Ultra Street Fighter IV is done and finally has a set of solid release dates, depending on which version you’re looking to pick up.
For those who want the digital version for the PS3 ($39.99), or already own Super Street Fighter IV or Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition for the PS3 or Xbox 360 and want the digital upgrade ($14.99), Ultra Street Fighter IV will be available on June 4th via PSN and Xbox Live.
The retail version will hit stores a month later on August 5th, and all the PC version options will be available on August 8th.
The cheaper digital upgrade will not include all previously released costumes, so the full digital release or retail release is the “definitive version” according to Capcom.
Feast your eyes on this new pre-order trailer and read on for the announcement.
