Super Street Fighter IV Not Coming To Arcades

We're pretty much guaranteed that Super Street Fighter IV will come next spring to home consoles. But will we see an arcade version of the fourth enhanced iteration of Capcom's legendary fighting game series this time around?

For answers, the German website GamesReactor sat down with Director Yoshinori Ono, and asked him if we will see an arcade port of Super Street Fighter IV. Sadly, the answer was no. Again.

Telling the website that, “So, unfortunately, I’m sorry to say to arcade fans out there: there won’t be an arcade version of this. I think a lot of people were kind of requesting an arcade update .I know that, in some parts of the world, it doesn’t really matter if there’s an arcade version or not,”

Yoshinori Ono then continued to say, “But certainly in Japan and the rest of Asia and some parts of the Oceania, there’s still a lot of people playing in arcades. So, I’m sorry to disappoint them but this time its going to be Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 only affair.”

Too bad arcade fans. You can always place your quarters on the edge of your TV screen if that makes you feel any better. (Yeah I know it won't.) Super Street Fighter IV is projected to ship in spring of 2010 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
