"Capcom's Street Fighter IV blog updated with news that the consumer console version of SFIV will be showing at the Leipzig Games Convention. This will be the first time that it has been shown publicly. The game's producer, Yoshinori Ono, will be on hand at the GC as well. Wonder if we'll see an exact release date and none of this guessing business. Hopefully either McWhertor or Fahey (or hey, maybe both) will get hands on with the title and let us know how it stacks up to the arcade version."

"As of today, if you're playing Street Fighter IV in Japan in the single player mode, you may get to face off against a blast from the past: Akuma.

Leave it to Capcom to introduce a new character a month after the cabinets has been out in game centers. First introduced in Street Fighter II Turbo as a secret character as well, Akuma -- or Gouki, as he's known in Japan -- joins the lineup as a boss.

In order to get a chance at battling against the secret character, you need to be doing wel..."

"A post on the Capcom blog states: "The latest idea to sneak past was to have some Street Fighter fans' faces - yes, your actual faces - appear as background characters in Street Fighter IV."

Make a convincing enough case, and it could be you hanging out with background legends like Chinese man riding a bicycle and drunk Russian at a steel mill! Just know that Skullomania has a family to feed, and he needs these background cameos to make ends meet, you selfish jerk."

"Late last month, we reported that Capcom were planning a Wii title similar to Lost Planet and Bionic Commando which would be announced over the coming weeks. Shortly after our story, Capcom announced the madcap Saturday morning TV style title Spyborgs, leading us to believe that Spyborgs was indeed the mysterious "or something like that" title. How wrong we were.

Issue #25 of NGamer Magazine features a very small preview of Spyborgs, with an enigmatic quote nestled within. "There's a bulle..."

"Honestly, I think the lack of AAA titles also has a lot to do with a lot of the 3rd parties simply being caught with their pants down. Triple A take a lot of time to develop; Many years in fact. For them to have been announced/released by now, it would have meant that they were in development/planning before/shortly after the Wii was released. However, nobody, besides Nintendo, expected the Wii sales to be so strong, and anyone who did should be buying lottery tickets.

However, the good ne..."

"He's blue! And freaky! And not in a kooky-yet-heroic way like Doc Manhattan. In a creepy, evil way like Seth, Street Fighter IV's #1 bad guy. I still think his gut's a bit...silly, but then I usually think that about ridiculous boss characters in fighting games, and it doesn't stop them from kicking my crap through my teeth."

""It's not that a Wii version would be impossible," [said producer Yoshinori Ono]. "And we're not ruling anything out, but looking at the main target we're trying to hit with this game, users are more likely, from where we're sitting, to own a PS3 or 360 than a Wii. Are there fighting game fans who own the Wii, especially in north America? If there are, we're more than willing to do something for them. But it seems like a safer bet to go with the PS3 and 360, and the PC is more a European-cent..."

You heard it right, Street Fighter IV will be getting exclusive content for the console versions. Available for the PC, XBOX360 and PS3, the console version will come with animated cut-scenes for each and every playable character. Cinematic endings will also be available to those with the console version, however those that decide to opt for the arcade version will be unfortunate enough to miss out on these.

And more over, Capcom have also confirmed their plans to shop an 'Arcade Perfect'...

"The Street Fighter series has never been terribly exclusive, appearing as it has on the TurboGrafx-16, Super Nintendo, Game Boy, Dreamcast, Xbox, and most systems in between. So it comes as no surprise that Capcom's upcoming arcade game Street Fighter IV would eventually find its way to other homes.

The publisher announced today that it will bring Street Fighter IV to the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. Unfortunately, it did not give any indication as to when the game would arrive on tho..."

"It is well-known that PC development is very similar to that of Microsoft's Xbox 360, this coupled with console peripherals utilizing USB technology for input could lend some weight to the rumor.

Unfortunately, Jeuxvideo did not provide a link to the supposed site that broke the news and our various scans of Capcom's press sites have come up empty handed. For now, we're rubber-stamping a big rumor badge on this one until we hear more information from Capcom."

"Washington (dbTechno) - According to a Japanese gaming magazine, Street Fighter IV may be making the move from the PS3 and Xbox 360, to the Nintendo Wii. The rumor is that the highly-anticipated fighter is in development for the Nintendo Wii as well as the other major consoles.

This has yet to be confirmed as the magazine gives little information on the source of their news.

This builds on past rumors though that Capcom was working on Street Fighter IV for the Wii.

Capcom producer Yo..."

"Now, this in no way is meant to be taken as an indictment of the quality of Street Fighter IV as a whole -- the game could very well be great despite certain depictions of grotesque fiddler crab pincers. And sure, in the heat of battle, it's unlikely anyone will be focusing on what any character's thumbs look like. That said, I would offer this counterpoint: Look at that goddamn thumb. Seriously. It's as if an ichneumon wasp injected a large sack of eggs into her palm."

"Japanese Arcade machine dealer, Tops-Game.jp, has up for sale the new Street Fighter IV arcade machine. What has caught my eye pretty quickly was the price of the machine and a little blurb at the end of the description stating, “Also gearing with the Mobile contents became possible.”"

"Kristin Kreuk, Michael Clarke Duncan, Chris Klein and Rick Yune will star in Hyde Park Entertainment and Capcom's "Street Fighter," based on the popular Japanese vidgame franchise. Twentieth Century Fox will distribute the actioner, set to begin lensing in March.
Kreuk, who plays Lana Lang in the CW's "Smallville," will star as martial artist Chun-Li. Duncan will play Balrog, while Klein is stepping into the role of Nash. Yune is taking on the mystical Gen."
