SSFIV Arcade content console-bound?

By Fred Dutton Published 6 January, 2011

Ono hints at Yun and Yang DLC.

Capcom has offered console scrappers keen to get their thumbs around exclusive Super Street Fighter IV Arcade fighters Yun and Yang a sliver of hope.

According to Siliconera, back in October series producer Yoshinori Ono pitched the idea to Capcom USA of offering the two characters – originally from Street Fighter III: New Generation - as DLC for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 gamers.

Judging by recent messages on Ono's Twitter feed, it looks like it could be happening. When asked for an update on the Yun and Yang situation, Ono cryptically posted, "Hehehe, We are developing SSFIV for Nintendo 3DS just now. Next, we will be..... ;D"

The arcade version of Super Street Fighter IV, released last month, also rebalanced a few fighters, but it's unclear whether those changes could be console-bound as well.

Ono also offered an update, of sorts, on whether Super Street Fighter IV would ever see a PC release. Capcom initially ruled it out last year, but it seems a backtrack isn't completely out of the question.

When directed towards an online petition for a PC release, he posted, "I know it. I'm trying it. Plz wait it's news."

No, we're not quite sure what to take from that either.

The console version of Super Street Fighter IV arrived on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 last year to considerable acclaim. Eurogamer's Simon Parkin awarded the game a mighty 10/10.

    I've given up waiting for that PC version, not one of their upcoming fighters are coming our way either. Maybe time to quit the PCGA membership Capcom you've clearly given up supporting PC.

    It's sad because SF4 sold well enough for them to be happy and they showed beat 'em ups could be done on PC, and better than the consoles at that. Maybe Ed Boon will fill the gap Capcom have left, he's already said he likes the idea....

    I want Street Fighter 3 New Generation, 2nd Impact and 3rd Strike HD Versions!! Please Capcom, bring these to PSN and Xbox Live like you did for the Dreamcast.

    Of course the content will come to the consoles. I just wish they stopped fucking around and admitted it.

    I'm looking forward to the balance changes. But I guess they're waiting and seeing how arcade people react to those before committing to them fully.

    The achievment list for the new content is out so this is old news.

    It is slightly odd that they continue to do this dance, despite it being fairly clear they are going to release it anyway.

    "It's sad because SF4 sold well enough for them to be happy and they showed beat 'em ups could be done on PC, and better than the consoles at that."

    Yeah I always find Beat 'em ups are best played by two overweight losers huddled around a keyboard, elbowing each others bingo wings as they try to pull off a Hadoken.

    @NeoKenzi - sf3 Online Edition is currently being developed by Capcom for probably a Autumn/Winter 2011 release - they've got to give time for MvC3 and SF4:AE (rumored June 2011) to sell before releasing SF3:3S Online Edition - unless they use SF3:oE as a teaser/promo for Yun/Yang in SF4:AE.
