Fighting Game News - December 8, 2009
Have a lot of fighting game news to share, so let’s get down to it.
As if you didn’t already have enough arcade sticks filling your living room, you could be due to get another one. Pictured above is the one that may accompany the launch of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom on the Nintendo Wii, possibly as part of a bundle not unlike the Tekken 6 bundle we got on the PS3 and Xbox 360.

Sticking with the Wii, you can get some Capcom fighting action in the meantime with the SNES version of Street Fighter Alpha 2. It’s being released on the Virtual Console this week and it’ll cost you 800 Nintendo Points to purchase. [1Up]
Get ready for Super Street Fighter IV early next year. We already know about T-Hawk and Deejay coming back, but now we’ve learned that they’ll be joined by Street Fighter III (and Final Fight) crew too. It has been confirmed that SSFIV will feature Adon, Cody, and Guy. They could very realistically be joined by Ibuki as well. [Kotaku and Shoryuken]
Speaking of Super Street Fighter IV, you can expect some new game modes too. They’ll have team battles (round robin elimination), endless modes. online lobbies (up to eight players), and the return of bonus stage. That’s right. Get ready to bust barrels and smash cars again. Sweet. [Joystiq]
Not satisfied with Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe? Well, some art has been released showing what the next Mortal Kombat could have looked like if Midway didn’t kick the bucket. Looks fantastic, but MK has never been the same since they decided to go 3D. [Kotaku
Do you miss Killer Instinct? It's been a long time since we've seen a new entry in that franchise, but it seems that a new version is in the works. They are reportedly mashing out Killer Instinct 3 and it could be waiting for a launch with the motion-sensing Natal from Microsoft. We still don't know for sure whether Natal will be an add-on for the Xbox 360 or if it will be a separate console altogether. [VGD]
