360 - Street Fighter IV - Street Fighter IV Home Version Detailed

Although its existence has been known practically from the moment the arcade version was announced, Capcom formally announced that home versions of Street Fighter IV are currently in the works.

Capcom: Beware Street Fighter IV "Gray Market"

360 - Street Fighter IV - Capcom: Beware Street Fighter IV "Gray Market"

Edge writes: "Even though Street Fighter IV arcade cabinets haven't officially gone on sale in the U.S., that hasn't kept North American fans and certain arcade establishments from getting caught up in SFIV import fever.

360 - Street Fighter IV - Akuma Now Playable On Japanese Street Fighter IV Cabinets

Akuma is a "sort of" boss character in Street Fighter IV. He'll turn up when you're kicking too much ass, and need a reminder on the natural order of things. Since late last week, though, he's also been a playable character, with a code distributed to Japanese arcades allowing him to be unlocked and played. The official site's even got his moves list up, so you can study up before hitting the arcades. As for SFIV cabinets outside Japan, well, this is what Capcom means when they say the imported units are officially "unsupported". Sorry!
