cheapassgamer.com members are reporting Toys R'us will give away a free exclusive Chun Li figure if you pre-order Street Fighter IV for either PS3 or Xbox 360. Other pre-order offers are the Street Fighter head band from GameStop and a coin from Game Crazy.
The Street Fighter series has a long history, but which are the seven best games the franchise has yet offered to gamers?
After Street Fighter II released in in 1991, it caused a fighting game explosion, both in arcades and in home consoles. But, as the decade ended, and arcades were failing, so too were 2D Fighting games. This is how Street Fighter IV completely revitalized the genre.
I'd say Blazblue helped too. Didn't care for Street Fighter 4, but Blazblue was amazing during that time. Sad that the series kind of went downhill after the first 2 or 3 games though.
BlazBlue was phenomenal. Platinum'd Calamity Trigger because I loved it so much. I remember buying Continuum Shift back in the day at launch for like $40. They did have DLC characters (Valkenhayne, Makoto, and Platinum at the time) and it came out to just a tad more than it would at full price. Didn't mind at all.
Great fighting game.
Continuum Shift was definitely my favorite. Spent way too many hours on that game, haha... Had the counters for days with Hakumen.
BlazBlue was the much better, more technical game..and a real 2D Fighting Game after all. But yes, since it was a big name..the characters were still popular and the game itself was good, SFIV indeed helped a lot. However, I am pretty sure the much better-selling Mortal Kombat 9 would have been done without SFIV as well..and that one truly helped to make the fighting game genre in general more popular again.
You’re sound dumb. Blazblue was not better than sf4. You’re just saying that because you’re a street fighter hater.
eyyy max xD
one of the very few streamers i can actually watch without it being cringe and awful ha.
The content of IV was severely lacking when it launched. It got better over time.
In the same interview at EGX 2019 recently, Capcom and Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono responded to a fan question asking if there were any plans to bring the fourth or fifth entries in the series to the Nintendo Switch.
they botched SFV so bad, just start over, make a new version with proper single player mode and fully fleshed out with support for all of the consoles this time.
Gamer7804@ they already did kinda it call sf5ae it help sf5 sell like another 2 million copies.
SFV is actually great now. Bunch of modes, bunch of characters, alot of stages, not sure what else there is to even complain about. Costume MTX? Not a issue imo, I don't get what I don't want anyways
botched launch, and they launched only on one console and currently after a long time still on one console.
Did you see how Ultra and the Collection sold? We don't need to convince Nintendo of anything. Just put it on the console.PHYSICALLY.
Enigma_2099@ they probably have to make a new sf game just for the switch they probably will need Nintendo to help fund it just like sony help fund sf5.
You’re not seeing Street Fighter V come to other platforms besides PC because Sony helped co-fund the game so it’s staying only on PS4 & PC
Don't know why anybody would want SF5 on Switch. Especially if they owned a Switch.
That doesn't makes sense. Is Nintendo saying that Capcom can't publish the game on the system because it's users don't want the game? if so, that's really stupid of them, because why should they care?
Nintendo isn't saying such things of course.
Capcom shouldn't pass the buck. If they don't want to make more SF games on the Switch, then just say so, and say why.
If they want Nintendo to fund the project, then they are the ones that need to convince Nintendo to give them money.
if the figure is just right, ill get it at toys r us. otherwise im sticking with amazon
Im a TRU RZone DS...the fig will only cost me .01 :) (I'll wait a month or two to buy the game, Killzone2 is taking up my funds this month)
I already have the 4-inch Chun Li Figure in my hands.
Now all i need is the other figurine.
...Just seen my first footage of Street Fighter IV and although the art direction and the graphics look good I'm left wondering why there has not been a bigger leap since Street Fighter III.
A title like Killzone 2 gets hammered for not pushing the genre or offering anything substantially new in the FPS space. The same could be said for Street Fighter IV for the fighting genre. The only substantial different Street Fighter IV seems to have over previous Street Fighter titles is an HD coat of paint.
Where is the hit model, that is, take out a knee cap or rib and have the fighting style change. Where is the clothing and scenery damage model. Break the floor with a pile drive and you have to watch you don't stumble on a broken floor panel, etc. Why is the back ground still just scenery and not something you could use to your advantage in a fight. For instance, kick the $hit out of your opponent and land him/her on one of the generators (?) kicking out all that steam/heat and cause extra burn injurty as result.
The concept of having rounds that start from scratch is also so last gen. A new round should be treated like there was a break to take a 5 minute breather or something. Not reset the entire environment and be injury free again.
The whole fighting genre needs some much needed life injected into it and not just a new coat of paint. Street Fighter IV currently has a retail price of $129 in New Zealand. To be it looks like a game that should be offered on PSN for $20-30 NZD.
