It doesn't look like Street Fighter IV arcade cabinets are going to make it (officially) out of Japan. Ah well. If you live in Britain, come February you'll get a chance to play one. Albeit temporarily.
Capcom are bringing a few cabinets to the UK, and will be rolling them down mainland Great Britain (sorry Northern Ireland!) throughout February. Denizens of Edinburgh, Sheffield, Hull, London and Birmingham will be taken care of, with Street Fighter merch/swag also up for grabs for those who make the trip.
The dates and locations for the tour are:
29th January – 1st of February
Edinburgh’s Gamestation on Princes Street (EH2 4AH)
5th February – 8th February
Sheffield’s Gamestation in Meadowhall Shopping Centre (S9 1ER)
19th February – 22nd February
London’s HMV in Oxford St
26th February – 1st March
Birmingham’s Gamestation on New St (B2 4NS)
5th March – 8th March
Hull’s Gamestation in Prospect Centre (HU2 8PW)
