Capcom seemingly blows their own secret with NXE screenshot.
Capcom has announced a new branded company storefront coming to the New Xbox Experience tomorrow, and it appears that they slipped word on the release date for Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix in the process. Joystiq reports that a screenshot released with the announcement (above) simply says, "Coming Nov 26 to Xbox LIVE Arcade," and it's hard to get clearer than that. We already knew the game was targeting a November release, and with Wednesdays in November rapidly depleting, this was the only date left to hit that target.
Barring some freak accident like November 26 being a placeholder date, we're prepared to call this one confirmed. What's suspicious is the announcement itself. Such a massive oversight is hard to see as a simple mistake, but Capcom's Christian Svensson previously said that the company would "broadcast from the highest tower in the kingdom" once it passed the approval process. A screenshot slip-up in a semi-related Xbox 360 announcement hardly seems like the pomp and circumstance he implied there. As PlayStation 3 updates tend to come on Thursdays, you might be welcoming Ryu and Ken into your home by Turkey Day for both systems. We'll let you know when we hear an official announcement.
