Linux-based OS. The little dude will be hitting European shelves sometime in Might for €279 (or about $440).

Capcom has unveiled a new Street Fighter 4 character named El Fuerte. In the video, you’ll see him take on Zangief in a fight for the finish. Continue reading to watch. Click here for first picture in gallery.
