It also was translated into English by Taito, who is officially handling distribution of the game in the United States. The Versus kit changes that by offering 2 players on one PCB, thus saving the operator money on the overall investment. Often you are looking at an easy $10k+ investment to put it all together. It’s a cool setup but the problem is that it’s also a very expensive one as well. That meant that if an arcade operator wanted to have a proper two player setup, they had to buy two separate PCBs and provide two cabinets to house the game in. What made this different is that previously, all Arcade kits for SFIV or SSFIV had to be linked together for multiplayer sessions. ![]() Japanese arcades and a few who imported the kit into the US were able to enjoy the game back in December 2010 but in January there was an announcement that a new version of that same game would be released in the United States and Europe – the Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition Versus kit. No I’m not pulling your leg here – contrary to what has been reported (or better said, not reported) in some circles, the latest version of the Street Fighter series, Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition isn’t just a name slapped onto the game as marketing gimmick – there actually is a bonafide coin-operated arcade version of the game that Capcom has produced before they decided to release the content to home consoles.
