Street Fighter IV Consoles Confirmed: Xbox 360, PS3, and PC
Capcom has already provided some indication as to the release date of Street Fighter IV, but that information is largely for the arcade version of the game. When and where will be able to play this highly anticipated fighting game at home? Well, a great tidbit of information has been officially announced.
It has been confirmed that Street Fighter IV will be coming to the Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3, and the Windows PC. The first two were fully expected, given their high processing power and relatively large user bases, but we didn’t expect that Street Fighter IV to make its way to the computer world.
I think it’s for the best that Capcom isn’t bringing this fighting game to the Wii. It just wouldn’t fit, methinks.

Rock, Talim, Yoshimitsu Will Be Back for Soul Calibur IV
And so the Soul Calibur IV roster expands just little, offering us three veteran heroes for our weapon-wielding battle needs. Now that you’re done staring at Cassandra’s breasts (you are done staring, aren’t you?), you can turn your attention to a pair of outlandish characters and one sweet little girl who will have no problem kicking your ass with some serious tonfa action.
Three of the returning characters for Soul Calibur IV, from left to right (above), are Rock, Talim, and everyone’s favorite stand-on-my-head or sit-on-my-ass battler Yoshimitsu. I’ve never been a huge fan of Rock and his giant mace/hammer thing, but I’m totally digging the inclusion of Soulcalibur veteran Talim. She is easily my favorite female character from the series, largely because she’s so quick and she has awesomely easy high-low combo attack. And then there’s Yoshimitsu. He’s just weird.
I wonder who else is going to get included. We already know about Darth Vader and Yoda in Soul Calibur 4. Let’s just hope that they don’t go and toss Jar Jar Binks in there too. Anyways, Famitsu has more pictures of Rock, Talim, and Yoshimitsu, if you’d like to check them out.
King of Fighters XII – PS3, Xbox 360, Arcade
Taken from SNK-Capcom.com:
For those lucky enough to attend AOU 2008 on February 16th, SNK Playmore JP and Taito will be displaying King of Fighters XII (Twelve) in video format. KOF XII has been in production for the longest amount of time, compared to any other King of Fighters produced and rightfully so, as SNK Playmore JP decided to start from scratch with a new game engine and completely overhaul the sprites.
King of Fighters XII will first be displayed on Taito’s Type X² and later ported to Sony’s PS3 in 2009, with a possible release on the Xbox 360 in the same year. Tentatively, expect the Taito Type X² release of KOF XII in June/July of 2008.

All we can say is…be prepared…to be amazed.
