Capcom Digital Day 08: Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix
Of all the arcade games that I played when I was younger, Street Fighter II has eaten more of my quarters than any other title I can think of. As we all know, Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix earned quite a bit of press over the last year or so, and being recreated with high definition so you can see every ripple and scar on Zangief's body - whether or not that's a bad thing is for you to decide.
A recent press release from Capcom impressed me with the sheer magnitude of improved features, like online play and widescreen modes. The full feature list includes:
- All new 1080p high-definition art for Street Fighter characters and backgrounds created by Udon Entertainment, creators of the Street Fighter comic books
- Features all 17 of the original Super Street Fighter® II Turbo characters including Ryu, Guile, M. Bison and Akuma
- New optional "Rebalanced" Mode: massive changes across the board to all Street Fighter characters as created and tested by some the world's top-ranked professional Street Fighter players
- One to two player head-to-head play either offline or online
- Single player vs. CPU
- Player vs. player over the same console
- Player vs. player online
- Training mode helps fighters hone their skills
- Improved network code for the best possible online fighting game experience
- Numerous online features:
- In-game voice chatting between players
- Matchmaking flexibility through multiple options
- Personal and friends statistics tracking
- Quarter Match Mode- this spectator-based system allows online competitors (2 competitors and up to 4 spectators) to use a "virtual quarter" to "buy into" heated two player matches
- Comprehensive worldwide rankings and leader boards by character - tracks overall wins and losses, number of throws, perfects, highest combos and more
- Widescreen support with option to select classic 4:3 mode for SF purists
- Choose from either classic Super Street Fighter II Turbo music or optional newly remixed tunes
- Option to play as the original Super Street Fighter II Turbo 2D sprites for traditionalists
The addition of a "rebalanced mode" makes me happy. I don't know if it is possible to nerf M. Bison enough to make him usable. Simply keeping your friends from breaking your fingers with a pair of pliers for choosing him could be a challenge. I will certainly applaud the effort! Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix is scheduled to be released this summer, price TBA.
