Take it to the Streets

Street Fighter: The Animated Series is coming to BluRay! This is of interest to Wing Commander fans because the set will include the first part of the USA Network 'Warrior King' crossover. The episode, unsurprisingly titled "The Warrior King", includes the short prelude sequence that shows the beginning of the story that stretches across the four shows (the others being Savage Dragon, Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm and Wing Commander Academy).

The new release will include a variety of extras including artwork, storyboards and commentary tracks from fighting game experts. The set is being put out by Diskotek, a boutique physical media publishing company that has been making a name for itself lately with high quality, feature-laden releases of esoteric properties. Maybe they could put out Wing Commander Academy someday! The set is due May 27th for an MSRP of $39.95.

Street Fighter: The Animated Series has previously been released on DVD and was available briefly on BluRay as an extra in the 2012 Street Fighter 25th Anniversary game released for the Xbox 360 and PS3. We'll compare the discs once this one is available and let you know if there's any improvement in picture quality on our episode! Amazon users can preorder this new version here.
