Capcom(R) Kicks Off the Next Generation of Fighting Games With Street Fighter(TM) IV

The Next Round of the Definitive Fighting Game Experience Combines 3D

Graphics with Classic Street Fighter Feel

    SAN MATEO, Calif., Dec. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Capcom(R), a leading
 worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today officially
 announced development of Street Fighter(TM) IV, the next iteration of the
 genre-establishing fighting game series. This marks the first new entry
 announced in nearly eight years, following the acclaimed Street Fighter III
 Third Strike.
 
     In its amazing twenty year history, Street Fighter has revolutionized
 the fighting genre and created a global legacy like no other. Few details
 have been released on the new game, outside of a heart-pounding preview
 trailer that set the gaming community on fire when it was released in
 October on the official website, StreetFighterWorld.com.
 
     Capcom is proud to announce the return of four classic "World Warriors"
 in Street Fighter IV: returning favorites Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, and Dhalsim.
 The characters and environments are rendered in stylized 3D computer
 graphics (CG), while the game is played in the classic Street Fighter 2D
 perspective with additional 3D camera flourishes. The traditional
 six-button controls for the game will return, with a host of new special
 moves and features integrated into the input system. Mixing tried-and-true
 classic moves and techniques with all-new, never-before-seen gameplay
 systems, Street Fighter 4 brings a brand new fighting game to fans the
 world over.
 
     Everything that made the legendary Street Fighter II a hit in arcades,
 living rooms and dormitories all over the world has been brought to bear
 here, with even more surprises. With the inclusion of Capcom's latest
 advancements in new generation technology, Street Fighter IV promises to
 deliver an extraordinary experience that will re-introduce the world to the
 time-honored art of virtual martial arts.
