BBFC outs SSFIV Arcade Edition for UK
UPDATE: Release date revealed.
UPDATE: The BBFC lists a release date for Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition: 24th June 2011.
While we're at it, we'll point out it has Resident Evil The Mercenaries 3D down for release on 17th June.
ORIGINAL STORY: The British Board of Film Classification has confirmed the launch of Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition in the UK.
The BBFC's listing mentions anime animator Jiro Kanai as director, suggesting the Arcade Edition includes new intro and outro movies.
Predictably, the game was passed with no cuts made.
Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono has teased the launch of the Arcade Edition, which includes four new playable characters, for months now.
Speaking to Eurogamer ahead of the launch of Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition last Thursday, Ono said: "Well, if you think I'm a tease, I ought to have something to show if I'm teasing. But that's all I can say because of political issues."
The AE adds Yun and Yang from Street Fighter III as playable characters, as well as Evil Ryu and new character Oni (an even more evil Akuma) as secret bosses.
Gameplay balance changes are also implemented, some of which have sparked intense debate within the fighting game community.
