There’s a season for all things, even Street Fighter

In honor of Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix finally being released on PSN and Xbox Live, Capcom has announced the “Season of Street Fighter,” a celebration of all things pugilistic. SF-themed DLC, music and “digital destination points” are all included in the festivities.

The Super Street Fighter Pinball FX downloadable pack was the start of the season, which will soon be followed by a pack for Street Fighter UNO. In addition, Capcom is promising a “little surprise” coming to the PlayStation Network soon.

As if that’s not enough … because let’s face it, it’s not very much … Capcom has also announced a direct-to-download hip hop album inspired by Street Fighter. I am going to repeat that sentence so it sinks in. Capcom has announced a direct-to-download hip hop album inspired by Street Fighter.

It will feature people I have never heard of, including Mistah FAB, Oh No and Zion I. Strangely enough, none of their names sound as silly to say as Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. For more information, hit the press release beyond the jump.
