Street Fighter, Capcom launches special packaging for its 25 anniversary

2012 is a special year for the Japanese company Capcom and Street Fighter series of fighting, as it celebrates the 25th anniversary of the first triple play of this franchise. That first Street Fighter has little to do in terms of quality, which now peer through high-definition consoles, but in reality it is light years ahead of Street Fighter II, the sequel which was released in arcades back in 1991 and revolutionized the fighting game one against one, setting the stage for a huge number of similar games that came later.

Although he was the first Street Fighter that gave name to the series, really were the Street Fighter II and Street Fighter II Champion Edition that swept the arcades around the world, generating queues sometimes dozens of players to play a single game. It is logical that Capcom wants to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Street Fithger and will do it by launching a special edition pack full of content, but has left us with a taste somewhat bittersweet. We leave you then with the full detail of what is known as Street Fighter 25th Anniversary Collector's Set.

Street Fighter 25th Anniversary

Let's take, first limited edition collector will come presented in a special box dedicated to the great Ryu. Includes four games in the franchise as: Street Fighter X Tekken, Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition, Street Fighter III: Third Strike Online Edition and Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. The box also includes a Ryu figure of 20 centimeters and a life-size replica of his belt in karate. All downloadable content such as hidden characters, costumes etc ... that have been released for the games above are also included.

The edition is complete with a Blu-Ray documentary on the history of the series, the animated Street Fighter II and the entire series of cartoons of the mid-90's. As a bonus, it also includes a whopping 11 discs containing all the soundtrack of the franchise, with tracks produced by fans and an art book of 64 pages. To provide more value to the collection include the appropriate certificate of authenticity with the numbering of the edition. It's bittersweet that we mentioned above is that it seems very unwise, that in the case of an edition to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Street Fighter, has not included the original game, nor Street Fighter II, a title that catapulted the franchise to worldwide fame. If I understand this package is clearly aimed at fans of Street Figher, I doubt there are many fans of Ryu, Ken and company that they miss these two games.

Street Fighter 1

At the moment this pack has been announced by Capcom for the U.S. market only, which will be released on September 18. Nothing has been said about its release in Europe, but would not be surprising to see you here knowing the good reception they've ever had the Street Fighter games in the old continent. The price of this special edition is $ 150
