Soon after that the impressions of the game should be hitting the interwebs.
Here is a hot ass video put together by “Goryus” and posted on SRK. The 1UP gameplay video moves so fast and its eye opening to see it slowed down so you can check the nuances of whats really going on. Good shit! Heres a link to a BUNCH of NEW screenshots from the game.
Lots of updates have been coming in about Street Fighter IV. The first is that it is a confirmed Japan arcade release. Here is a video with strictly game play.

Things are looking up. The gameplay is strictly 2D so it wont be a Soul Calibur style 3D game which was my biggest fear. It appears that there will be 3D effects with a 2D playing field. The art style looks beautiful. I have always been more of a fan of the Third Strike visual style than the Alpha series. Dont get me wronf though I love the Alpha series. I just think the Capcom vs. SNK and Third s...[Read More]

Heres the first video of Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. According the Capcom blog post that I jacked the video from it was recorded with a camera phone so the video quality is suspect.

I cant wait to play this no doubt about that...[Read More]
