Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition Announced

As if the 3-D edition released last month wasn't enough, it's been confirmed today that Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition will retail for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on June 24th. The new version, set for release both in stores and on the consoles' respective online networks, will feature four new characters, Yun; Yang; Oni and Evil Ryu, a more balanced roster of attacks and more replay value in its newly added video editing software. Much as I loved the original Super Street Fighter IV (9/10), the novelty had already started to wear off in the March 3DS version (7.5/10), and certainly Capcom fans would be better off purchasing either Marvel VS Capcom 3 (9.5/10, out now) or Street Fighter VS Tekken (out this Winter) instead unless something really substantial is announced for what is essentially just another re-release. I'll endeavour to get a review to you after On-Screen's hiatus [more on that soon], but for now await this with trepidation!
