This spot will be updated with an official trailer once it releases tomorrow which also promises to reveal the upgrade’s name.  Sorry to spoil the surprise but I’m guessing this “Hyper Street Fighter IV” logo making the rounds is no longer purely coincidence.

UPDATE: Close but no Sagat, as they say.  2014’s upgrade to SFIV is not Hyper, it’s Ultra.  As promised, here’s your first glimpse at Ultra Street Fighter IV.  Will Street Fighter IV trump Street Fighter II as the most re-released fighting game in Capcom’s catalogue?  Ask me in about a dozen or more versions.
