Super Street Fighter IV assistant producer Tomoaki Ayano provided a mysterious pic in the week's
Saikyo blog update on the official site:
"Juri and Hakan are moving on a Vewlix cabinet. The instruction card is from Street Fighter IV, though."
He didn't say what exactly was powering the game in that cabinet.
"The console Super SFIV development squad has an after party and also changes to the arcade version port team!! True development starts with goal of a 100% port!!"
The "after party" he's referring to was held recently to commemorate Super Street Fighter IV's completion. In attendance at the event were some big guests, including Afro Samurai director Fuminori Kizaki.
The event also served as a "graduation ceremony" for Nakky, the console version's assistant producer. She handed over the blog responsibilities to Ayano with Super's console release.
This is good news for arcade operators who already bought Street Fighter 4, because this seems to be a pretty strong indicator that the upgrade from the original to Super can be done on all the same hardware. I'm just glad this doesn't require buying a completely new board.
