I Play Winner spotted a listing on GameStop showing the potential price and release date for Super Street Fighter IV. It looks like we can expect the game to come out on March 23, 2010 for the low price of $39.99.
$39.99 was about what I was expecting Super Street Fighter IV to go for. It's not a bad price point if you ask me. You're getting everything from Street Fighter IV plus a ton of new stuff and fixes. What about you? Think this price is fair?
We've reached out to Capcom to get the official word on this and will let you know if the GameStop listing is indeed true.
[Thanks, clue!]

$40 seems fair. But then i like street fighter and am old enough to know they could have put a speed boost in and charged $60. hehe.
But you know there's those three thousand plus people who'll complain about Capcom being evil and whoring us for their money.
You happy now SF community? I'm finally losing my SF virginity.
that's a motherfucking steal man. I would have bought it for 60.
I’m still having great fun with Street Fighter IV, but I’d happily pay full whack for a comprehensive list of gameplay changes if they improved upon the experience in a way that justifies charging the price of a brand new game.
Will definitely be buying.
you are a motherfucking idiot. sorry.
sorry that you're an idiot. not sorry for calling you an idiot.
idiot.
I don't understand people that think 8-10 new characters, new modes, new online features, new balancing and moves for all existing characters and most likely a lot MORE that we haven't heard yet isn't worth full game price.
This is adding more than most full fighting sequels do and it's already established that it's going to be AT LEAST very good since the last one was exactly so.
Or I suppose you can buy BlazBlue Charge/Ram-Strike++ZX when it comes out with only two new characters and not much else (which I probably will, but the point is, it's not giving you as much).
Frankly, this timing, pricing, and amount of content seems PERFECT to me. Every good tourny fighter should be getting once a year updates to stoke the fires of the scene and balance out the gameplay.
Elaborate. I've laid out my feelings on the matter in a fairly wordy manner in comments on the other articles, namely Topher's how to STFU guide. I'm not changing my viewpoint because I see a price tag. I think it's capable, and most suited to being $20 DLC, but that's not going to stop me from buying what looks to be an amazing new game in the SF series.
I accept your price point Capcom. Now I just need to learn how to play SFIV.
