Capcom's genre-defining fighting series, Street Fighter, turns 25 today, and Capcom's going to shout about it.
"For 25 years Street Fighter's iconic hero has wandered the globe in search of the perfect battle, and to commemorate his quest - not to mention the millions of fans who've followed him every step of the way - we're preparing some big plans for 2012," said the publisher on its blog.
"The full details of this international celebration are still to come, but I can at least share the official logo that'll emblazon all related products through the year," said the rep.
That logo is pictured.
It'll also a monumental event this year when the Street Fighter universe clashes with one of its biggest long-time rivals, Tekken, in Street Fighter X Tekken.

Street fighter has become the geekiest game ever (and its still 2d). I'll be saving my excitement for "Capcom decides to finally close the doors on streetfighter because of a petty comment on CVG by a casual gamer"

Unless they're announcing the development of Street Fighter V, which I highly doubt since they already have UMvC3, AE: 2012 and SFxT on the horizon then I'm not getting too excited about it.
Tried going back to playing AE: 2012 last night after a long stint of learning UMvC3 and it's just not the same for me anymore. Marvel is way more fun to play and watch. Long live Marvel. But f**k Wesker, Vergil and Dante.

So plans will likely include the following announcements;
Super Street Fighter IV: Championship Edition
Super Street fighter IV: Arcade Edition (For the 3DS)
Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 EX
Hyper Street Fighter X Tekken
All that before teasing the chance of a Street Fighter V, which just turns out to be a 2013 edition of Street Fighter IV
Edit: The only thing I'd like to hear is a cross-announcement with Manga Entertainment to say they are re-releasing 'Street Fighter 2: The Animated Movie' on Blu-Ray

Big plans? Like cancelling multiple games as you did with Megaman?

Capcom you NEED to bring back Capcom V SNK2, that has to be one of the best fighting games EVER!, Shame capcom dont know what the fans want, maybe all those in favour need to attack capcoms twitter with what we want!
