Asia gets Street Fighter X Tekken 'Bubble Budds' bundle

Capcom's 2D fighting game Street Fighter X Tekken is well on its way on March 6. While the rest of the world will receive a special set of bundles, Sony Computer Entertainment Hong Kong has announced a rather unique offering for Asia.

Apart from the PlayStation 3 version of the title, the special edition will contain a set of Bubble Budd toys modeled after Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono and Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada. The bundle will also contain the game's soundtrack in CD form, a set of cards containing the move sets of each character in the game, and a special code that unlocks 39 exclusive gems for use in the game.

Sony HK also announced two other bundles. The Street Fighter X Tekken Joypad bundle comes with the Mad Catz Street Fighter X Tekken Arcade Fight Pad SD, the PS3 copy of the game, and a code for the Asia Original Pack gem set, which contains nine exclusive in-game gems. The Street Fighter X Tekken Joystick bundle contains the Mad Catz Street Fighter X Tekken Arcade FightStick Pro, the PS3 copy of the game, and a code for the Launch Attack Pack gem set.

Street Fighter X Tekken was unveiled last year at Comic-Con by Ono and Harada. The game features a fighting system involving tags and cross assaults, and it contains Tekken fighters reworked in a 2D engine. Namco Bandai is also working on Tekken X Street Fighter, but there haven't been any significant updates since 2010. A PlayStation Vita version of Street Fighter X Tekken is in the works as well.
