Where to play Street Fighter IV next month

by Randy Nelson { Jun 30th 2008 at 11:30PM }

Capcom's Seth Killian has posted a friendly note for fighting fans on the official Capcom blog, reminding us that Street Fighter IV begins hitting Japanese arcades the week of July 21. Not all that helpful for those of stuck in the States. Thankfully, "S-KILL" also has the lowdown on where and when the general public can experience the game for themselves on this side of the Pacific.

The final coin-op version of SFIV will be playable July 24-27 at San Diego Comic-Con and at the Evolution 2008 fighting game competition finals in Las Vegas from August 8-10. As an added bonus for EVO 2008 attendees, Capcom will have the latest build of Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix on hand as well.

Personally this game just looks to boring. I rather they re-release Street Fighter 3rd Strike with online play.

Jimiisama @ Aug 27th 2008 2:07AM

I know this is a late reply, but Third Strike for Xbox has online play.

Oh, how I wish there were still actually arcades around these days. I guess I might have to swallow my pride and go to Dave & Busters.

...damn kids and their online play...

I actually entered in the Arcade in the mall yesterday.

They have Super Monkey Ball, with the banana shaped joystiq, Mortal Kombat 4, Ghost Squad, a vampires shooter (don't remember the name), a Harley Davidson racer with motorcycle controllers, and a Kenworth trucks racer...

Arcades are pretty scary this days...

samfish @ Jul 1st 2008 12:05AM

I wish my mall still had an arcade. The one it had was OK, in that it had Mario Kart Arcade (but there was ALWAYS someone playing it, sadly) and a few classic games...

...but yeah, arcades are tragically well past their glory days.

At least I'll always have the memories! Nothing will ever top TMNT Arcade, in my mind.

Fernando Rocker @ Jul 1st 2008 12:14AM

By the way Samfish...

Did you read that Megaman 9 is WiiWare only? I read it over gonintendo a few minutes ago.

Mr.ESC @ Jul 1st 2008 1:20AM

Oh may I join you to your trip to memory lane? (I’m going to assume yes and proceed regardless of your answer)

There was this arcade where they had this special edition of the Xmen arcade game, well I’m not sure if it was a special edition since normally the Xmen arcade game was for 4 players like the Simpson’s, it was for 6 players. It was teh sh*t.

There are still some mayor arcades here and they are quite friendly but the nearest place is always full. They have Jurassic park with the cabinet and decoration, 3 Metal slug games, some “House of the dead” games and other Sega,classic and shooter games including the one with the Sniper rifle replica. They have more games but those are the ones I remember right now.

meh, the one that is right around the corner doesn't really have much, but there is one about 15 mins from my house that has more variety, but all I really care for is Tekken 5, SFII, Time Crisis 4, and Percussion Master (for some reason I find it more entertaining than Taiko Master)

DangerMouse @ Jun 30th 2008 11:46PM

I wonder how far apart these releases will be. With the media being show so far, it looks like SF4 is further along, but i always expected for SSFT2HD to come out way before.

MexicanRobot @ Jun 30th 2008 11:46PM

I'm going to the SanDiego Comic-Con so I can't wait to play this.

ApolloIV @ Jun 30th 2008 11:49PM

Does that mean that this game is at least around the corner sometime?

Ranko @ Jun 30th 2008 11:52PM

Now-gen butt-chin.

P. Reardon @ Jul 1st 2008 12:08AM

A place I bowl at, "Tokyo Game Action" out in Winchendon, MA, is supposed to get the Japanese machine sometime in August. I'm not a fighting game fan, but just a heads up to those who might be in the area.

Alex @ Jul 1st 2008 12:09AM

oh come on Capcom, you know Arcades aren't popular in the states, please release SF4 for Wii soon!

Jhongerkong @ Jul 1st 2008 12:28AM

Man how I yearn for the good ol days of the arcade. I still remember the days when everyone spent their time after school and at lunch to master SFII, or when people would regularly hold freestyling contests in DDR, or when a person was really good at a game and everyone would crowd around like it was a sporting event.

*epic sigh*

Those were the days...

kataztrophy @ Jul 1st 2008 12:59AM

I love the way this game looks, but I am sick and tired of the SF2 styled game play. I would have loved to see the Alpha system used.

JMD @ Jul 1st 2008 1:24AM

AWESOME! That happens to coincide with my trip to Japan (July 14-28) :D

Prashant @ Jul 1st 2008 3:23AM

Hi everyone,

It's not intrusion but an humble request to the community here.

I have recently started an articles website and would request you (I will appreciate if you can) to please spare some time and post articles at my site.

Thanks

er... head pain... sweet! If i'm reading that right then I can play it on the 10th an 8 minute train rie from my house.
