From the Gamespot article: "Ono explained that when Street Fighter IV was originally being developed, certain aspects of the game code weren't laid out in such a way as to support the features that are being added in Super Street Fighter IV. While Capcom had initially considered making SSFIV's content a download pack of some kind, it became clear that just tacking the new content onto the old game wasn't going to be possible."

Do you have a link to the Gamespot feature?

Also, a feature on Gamespot essentially answered all of my questions why they were doing a re-release.

All the iterations of the original Street Fighter II did so, and current hits like Guitar Hero and Rock Band are the same. No one is being forced to make a purchase. Though the domestic/console releases of the game are only eight months old, the original coin-op release occurred in Summer 2008, so this update is about on schedule for a typical Capcom fighter.
