Street Fighter Madness

Who doesn't know the world famous Street Fighter-Series by one of the leading Japanese international developer and publisher of video games, Capcom? A franchise that became so huge and popular, that even the most hardcore fans seem to lose track once in a while. With an amazing amount of games released for almost every console, see for yourself, and some more or less remarkable spin-offs, the series is definitely one of the best established fighting games, if not games alone, ever. But not only that. Comics (which are pretty awesome), movies and merchandise. There is basically everything Street Fighter out there. However, the first Street Fighter game I played was Street Fighter II Turbo - Hyper Fighting for the SNES. And believe it or not, this is still my favourite amongst the franchise... followed by the kick ass Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike - Fight for the Future. Oh yeah, good times~

So I was really excited with the announcement of Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix as downloadable arcade game for the PlayStation 3 (PS Store) and Xbox 360 (XBLA) , featuring new sprites and backgrounds in a HD-resolution of 1080p and a massive online ranking-system for gamers around the world. In addition, Street Fighter IV has been anounced by Capcom just recently on the Capcom Gamers' Day 07, leaving fans questioning if Capcom will make the jump from 2D to 3D and if it's a good idea or not. Speculation are going into the direction of a 3D-Cel-shade look... but only time will tell that. So, to make you hot for the upcoming Street Fighter games, here a few videos for you:
