Capcom has finally revealed the North American packaging for the Collector’s Edition of Street Fighter IV as well as a brand new standard box art for the game. The new standard box art is the same as the Japanese box art, after Capcom heard the voices of gamers getting angry because the Japanese box art was so much better.
The North American packaging for the Collector’s Edition is simply sexy. They don’t want to give us some Collector’s Edition with a “craptacular “behind-the-scenes†video and “art book†with less images than you can find on any website into a cheesey tin box.” Instead they’re giving us this:
- The game (duh)
- A limited-edition (ie., not sold anywhere else) figurine – Ryu in the PS3 box, C. Viper hotness in the 360 flavor. Decisions, decisions…
- Street Fighter IV: The Ties That Bind: a 65 minute anime movie — created by Studio 4C — that sets up the story of SFIV by explaining events post-SFII. BluRay disc in the PS3 box! The Xbox version is a 360 game disc that outputs the movie at 720P, not a DVD.
- A mini-strategy guide from Prima, written by the same people doing the full-on guide and illustrated by Udon Comics
- CD soundtrack. Rock SFIV stage chunez in your car!
- …Plus some secret additional downloadable content that we’re not quite ready to reveal at this point. Look for more announcements soon!
The price? $79.99. Pretty good price for such a magnificent package.
