Street Fighter IV Officially Announced

Posted by Zonk on from the ready-fight dept.

Along with the announcement of the new-for-modern-consoles Bionic Commando, Capcom has also officially revealed the existence of Street Fighter IV . Other than the fact that it is in development there aren't a lot of details on the game, with little more than a gameplay-less trailer to view. Gamespot reports: "The trailer depicts longtime rivals Ken and Ryu duking it out once more, this time in a moonlit forest. The two friends and frequent rivals exchange, block, and parry blows for about a minute, busting out such familiar moves as the hurricane kick and dragon punch. With neither fighter gaining the advantage, Ryu charges up a fireball that bathes the screen in white before the Street Fighter IV logo appears with a splash of blood, followed by a warning to 'Prepare yourself.'"

    I really liked the old-school side-only view of Street Fighter.

    It just seemed more playable. And fun.

    I have spoken a few words of Japanese in my life.
    The swear words don't count.

    Or you can just get Super Smash Bros. Brawl this February and play with a character that has so many of the same moves it might as well be named Blankachu.
