The time has come.

We’ve all been waiting for this moment. Starting tomorrow, the official Super SF 2 Turbo HD Remix beta will be released on Xbox Live. In case you haven’t heard, the beta was included as an add-on bonus for those who’ve purchased Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 for Xbox Live Arcade. So yes, that means you’ve actually have to throw down a bit of e-funds to be among the first to relive this enhanced arcade classic.

I bet you wanna be among the first to play it don’t you? Well GotNext is giving (5) lucky winners for the 360.

Update @ 1:22 p.m.  We’ve just discovered PS3 owners won’t be able to participate, but we’ll still hand you a key to get Commando 3 for the PS3 if you’re eager to play it. Sorry for the confusion guys.

To qualify, simply tell us how the correct command on how to perform Vega’s Rolling Izuna Backdrop super move. (Oh, and we’re speaking about the domestic version, so no moves intended for Mr. Psycho Crusha or your entry will be considered GGPO.)

Send your entry to contests@got-next.com with the subject header “Super SF2 Turbo HD Remix”. All correct entries will be placed into a random drawing. Winners will be selected on June 25, 11:30 EST and contacted via email and announced right here on GotNext. Let me repeat that - you’ve got 24hours from the time of this post to enter!

So put away that e-dough and take a shot at our giveaway. Who knows, you may end up a winner and then you can show Seth Killian your awesome skillz.


The beta is scheduled to run for approximately eight weeks, ending around August 20 (or whenever Capcom has decided that they’re sick of getting owned). Hm, me owning Seth Killian — I’d cherish that day.

So while you all start counting down the minutes, here’s a few new batch of screens featuring the Shotokan Duo to help fight that burning sensation to show the rest of the world just how awesome you really are. Check back tomorrow for two HD-quality videos.

The legend returns, albeit without online love.

This evening, Namco released new gamplay footage of Soulcalibur, one of Namco’s most sensational titles set to make its debut for the Xbox Live Arcade. The new footage reveals the classic 3D fighter’s graceful transition in HD bliss. Diehard fans should expect a faithful port, joined by the standard arcade, survival and training modes. The XBLA edition will also include an online leaderboard, which will be the only aspect of competitive flair fans can look forward to other than having to settle for local sessions. Yeah, we’re not too thrilled about that either but it’s still going to be exciting to revisit an all-time favorite. Look forward to its release this summer.

Enjoy the short video montage of Soulcalibur featuring personal favorites like Taki, Ivy, Kilik, Maxi and more. Oh and we wanted to embed the video but our skills to do that have gone rusty.

Now the excitement truly begins.

Viewers who tune in to watch the CBS EliteXC Saturnay Night Fights will be treated to the first-ever television commercial of Street Fighter IV. The program is scheduled to air this Saturday, May 31 at 9pm. According to the press release, the trailer will make its debut immediately following the bout on the StreetFighter.com (featuring a countdown to the trailer set to run simultaneously with the commercial) along with an official GameStop prorder campaign for the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions. All customers who receive a limited-edition collectable Street Fighter Tribute artbook, illustrated by top artists from the comic book and video game industries.

It just keeps better guys - we can’t wait to finally get our personal hands-on session with SFIV this year at E3.

Editor’s Thoughts: Back when the game was still in its 2% phase, it was hard to keep my optimism up. However, all the recent updates that’s revealed a massive rehaul of Chun Li and Ryu’s designs, new original characters and an upcoming announcement to follow on May 30 has clearly made raised my enthusiasm beyond words.
