Ultra Street Fighter IV Hadoukens Onto Retail
I know that headline doesn't really make sense, but you have to create some kind of pun about when writing a news story, and that was the one I came up with. If you don't already own one of the 1,000 releases of Capcom's premiere fighting game then now is your chance.
Ultra Street Fighter IV introduced six new stages, and five new characters: Rolento, Elena, Hugo, Poison, and Decapre. The game launched digitally on June 3 (read our review), but has finally migrated to the retail space, so if you're the kind of gamer who likes to stare at the games they own on their shelf, then today is your lucky day!
Our Take
This isn't a big deal, but it is interesting to think about the fact that some games now release digitally before they come to retail; something that wouldn't have happened years ago.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
