Street Fighter 25th Anniversary Collector's Set has lots of things

Didn't you know? They started at II because sequels sell better.

Have you heard? Street Fighter is turning 25 this year, and Capcom is celebrating with a great big box of Street Fighter stuff.

The $150 package includes a whole bunch of games, of course. Specifically Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, Street Fighter III 3rd Strike Online Edition, Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition, and Street Fighter X Tekken. The package also includes all of the costume and character DLC for Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter X Tekken, though the announcement doesn't mention if the palette swap DLC for Street Fighter III. Yes, yet another Street Fighter anniversary collection is being released without the game that's actually celebrating its anniversary, the original Street Fighter.

Of course, for $150, there's a lot more to the package than just a quartet of fighting games. It also includes a bunch of other stuff:

- A two-disc bluray set with the Street Fighter IV and Super Street Fighter IV anime movies, the Street Fighter animated series and Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie.

- An 8-inch Ryu statue in mid Shoryuken, with the flames lit from below.

- An 11-disc soundtrack with various Street Fighter tunes, including both in-game music and fan arrangements.

- A 64-page artbook with official and fan art.

- A full-size replica of Ryu's belt. Private wind for persistent backwards flowing not included.

- A certificate of authenticity to prove that you didn't fake your massive Street Fighter merchandise collection.

All of this can be yours for $150 on September 18th, in both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions.
