Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition Revealed by BBFC

The British version of an ESRB slip occurred recently, as the British Board of Film Classification rated additional animated material to be included in a console release of Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition. This substantiates a rumor that the arcade version of SSFIV, which included additional characters and balance changes, would eventually make it to consoles. The rating also included the release date of June 24, 2011.

The aforementioned characters include Yun and Yang from Street Fighter III, and additional boss characters Evil Ryu and Oni Akuma. Yun was my homeboy in Third Strike, and I’ve always wanted to play him in SSFIV, so this is pretty good news for me.

Most speculated that this content would be delivered via DLC, as the additions to the game don’t appear to warrant a full retail re-re-release. This evidence seemingly points to the contrary, but as usual, we don’t know anything until Capcom issues the official word.

If real, this means you will have purchased Street Fighter IV three times. I suppose there was a time when the mere existence of SFIV was an impossibility, so it’s better to have too much than not enough… right?
