UPDATE: After a short disappearance, Street Fighter IV has been re-released with a new update that includes character E. Honda.

You can purchase the game for £5.99/$9.99/€7.99.

Original story: Highly acclaimed brawler Street Fighter IVhas disappeared from the App Store. We've contacted publisher Capcom for details.

It's an unusual development for a game that has enjoyed much success - deservedly, at that. With colourful visuals, good controls, and deep combat mechanics, it's the definitive fighter for iPhone and iPod touch.

Recently, Capcom has kept Street Fighter IV fresh by updating the game with additional characters, including Cammy, Zangrief, Crimson Viper, and soon E. Honda.

It's possible that the latest of these updates incorporating E. Honda may have caused the problem.

Consider yourself fortunate if you've already downloaded a copy, as it's unknown when Street Fighter IV will reappear.

Thanks, Stephanos
