Street Fighter IV producer Yoshinori Ono has revealed that he’s hoping to have the hotly anticipated crossover beat ‘em up Street Fighter x Tekken on store shelves in less than two years.
Regular readers may recall that Ono-san previously staple-gunned a two-year time frame to the project back at Comic-Con, though this apparently didn’t sit too well with Capcom’s Keiji Inafune, who suggested Ono trim down the waiting period.
As a result, the firm is now aiming to have the game out in less than two years, though Ono was quick to point out that they’re not going to release the game unless it’s up to scratch.
“At Comic-Con I think I said two years. After that I got called into Inafune’s room and he literally kicked my arse,” Ono told Eurogamer. “So I’m trying to shorten that. So, yeah, less than two years.
“Having said that, we can’t just announce it and then release something that’s not very good,” he added.
“So we really have to put our effort in this. Okay, we announced it a bit early. That was just so that we don’t let you down. We also have this duty of bringing out something perfect, to deliver it to you. We’ll be doing our best in doing so.”
Street Fighter x Tekken will be release for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
