    Thank you to everyone who has sent inquiries and wished us well during this crisis. We want to reiterate that all of our employees in the Osaka and Toyko regions are safe and well, and we thank everyone for their support.

    In response to recent events, Capcom will immediately donate 100 million yen to help victims of the earthquake and communities recover from this tragedy.

    For one week from today, March 15, Street Fighter IV on iPhone will be available for 99cents/115yen, and all sales of the title during this period will be donated to support earthquake relief activities.

    Capcom will also suspend operations or shorten operating hours as necessary at amusement arcades and other business sites that are located in areas served by Tohoku Electric Power and Tokyo Electric Power. In addition, Capcom will refrain from holding special events.

    Again, thanks to everyone who has supported Japan during this difficult time, and please help to spread the news about relief efforts.

    Just an FYI, if i'm correct, thats about 885,000 Euros.
    Either way its pretty thoughtful, just a note to be taken by people here that claim capcom to be money hungry etc. They are a company after all that need to make money, in turn making more jobs etc etc
    Be happy they even made Street Fighter 4 and mostly, that they listened to their fans.

    Posted on my twitter and bought the game this afternoon. Not because of the drop down price, just because of the donation funds, fair play to Capcom on this, and I hope the money makes a difference in Japan.
