Ono: Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition won't come to consoles

[Omyakha]

If you were looking forward to one day buying the "Arcade Edition" of Super Street Fighter IV on a PS3 or Xbox 360 disc (or even 3DS cartridge), you can go ahead and put that money toward something else. (Marvel vs. Capcom 3, maybe?) Producer Yoshinori Ono told Famitsu (via Andriasang) that Capcom has no plan to release the Arcade Edition for home consoles.

The reason lies in the game balance. The Arcade Edition includes characters who are deliberately unbalanced -- we're thinking Oni and Evil Ryu here -- in order to build "competitive spirit" among the people who hang out at arcades and play in short sessions. The home version of Super Street Fighter IV has been designed to better equalize the characters.

Of course, the absence of a standalone console release of the arcade version of the game doesn't preclude the release of Evil Ryu, Oni, Yun and Yang as Super Street Fighter IV DLC -- something Ono has proposed before.

Got you going for a minute didn't I. This does clear up one thing though, it's definitely going to be through DLC now

Thank God there won't be another disc based release.

This doesn't deserve a thread in my opinion. Ono is trolling as usual.
Lupinko, the guy who leaked the MvC3 roster, has already confirmed that AE DLC is on the way.

Ono wants you to spend your quarters in the arcades, buy the 3DS version, and then he will say "Look. I'm your hero. You wanted it so I fought my company and convinced them to give you AE"

No.
Region 2 discs can download from any Region 2 PSN (like UAE or India. I dunno if Pak has PSN store)
