    IGN's Chris Carle is writing a book chronicling the history of Street Fighter called, appropriately, "Street Fighter: The Complete History". It will be published by Chronicle Books in late March, 2010 and have 176 pages.

    You can pre-order the book from Amazon here.

    Here's the Amazon description of the book:
    Street Fighter took the video gaming world by storm in the mid-1980s; more than 127 million copies and hundreds of imitators later, the series continues to be one of the most beloved and successful video game franchises of all time.

    In this official history, legendary game developer Capcom opens its vault to tell the complete story of Street Fighter. Original text and interviews with the developers and animators present the franchise’s impact on gaming culture, while more than 200 pieces of artwork reveal the care that went into designing the button-mashing classic. Featuring a slick flexi cover, this collection will be indispensable to the millions of ardent fans worldwide.

    Think that's bad?

    Street fighter didn't take the world by storm in the 80's, Street fighter II did in the ninties. :)

    Regardless, IGN retrospectives tend to be good so I may purchase this.
