Review Street Fighter II': Champion Edition (Virtual Console / TurboGrafx-16)
A very solid, albeit unknown port of the Capcom arcade fighter.
After seeing releases on both the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis consoles, Capcom figured they could capitalize one more time with a release on NEC's PC Engine system in Japan. While the game was considered a very faithful port of the arcade hit, waning sales and licensing issues kept...

Weirdness Two Fish Duke it Out in Street Fighter II
Get PETA on the line!
Not so long ago we shared the humorous and slightly goofy spectacle of a Fish playing Pokémon, in which its often lazy swims around its tank would be converted into D-pad and button inputs. Like any Twitch phenomenon there'll be others that use that original as a source of inspiration, and we reckon this particular spin-off is...

As we've seen with Nintendo in recent years, plenty of major publishers are celebrating major anniversaries that go back to the 8 and 16-bit eras. Capcom is included in this, and has celebrated Mega Man by releasing a load of merchandise and by being upstaged by Keiji Inafune — the latter clearly wasn't part of any...

Nintendo Download Blobs, Fighters, Sumo, Magic, Pets, Starships and One Last Notebook (EU)
Finally more than one game for Virtual Console again.
This week's releases aren't too surprising, with many games that have been out in North America for some time. One game, however, that might be noteworthy, can be found on DSiWare. For Virtual Console, there's A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia, the game that inspired a recent, rather good...

It's like a complete reversal - WiiWare only gets one new game this week, while DSiWare gets three.
Nintendo would like you to think that they're releasing a whopping 6 WiiWare games today, but the truth is there's only one - The remaining five are all demos of other games, allowing those unsure of their purchase to check them out before spending...
About The Game
This is the classic PCEngine (TurboGrafx16) version of the two-player fighting game that started it all.
At the time, a large capacity HuCARD was used to allow faithful recreation of the dynamic arcade game and its features, including bonus stages and sound effects. In the game, players select one of 12 characters and face opponents in a no-holds-barred battle to decide the top fighter. Master a character's special moves and combos to defeat your rivals around the world. In "V.S. BATTLE" mode, there's a convenient handicap feature. Using this feature to adjust a character's performance, a novice player can be evenly matched against a seasoned player to enjoy an intense, head-to-head combat experience.

Could someone please tell me why anyone would want this game, what with so many other better versions already available?
Because Street Fighter nuts are will to pay hundreds on the franchise. I mean take a look at those Street Fighter 4 arcade sticks at £150...
@Ratengo: It's gonna confuse so many people if they don't change those names for the VC release
This one has pretty good digitized voices for a PC Engine game.
Also, we ve got ourselves a candidate for the next Hanabi Festival.
I really wanted this game to come out on the Virtual Console, but never thought it would this quick!
This does not look like a bad port of SF 2 at all Also you can get it for a bargain of 700 points
Woah hold on a second! There was a SF2CE on the TGFX16?! o_O
I'm guessing a release for November 23, 2009, in which it will pass the 3rd anniversary of the launch of the Wii in North America.
@Rapadash6: I'm one of them.

Apparently this is supposed to be coming this month.
I still can't believe they're actually releasing this game on Virtual Console when it offers next to nothing that the numerous versions already on VC don't already offer,
Has anyone noticed the PCE/TG16 is the only console that ever got both Street Fighter 1 AND 2. Pretty interesting considering it was the least popular of the 16-bit era machines. It's just too bad they never released this version outside of Japan. Talk about about a dumb move. Imagine how much better the TG16 would have done if it had gotten SF II and Rondo of Blood..
For EU peeps this version will be the only 60HZ version though, I guess. Having said that, you can edit the Speed in the SNES version anyway.
This one looks nice, sounds bad - I recently bought the Wii fighting stick so might get it, cant beat the Saturn version though.
you cant beat a good old street fighter game
I hate they repeat the games. TG16 version has any extra? I see it´s the same. When will we get the SSFIITurbo? I want the remix version for wiiware.
HD Remix won't come to the Wii. Super Turbo will come when Capcom have released several arcade games already or when the VC supports the 3DO.
I'm hoping the trend will continue. It's kinda cool to see all the different versions of Street Fighter. If it continues hopefully the Arcade originals will get released which is what I'm really after. As I keep my PS2 around just for Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo / Anniversary Edition and Alpha Generations.
I'd be really happy if they ended up on Wii in some way shape or form.
Then I could pack my PS2 away =P
The mega drive version has 64 colors at once on screen,snes has 256 and the TG16 has 510 colors...............
But, why?
Redundant...
Waddya know. I was right all along, this game came out in November. Now please stop with SFII Capcom.
@ jaguarman: There's no way in hell that's there 510 colors on the screen in this version. It looks nearly identical to the SNES and Genesis versions.
Yes i know, but that is truth....is very weird......
I want proof. I think the reality here is the TG16 is CAPABLE of displaying up to 510 colors on the screen at once, but in reality, this game has under a 100 colors on the screen at any given time. I was looking at screen shots trying to count how many colors were in each shot and I never even came close to 510 in any of them. It's just not true man.
Yes i know vio ,you have right,but do you know the rules from companies?...... is called promotion(the NEC told in a gaming press about three times more colors from mega drive version) this method is more powerfuel than the game actualy is.
