Where's Destructoid's Street Fighter IV review?
Nick Chester | 7:33 AM on 02.16.2009 20 comments


This is a good question. Let me check the letter I received two weeks ago when Capcom sent me final review builds of the game. What's this? "Any online review coverage from this build is embargoed until the release of Street Fighter IV, February 17, 2009." /looks at calendar.

So that's that, guys. I've seen a few reviews have gone up, already -- you can search and find them easily online. While it's entirely possible other outlets were given free passes to post their reviews early (print mags or larger sites like IGN, for instance), I'll just be sticking to our original plan here.

If you're wondering (and haven't figured it out yet), I'm just going to recommend that you buy it. And chances are, you've already made up your mind. If you spend $60 tomorrow and you intend on playing human beings (either online or in person), you're not going to be disappointed. Check back tomorrow for more words, some pictures, and a number (if that's what you're looking for).

Nick, you know that in only 1 hour from now (10AM EST), it will be February 17th in Tokyo Japan. Did that letter from Capcom specify that you had to wait until it was February 17th in America? If not you could post the review in an hour, since it will be Tuesday someplace in the world. ;-)

A bit off topic.. But, what about Onechanbara? The one where R3y said it would done soon a couple of days ago?

I'm going to strike the table with my fork, spoon and knife and chant "We want Jim! We want Onechanbara!" until we know. Kthxbai. ;D

I've seen many numbers in this game's reviews, and many of them are 10s. I'm excited for Friday (the date we filthy Europeans have to wait for).

Luckily there is an arcade nearby that has SFIV. So I can wait.

I really hope that this is some sort of hint at Capcom putting in a round-robin lobby system instead of just 1v1 for online.

Well I'm probably part of the small minority but I wont buy this game when it comes out tomorrow. I'll rent it first and give it a shot and if I like what I play I will buy it.

Typical bias toward embargoes.

just say you had your review all typed up and ready to go and it 'accidently' got posted.

Methinks I'll be stopping at Gamestop to throw down some money on it tonight. That and I still gotta mod my Hori stick.

I'm probably just gonna rent this to start out with. Something tells me I'd rather grab Tatsunoko vs. Capcom first.

@Nick: SO right now it's Tuesday, 3:33AM in Tokyo, Japan. That means that it's Tuesday in roughly 1/8 of the world. That has to count enough to be able to post a review. After all, Capcom is a Japanese company right, so they should know very well that it's Tuesday.

So where's our review?

Feh. As a Canadian I gotta wait until Wednesday. Nerts to you lot! :p

I want to get SFIV, but tbh I may have to wait for a bit as the TE stick is draining my funds. Thankfully I have lots of games I can use the TE stick for. :D
