So is this dlc or a stand alone title? Capcom is really starting to rub me the wrong way with all this money grubbing. Having dlc that's acutally already on disc and you're actually purchasing a key to access it (RE:5 and SSFIV), releasing rehashed title after title, and Marvel vs. Capcom 3 feels like a beta version because it was rushed out. Come on guys.
It's a full retail release, but it may follow the same path as Super Street Fighter IV (released at a reduced price - $40 was it?).
Have you seen Dead Rising 2: Off the Record? If you think Capcom is pushing its luck with its fanbase now, then you'd best not investigate... ;(
Oh, and DLC.
A retail and DLC release for Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition is planned, I've discovered.
OK, Thanks for the update Ollie ;)
No doubt. ;)
Update: I read on another site that, like you said, the content will also be offered as DLC for a price of $14.99. Not bad I suppose.
Oh awesome, thanks!
Yeah, $15 isn't that bad for DLC if it adds enough stuff, but it does mean that it takes Super Street Fighter IV up closer to regular retail price for original buyers.
Still! Nice that Capcom isn't forcing fans to re-buy the entire game again!
