Where to Play Street Fighter IV
We’re still not completely certain when Street Fighter IV will become available on the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3, but we’ve found a reason why you may want to visit the arcade again. I know. I know. I haven’t really spent any time in an arcade for a very long time too, but you’ll want to whip out that roll of quarters (or a bunch of singles) again, because Street Fighter IV has launched. And we’re not just talking Japan either.
As it turns out, Street Fighter IV arcade cabinets are starting to pop up all across Canada and the United States. A arcade machine tracker has been set up that lists the locations known to date, including arcades in California, New York, and Vancouver areas.
Hadouken? Stretching arms of Dhalsim? Flipping antics of newcomer El Fuerte? Whatever your choice, you’ll want to play. I know I do.
Here is the list to date, including cabinets in Canada, US, Australia, and even Korea. If you’ve had the chance to play Street Fighter IV — seems like the cheapest is the 50-cent arcade cabinet in Alabama — feel free to describe your experience via the comment form.
