Street Fighter II: The Definitive Soundtrack New Vinyl Pressing Available for Pre-Order

Last year, we reported that Brave Wave Productions had partnered with Capcom and original Street Fighter II composer Yoko Shimomura to produce a remastered version of the original Street Fighter II soundtrack, in both digital and vinyl formats: Street Fighter II: The Definitive Soundtrack.

Of course, the album quickly sold out upon release. As of the time and date of this posting, the cheapest eBay listing has the album going for just under $125 USD. However, If you missed out the first time around, Brave Wave recently announced some good news through partner Tiny Mix Tapes:

You can pre-order a copy from the re-press here for $75.00 USD. The album description from Mondo states that the “soundtrack release includes new remasters of both CPS-1 and CPS-2 versions of the arcade game, extracted directly from the arcade boards and approved by original composer Yoko Shimomura.”

A soundtrack like this definitely deserves another press and release!

Team Critical Reaction Recruits Patrick “keninblack” Kelly, Their Third Skullgirls Player

In the late hours of last night, Critical Reaction had an announcement to make:

This makes the third top Skullgirls player they’ve added to their ranks. Patrick’s exploits at the most recent CEOtaku, which we detailed in our writeup, didn’t go unnoticed.  Kelly responded with appreciation for the opportunity.

The love was–of course–mutual between team members, with Jon “dekillsage” Coello congratulating him:

Patrick has the support of most of the community, in fact, inside and outside of the game. He has been starting up a comedy career along with his gaming, and community members regularly make efforts to attend his stand up shows.
