Street Fighter IV wonât be officially released in US arcades. But that doesnât mean it wonât be released anywhere outside Japan. Take Australia, for example. Or Korea, or Singapore. It might come out there!

Actually, there is quite a bit more demand [for SFIV] in Asia and Oceania than there is in North America. To be honest, the video arcade culture in North America is on the decline. There are not that many venues left for arcade video games any more.
We have seen that there is a lot of value in the markets of Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, New Zealand, Australia, as well as some other markets.
So USA, no, Singapore, yes? Kooky.
