SFII is lame, Fatal Fury hits Live Arcade
New technology seems to have rekindled old rivalries. No doubt burned by the success of Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting on Xbox Live Arcade, SNK is bringing Fatal Fury Special to the service as well. It's like arcades in the 1990s all over again. Who will win, Capcom or SNK? Maybe someday they'll put SNK characters and Capcom characters in the same game. That would be kuh-razy. Expect more information during the Tokyo Game Show next month. In the meantime, rest assured that there's one thing Street Fighter will never have, and that's Mai.[Thanks, Lorul2]
Microsoft toys with our Street Fighter II hopes
Late last night we were browsing through the Xbox 360 Dashboard, inevitably landing in Xbox Live Arcade. We pondered a game of Uno, but decided to check on new arrivals instead. To our surprise, we found Street Fighter II as the lone entry in the new to XBLA download category.What?! This can't be right! Surely the almighty Joystiq would have been the first to receive a press release, no? At the least, a flurry of tips should be flooding our inbox, right? How could this be? Street Fighter II released behind our back?Thankfully, our ego was not to remain damaged for long. Upon opening the Street Fighter II download item from the Marketplace menu, we were bombarded with a slew of low-cost gamer pictures and a dashboard theme, but no game. Touché, Microsoft ... you dirty tease.
