Street Fighter Sackboys imminent? News
PlayStation 3 News by Tom Bramwell
As if Sephiroth and Solid Snake were not enough, Sony seems to have lined up a Street Fighter IV quartet for Sackboy treatment ahead of the game's 20th February release.
Discovered by a Spanish PlayStation forum, the images of cute wickle Chun Li, Guile, Zangief and Ryu (no filthy Ken) in LittleBigPlanet digs were subsequently pulled "as requested by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe", but Ripten managed to preserve them And what handsome little creatures they are.
Pending official comment from Capcom and Sony, however, which we couldn't get at the time of writing, we'll have to acknowledge that they could be the extremely well-worked stylings of a handy amateur.
Then again, as 1UP points out, the original press release announcing the Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix release date and "Season of Street Fighter" said:
"Capcom will also have another 'little' surprise coming to the PlayStation Network later in the holiday season."
Given the developer's obsession with fan service, and Sony's with the same, Street Fighter Sackboys are probably barely the half of it.

Heh heh. I'll have some of Sack Zangief :)
PS - are Sephiroth/Snake available on the UK PSN, or would I need a US account to get them? |

"fuck off sack boy, isnt it clear by now that no one fucking wants you?!"
Quite, including the 6000 people in the LittleBigPlanet Level Makers group or the hundreds of thousands of people who bought the game. |

They look really cute :) God how I wish it was released on a different platform. Maybe I can rent a PS3 somewhere, LBP looks awesome.

I want Sackboy. I want a Sackboy plush, a Sack Boy figurine, a Sackboy costume, a Sackboy lunch box, a Sackboy flask, a Sackboy duvet, a Sackboy cartoon, a Sackboy condom, a Sackboy sack and a Sackboy video game on PS3 with non-frustrating controls.
