That was fast. The earlier announcement of the Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix “branded experience” that is up as of yesterday (November 19, 2008) on Xbox Live hinted that the game would release on the Xbox Live Arcade on November 26, 2008. We assumed that the PlayStation Network release would follow a day later but not anymore.

In a press release just sent out by Capcom, the company has confirmed that the XBLA version will in fact launch on the November 26, 2008, with the PSN version launching one day prior, marking the game’s release on November 25, 2008, (next Tuesday) instead of the usual PSN release day (next Thursday).

The release dates were confirmed as a part of Capcom’s “Season of Street Fighter,“ it’s celebration of the game’s release. The “season” promises to bring in a variety of downloadable content, as well as musical tracks, and of course, the “newly revamped digital destination points” such as the all new “branded destination” and the Capcom Storefront on PSN.

1UP dived a little further into the DLC saying that the PlayStation Network will receive a hip-hop inspired soundtrack that will be downloadable for free. For the Xbox 360 fighters, Pinball FX already has its Street Fighter themed table while Uno will receive “power move” cards.

And we promise this is the last time we will talk about the game short of a review.
