Get Ready for February 17, 2009...

Capcom finally announced the release date for Street Fighter IV, which is February 17, 2009. As u already know, I'm still playing the arcade version since its release (so many spots in SoCal have the game which is crazy). My review has been modified a bit recently and will be significantly updated for the console versions (I won't type a new review for it). Of course, I'm hyped which is three months away and shows why Capcom is king of the first quarter of the year (Bionic Commando in January, this in February, and Resident Evil 5 in March) avoiding the fall holiday rush. At least the 1up guys have a preview build hopefully with some console exclusive characters to play with. Also check out this week's 1up Show (up now) for a SSFIIT HD Remix preview as they have the final game now (likely on Partner.NET). I doubt HD Remix will come out next week because of the NXE launch, but a Thanksgiving week release (even though Banjo XBLA is out that week for those who didn't pre-ordered Nuts & Bolts) seems likely now.
