Street Fighter IV to be playable at Japanese Amusement Expo Feb. 15
Valentine's Day is swiftly approaching, like a bullet train made out of chalky hearts and overpriced chocolate. How are you planning on spending yours? Gents, perhaps you're taking your special lady out for a candlelit dinner and a romantic comedy, perhaps starring Matthew McConaughey, or Jennifer Lopez, or both. Ladies, maybe you have a special evening at home planned for your man, involving a sizable steak and a selection of the most sensual massage oils.Well, screw that noise. You should be traveling to Japan on St. Hallmark's Day, where the cool kids will be attending the AOU 2008 Amusement Expo in an attempt to get a look at (and possibly play a few rounds of) Street Fighter IV before the rest of the world. Doors will open for industry people on the 15th of February, and for the rest of the Hadouken-hungry crowd on the 16th. Sure, you might be spending your Valentine's Day alone in a Japanese hotel, but you'll have the satisfaction of knowing you were the first kid on your block to play one of the biggest titles of 2008.
After all, who needs love when you have Zangief?

Griffin, you sadist! Why did you have to link that terrible, terrible video? I am never going to be able to get that image out of my mind.

Instead of playing Brawl on Valentine's Day everyone will be drunk playing Brawl on St. Patty's Day (my birthday)

This game is going to suck so bad. It's depressing. :(
2-D sprites come back PLEASE!!!!!!!

Same here. Since playing SFA3 on my PSP is near impossible (thanks ghosting) looks like SF3 on the GBA is going to last another few years.
2D.

"Hadouken!"
Oh god, my wall! Run kids, run!

To wait in the car,
People forget that it's not Valentines Day, it's St. Valentines Day.
You can't forget a man's sainthood, it's just rude.
