[EN]: Capcom has just released new information to the gaming press about plans to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Street Fighter franchise. This announcement should be making lots of fans happy, especially now that the franchise is recognized all around the world.
First, the Collector’s Edition seems like the perfect gift for any Street Fighter fan, though the one game that started it all is missing, the very first Street Fighter (known on a retro-console as Fighting Street for the Turbo Grafx 16). The package includes four of the most current releases of the franchise, including Street Fighter x Tekken (with downloadable content), Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition (with downloadable content, too), Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix and Street Fighter III 3rd Strike Online Edition. The set also comes with a Ryu statute, 11 music CDs of past SF games, a replica of Ryu’s belt (sweet!), a 64-page art book, a two-disc Blu-Ray of a documentary along with two anime movies and the entire anime series.
The price will not be cheap though. If you thought $149.99, then you’re right. Capcom is also organizing a tournament based on the games that will come in the package. It will take place in California, Texas, Taiwan, Japan, France, Brasil, and England. What’s awesome about this may be the award for the winner in Street Fighter X Tekken: an all-new Scion FR-S Sports Coupe. Read the following press release for more info.

El precio no será barato sin embargo. Si pensabas en $149,99 dólares, entonces tienes razón. Capcom también está organizando un torneo basado en los juegos que vienen en el paquete.
