Super Street Fighter IV Confirmed

The standalone budget-priced expansion will have eight new characters, more online features, and rebalanced characters.

Super Street Fighter IV is no longer just a leak, it's a reality, according to Gamespot.

Featuring roughly eight new characters and improved online features, Super Street Fighter IV will be a standalone expansion to Street Fighter IV when it launches in Spring 2010 on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 for a price less than the standard $60.

So far, the only confirmed characters are DeeJay, T. Hawk, and newcomer Juri, who is a female who uses Tae Kwon Do.

All of the returning characters will feature a new ultra combo, and the entire roster will be rebalanced. There will also be some upgrades to the online, with the only reveal being a tease for a lobby system. Sadly, Street Fighter IV will not be compatible with the new game online.

Why not just wait for Super Street Fighter IV Turbo?

Apparently, the first had twenty-five characters. With the eight new ones, it goes up to thirty-three. Not a bad number at all.

I don't mind this type of game upgrade, as long as it's cheaper and the engine fixes justify it. To be honest, if I heard of a Super Smash Bros. Brawl DX, with some balance added in, as well as a few new characters, I'd definitely take it.

My roommate planned to get SFIV when he gets his PS3. I wonder if he'll just stick it out for this iteration of the game, instead?

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Review

It’s been a long time since we’ve seen an entry in the Metroid Prime series - 18 years, in fact. It was 8 years ago that Metroid Prime 4 was originally announced and its development was more than a little turbulent. Initially developed by Bandai Namco, it was later scrapped completely and development was shifted back to Retro Studios to start the project over. In the end, Retro has delivered a solid new entry in the series, but one that doesn’t totally capture what originally made the series so compelling.
