Street Fighter IV sells 86k copies first day in Japan, Capcom says it's sold out
by Griffin McElroy- Man. Wow. We totally thought this one was going to be a clunker. Seriously, we gave the classic series appropriate fanfare whenever we received any news regarding it, but we were just doing it out of respect. We never thought that the Japanese game consuming populous would snatch up 86,000 copies of Street Fighter IV on its launch day alone. We were thinking it'd be more like a few hundy, maybe a thou by the weekend.
Capcom seems to be just as surprised as we are -- a community manager for the company recently reported that they were "overwhelmed by demand", and that the game had completely sold out in Japan. The only copies within the country's confines rest in a few boxes in Capcom's basement -- they'll apparently be sent out to retailers on Monday, and then snatched up with avarice usually associated with Turboman dolls.

Street Fighter IV Review
Ryan Clements- Street Fighter IV is a fantastic game overall and Capcom should be commended for designing a game that can work on so many levels by appealing to both casual and hardcore players. I'll admit that when I first heard I was reviewing Street Fighter IV, I wasn't terribly excited. I suppose I just didn't think much of it. But as I played and experimented with each character, fighting a variety of the IGN folks and learning something new with every match, I realized just how irrevocably deep fighting games -- and Street Fighter games in particular -- really are. I encourage everyone to give Street Fighter IV a try, even if you're relatively new to the fighting game scene. There's so much depth to the gameplay that you'll be rewarded long after your purchase.
And with that, I'll leave you with the mandatory... Hadoken!

ign gave the game a 9.3, but that "closing comment" blurb sounds like the reviewer wasn't overly impressed.
i think final product looks aweshome. art design, style, simplicity, etc. plus, if it plays anything like the original (and by original, i mean original street fighter II), then its legendary in terms of control and gameplay. i actually wish the game looked like the intro scenes, with that very stylistic black and white ink "splashing" -- that's beautiful. but i do think the game itself looks great, a perfect upgrade of the arcade classic.
no promises of a nintendo version yet, which is upsetting ...and a little puzzling, as it doesn't appear the game would be that difficult to port over. the control scheme could play out like super smash bros, with multiple options.
but, fads aside, the game looks and sounds great.

 Weary from grooming his new mustache, Joe Mama takes a seat in the parking lot in an attempt to catch his breath.

Interestingly, a friend of mine was waiting for this for ages as he is a massive fan.
Bought it the day it came out and traded it in the same day as he thought it was shit.

Has anyone seen if there has been a rise in car tossing since this came out?
Specifically in the Orcas Island area!
