Earlier today, arcade operators around Japan were informed that Capcom will be updating Ultra Street Fighter IV to ver.1.05. While the exact contents of this patch are unknown, it will be focused on fixing a number of bugs. No word has been released as to if it will arrive on home consoles.

Additionally, in mid-May, Ultra Street Fighter IV will become a NESiCAxLive compatible title. Until now, the title has made use of the NESiCA online services and card system, but it was not part of the actual network. This will allow it to be played at game centers that utilize TAITO’s digital distribution service.

While these are important updates to the arcade version of Capcom’s leading fighter, it’s still unclear how, if at all, this will affect other platforms, including the upcoming PlayStatio 4 port. Stay tuned for more details.
