Germany — 

Back in the times of the first Street and Virtua Fighters the beat ‘em up genre was immensely popular, but the last one-and-a-half decades showed a constant decline of the expiring star of videogames. Even though plenty of new game genres forced their way onto the market and into the homes of players, fighting games are partly responsible for their fall. In the end, they simply became too complicated and time-consuming for beginners. more...

That Street Fighter IV already runs fabulously on home consoles could be test-played at Germany's GC08 already. But when SFIV would hit western shores had been announced nowhere yet.

(Some would even go this far to blame Virtua Fighter for all the allegedly inaccessible complexity that some fighting games have come to.) more...

Germany — 

For over three years David Sirlin, currently lead designer and balancer of Street Fighter HD Remix for the Xbox 360, had been working on Yomi, a card game based on the ability to mind-read the opponent (Japanese: yomi).
