 and online connectivity for multiplayer sessions.
Resident Evil 5
The PC version of Resident Evil 5 will feature online play for co-operative play sessions over the internet and will also take advantage of NVIDIA’s new GeForce 3D Vision technology (wireless 3D Vision glasses sold separately).
Sounds boring, but sign me up for some Resident Evil action on my trusty ol’ computer.
Street Fighter IV on PC Gets Games for Windows Live, Better Graphics
Capcom is once again in the news today, revealing more about the upcoming PC version of Street Fighter IV, including the fact that it will feature Games for Windows Live.
GFW will bring online play, in-game messaging and friend lists, voice chat and achievements to the PC version. However, it won’t let PC players fight against Xbox 360 gamers.
PC gamers will also get higher resolutions and several artistic visual effects including sumi-e ink and watercolor shaders.
The game is set for release on PC this summer.
Street Fighter IV Power Up Pack goes live
If you didn’t know, Capcom has recently released the Power Up Pack that we first learned about earlier this month, for the PS3 and Xbox 360.
There are 2 prominent updates featured in the free pack; Championship Mode and Replay Mode. The Championship Mode is just that, you’ll be automatically seeded based on your skill level and then get the chance to participate in a single elimination tournament against players from around the world.
The Replay Mode on the other hand allows users to record and download other players matches so you’ll be able to relive that clutch Super Combo over and over.
Again, the Power Up Pack has been available for a few days and is free for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
More MadCatz FightSticks on the way
Despite a small number of displeased buyers, MadCatz’ Street Fighter IV branded FightSticks have managed to fly off the shelves. In fact, these controllers sold so fast a number of orders were left unfilled.
Well, Capcom has issued a statement saying the problem is being addressed and MadCatz will increase production to meet demand. In fact, Capcom expects existing orders to be filled when more of these controllers ship by the end of next month.
Let’s hope this means that these new units will be completely free of any problems. Although, the problem apparently wasn’t as big as everyone made it out to be.

For those of you that are really into the look of video game characters, your sure to be drooling over the latest addition to the Street Fighter 4 DLC arsenal.
Included in the Femme Fatale Pack, which was released some time ago, are all new costumes for the women of Street Fighter IV.
As you can see above, it’s safe to say that these costumes removed some clothing instead of added it.

Gamers have been kicking and having an all around good time with the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Street Fighter IV, while a select few have been sitting around grumpily waiting for the PC version of the game. They now have a timeframe to wait to: this summer.
"Let’s say summer," stated Capcom business development VP Christian Svensson when asked about the PC release. He noted that the recent arcade sticks and pads produced by Mad Catz are compatible on PC; Capcom is also discussing a PC specific gamepad bundle.
Svensson seemed very happy with the console versions of the game, which he noted are “exceeding forecasts” and “on track to do some pretty amazing things.”
Street Fighter IV Ships 2M
The highly anticipated return of the classic fighting franchise has made quite a hit at retailers worldwide, as Capcom today announced that it has shipped over two million copies of Street Fighter IV. The game hit North America and Europe last week, while the Japanese got it two weeks back.

It is now available on PS3 and Xbox 360; a PC version is due out eventually, but no release date has been mentioned yet.
