Street Fighter HD confirmed for Nov. 25 on PSN, Nov. 26 on XBLA

[.KICK]

Confirming yesterday's rumor that Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix will be making its long-awaited debut on Xbox Live Arcade next Wednesday, November 26th, Capcom has also officially dated the PS3 version ? for a day earlier, on Tuesday, November 25th. The PS3 version of the game will also come with a exclusive, free bonus: hip-hop tracks inspired by Street Fighter from DJ Qbert, Redman, Hieroglyphics, and others as a digital album download.

PSN releases have historically been "locked" to Thursdays ? much as XBL releases hit on Wednesdays ? so is this a sign of change? Not likely, as Thanksgiving falls on Thursday, November 27, making this an exception to the "rule." (Konami is releasing the Metal Gear Online MEME expansion next Tuesday as well.) Multiplatformers: which version of SSFIITHDR will you be getting?

We should do a NEOWIN Tier style Competition for both XBLive and PS3 after we get used to the way it controls.

Lol, used to way it controlls? It's pretty much just a facelift of a 16 year old game. quarter-circle forward, back for 2 seconds, forward, down for 2 seconds, up. Lol. Let's get a tournament going right away!

I don't know, I played the demo of this, and I didn't find anything special except for the redrawn, high-res graphics.

[mattmatik]

Perfect timing for the Thanksgiving holiday. My cousin and I played the SNES game for hours and hours during Thanksgiving and Christmas way back when. Should be a nice trip down memory lane.

I'm down for a Neowin tournament as well <places quarter on screen>

The only thing I wish now, is that the 360's d-pad is better. I find it hard to pull off quarter circle motions on the d-pad... And I have been playing fighters since SF2!

[jerzdawg]

so now I have to buy another version of SFII... damn... better check out the demo first.. I made the mistake of buy the last one and hated the hyper fighting..

Yup same, I have no idea why they made the changes they did :no:

totally agree on the d-pad, but isn't it possible to use the joystick instead?

[Master Ryu]

Yah, I think you can get the Dead or Alive joystick. I'm sure there are other joysticks out there, depending on how hardcore you are. I'm getting the PS3 version, although I know there will probably be more competition on the XBOX360 side. Oh well, I don't use the joystick, and the PS3 pad (although not as good as PS2) is light years better for fighters than the 360.

[afusion]

Man I want those tracks PS3 users are getting. But I'm totally getting this game.

[D!ABOL!C]

In case anyone hasn't seen, the price is going to be $14.99

That better translate to <= ?9.99 or FAIL, no purchase.

I'd like ?7.99.

You know it will be ?9.:p :p It'll be 1200 on XBLA I reckon.

[Kushan]

It'll definitely be 1200 points at least, possibly even 1600 but if it IS 1600, I wont be buying it.

I was in the beta for this and I loved it, it looks fantastic and it plays really well, 1200 points is an insta-buy for me!

[plainwhitets]

$15 sounds pretty pricey until you consider they had to go through and re-handdraw everything in HD, put new music, rebalance things...etc.

$15 is a good price. Obviously, I would like it to be cheaper, but I don't mind paying $15 for clearly a good piece of work.

[nomis_nehc]

It's confirmed to be 1200 MS points.

And yeah, I would assume you can use the analog stick, but I just feel I am not as quick on that as d-pad.

[Michael1406]

I woke up this morning all sad, then I read articles about how the UK won't get it this week. Why can't we be separate to the rest of Europe.... :(

[NoLiMiT06]

Do they have a demo for the 360 up?

[Minifig]

Do they have a demo for the 360 up?

Surprisingly no.. :blink:

--Also--:

Super Street Fighter II HD Delayed In The UK - Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix will be out this week on Xbox Live Arcade. And in the US, it'll also be out on the PlayStation Network. But the UK? No dice. A Capcom rep has told Edge that, when it comes to the PS3, the game "will not be released in the UK this week and has no official release date". No official release date?

:wacko: .

Not good for our British friends who own a PS3..
