Super Street Fighter 4 Adds Eight New World Warriors

Capcom, going back to their Street Fighter II business plan, announced Super Street Fighter 4 for spring 2010.

The expanded version of Street Fighter 4 includes eight more characters, three of them have been revealed. T. Hawk and Dee Jay from Super Street Fighter II return. Newcomer Juri, a Korean Tae Kwan Do master, is the third character. That leaves five characters left, which may be a mix of newbies and old favorites. Come on Yun!

Just to be clear, Super Street Fighter IV will be a separate retail game and won’t be online compatible with Street Fighter IV. Characters are being tweaked and Gamespot brings up the possibility of some kind of lobby system. As a consolation to fans, Capcom won’t release Super Street Fighter IV as a full price game. However, Capcom hasn’t announced a price. Would be nice if Capcom released it as a Greatest Hits / Platinum Hits game a la Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition.
