Street Fighter V is looking like the next-gen fighting game fans have been waiting for, and now super fans have the option of purchasing a collector's edition of the game.
Revealed today by Capcom, the Street Fighter V Collector's Edition will include a 10 inch Ryu statue, with the series' lead character striking the same pose seen on the game's box art. The special edition will also come with a 48-page hardcover artbook, digital Street Fighter comics, and a partial game soundtrack.
It will also come with a Twitch one-month subscription to the Capcom Fighters Channel. This bonus will be included in all copies of Street Fighter V (including the standard versions) and unlocks access to special Street Fighter chat emoticons and video archive access. The collector's edition will retail for $99.99.
Capcom also announced additional pre-order bonuses for those who reserve a copy of the game. Players who pre-order at Gamestop will be granted the Battle Costume Ryu skin, which gives Ryu some serious facial hair. Those who pre-order at Best Buy will snag the Battle Costume Cammy skin. If you'll notice, Cammy is looking a little different in these new screenshots when compared to images from her initial reveal. As Kotaku reports, this may be due to fan complaints in Japan about Cammy's appearance.
If you are a M. Bison fan you'll want to pre-order through Amazon for an exclusive Battle Costume skin. Last but certainly not least is the pre-order bonus for those who reserve their copy of the game digitally through the PlayStation Store or on PC: Battle Costume Chun-Li. "Battle" has nothing to do with this skin, as Chun-Li sports a dress that shows off her ridiculously muscular thighs.
Retailer exclusive DLC is is annoying to be sure, so it's a little disappointing to see Capcom announce so many. The company has yet to announce if some of these skins will be available for purchase later. Still, at least Capcom is sweetening the pre-order deal after the game's problem-filled beta earlier this summer. Street Fighter V launches on PlayStation 4 and PC in March 2016.
