Capcom is currently offering any gamers that are in the San Francisco area on Friday, January 25th to test out some new game they’re working on. They’re keeping the game that will be tested a secret, but let me take a friggin’ guess. If you live in the area (or plan to voyage there by next week), Capcom has posted some information here and an email address for you to send your application.

I would love to get a peek myself, but I know that I’m not worthy. I don’t play nearly as much–not just for my own enjoyment–but also enough to fully have the understanding of the game’s mechanics to offer suitable feedback. It’s refreshing to know that Capcom is ready to test the game with hardcore players and their special brand of punishment. The whole reason why there were like, five versions of Street Fighter II is because the competitive crowd would push each one to it’s limits, exposing issues that Capcom would then have to address for the next version. Considering how expensive that method can be, I would have a lot of respect for them if they learned from that lesson and did as much testing as possible before releasing a final, complete product.
