Capcom has just announced that a "branded experience" for Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix will launch tomorrow on the New Xbox Experience and, in doing so, may have given away the release date of the much-awaited game. An official screenshot of the themed Marketplace section prominently lists Wednesday, Nov. 26 as the day the game will launch.
It's already known that the game has been submitted to both Microsoft and Sony for final approval. The SSFIITHDR section of the XBLM will contain downloads related to the game, including the recent SSFIIT theme for Pinball FX and both free and premium NXE themes, the latter featuring "extensive high-definition graphical layers that take over your Dashboard."
Capcom recently launced a branded storefront on PSN's PlayStation Store, which is where – should its release fall in step with the 360's – the PS3 version of SSFIITHDR could go live on Nov. 27. We've contacted Capcom for comment.

You should keep your doctor in the loop too, bladder control is not a joke.

So...I guess we can expect a 27th release from Sony then.
Cause there's no way in hell it's coming out first right!??

Also on that page, it says that a Street Fighter Uno deck is coming out December 20th. Just scroll to the last page and it's there. Sweet new Uno Goodness!

I love how it calls Street Fighter "the original MMA experience."
I didn't know "stretch your arms real far" and "generate electricity and spin in a ball" were martial arts.
Though, I guess they are all probably a subcategory of Bullshido.

+1 for the bullshito remark. I fucking love that site and, as a martial artist, I find it funner seeing how many "ninja" schools and the etc are out there.

Sumo needs more representation in the Octagon.

I agree.
Unless Anderson Silva, GSP, Fedor, and Forrest Griffin are the bosses now, they shouldn't be putting "MMA" into the description. =p

There wont be a release on Nov 27, there is a holiday called thanksgiving that day, so it will probably be out either the 25th or the 26th

Sam @ Nov 18th 2008 11:34PM

Who cares about the 360 verison with it's crapola controler. What about the PS3 version??? I am looking forward to Asian-SF-player-ass-kicking deliveries from moi! Except the Japanese... I'm gonna get it handed to me from them.
CLOUD9 @ Nov 18th 2008 8:31PM
All I need now is a Hori Arcade Stick for my 360. Damn you Capcom for making me spend more money. lol. I still love you Capcom.

This is finally gonna happen! As excited as I am, I am still a bit disappointed that this is a year late.
