After rapid releases of new fighting game iterations, the genre died down quite a bit in the 2000s. Capcom, having released umpteen Street Fighter games in the 90s, had to wait until the market was more receptive with the release of Street Fighter 4, nearly a decade later.
Apparently, the company hasn't learned its lesson. After releasing Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix, Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike Online Edition, Marvel vs. Capcom Origins, Darkstalkers Resurrection, etc., it appears that interest in HD revivals of fighting classics is waning.

The Street Fighter 25th Anniversary Collector's Set is already teetering on the edge of ridiculousness. The $150 pack boasts four full games and a host of other goodies. But if all that wasn't quite enough to convince you, the PlayStation 3 version will apparently get even more games as downloadable titles.

Do you love Street Fighter enough to pay $150 for a fancy box packed with SF goodies including four games, an 11-disc soundtrack, an 8" light-up Ryu statue, and a replica of the fighting man's black belt? If so, why, what a happy coincidence, as Capcom today announced such a set to celebrate 25 years of the beloved franchise.

Capcom, Evo, and G4 have just announced that G4tv.com will stream 45 hours of live coverage via Stickam from the Evolution 2010 Championship Series of fighting game tournaments, which takes place next weekend from July 9 to 11 in Las Vegas, NV.
Now, selfishly, I must announce that this is incredibly awesome as I initially pitched the idea of G4 coverage to Capcom and Seth Killian back in January while checking out an early build of Super Street Fighter IV when I was still with G4. I attended Evo 2009 and even competed and saw first hand how exciting the series is. Of course, I must give it up to G4, Capcom, Evo, and Stickam for getting the deal done and for bringing full stream coverage and television coverage to the fighting community. Read more »
