Spotted onPower Glove‘s always epic C-blog, this new trailer forStreet Fighter IVcould be the most thought provoking yet.Not because it has an alarming amount of new content, because it doesn’t. Everything that shows up in this trailer is at least ten years old: old favorites like Ryu, Zangief, and… Faith No More’s Epic?Clearly Capcom is trying to appeal to the nostalgia (and disposable incomes) of young adults, now out of college with good paying jobs, who ten years ago were experiencing puberty, “Alternative Rock and Roll” andStreet Fighter IIallfor the first time. That’s all well and good, by why the Youtube-yness, Capcom? When this video ended and there was no “Created by a 14 year old ‘Make your own Street Fighter video’ contest winner!”, I almost fell over.There is borrowing from YouTube theright way, and then there is this. Or am I being too harsh?
