Super Street Fighter II HD Remix and free exclusive soundtrack coming to PSN on November 25
Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix is coming to the PlayStation Store next week. And even better -- you won't have to wait until Thursday to get your hands on it! Capcom's fighting game will arrive during the super-special Thanksgiving Store update on Tuesday, November 25th. That means Street Fighter fans will get the game one day earlier on PS3 than on Xbox 360. In addition to the game, Capcom will also be releasing a direct-to-download music album of hip-hop tracks inspired by the Street Fighter series. "Street Fighter Underground Remix" will feature artists such as DJ Qbert, Hieroglyphics, Redman, Oh No, DJ Toure, Mistah Fab and Zion I. Each artist has produced a Street Fighter tribute track that will be free of charge and exclusive to the PlayStation Network when Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix launches. But that's not all PlayStation fans have to look forward to. Capcom also teased another bonus for PS3 owners: "Capcom will also have another 'little' surprise coming to the PlayStation Network later in the holiday season." We know we're not supposed to get excited because they used the word "little." But darn you, Capcom! Stop teasing us!Update: The price? $14.99. Trophy support? Not at launch.%Gallery-9057%
