Japan Gets Super Street Fighter II with Online Play on VC

Thats really cool. Though outside of Japan can't even get a VC game released so I doubt we will get on-line capability updates. u__u

Well good for Japan. Let us know when they plan on giving the rest of us something on VC. You know what would be better than nothing? ANYTHING!

That is SO bogus. I love playing newer fighters on Xbox Live but man, I'd love to play the old ones against devious human opponents.

Wow, it only took 5 years for Nintendo to add online to a VC title!!!

@Berzerker99

its nit nintendo its capcom.

I think this is a great sign of things to come. This is probably a test phase and they will unleash on the world on the Wii U.

this is how Nintendo could get me to rebuy a few titles on my Wii-U if they added online or they could be nice about it and let anyone who owns the original VC release to upgrade for free.

^Dude, I so hope you're right. Except for the upgrade for free, that's simply too good to be true. Though I wouldn't mind paying a few buck to get online with my games.

I do think we'll see a revival of the VC at some point, maybe when the Wii U gets released and Nintendo starts pushing digital downloads for that system. Nintendo's emphasis lately has been on the 3DS and getting that going.

nothing coming out in the west i`m sure is partly the 3rds fault too.
i would love to see a few more VC games get online multi player aswell, but i doubt that will ever happen.

well, this sucks

This is the only way to rise the VC sales, because if a person have a title already then that person doesn´t have interest to download it again, but if it has online or new features it will be downloaded again. I think Nintendo es a little dump because they don´t think these.

Poor T. Hawk, he made the cover of Nintendo Power but yet all people do is just pick on him.

If Nintendo did this with their future VC releases I would be certainly tempted to purchase them again.

Forget this game - why don't we get Street Fighter HD Remix? For just a few more dollars, Xbox and PS3 owners get the definitive version of Street Fighter II, while the Wii gets the Genesis version (not SNES, not to even mention the Arcade version).

Sorry for ranting, but this is a beautiful example of Nintendo not "getting it." I thought they were trying to do the 3rd party thing correctly?

freaking awesome... vc with online...

WHAT ?!?!?!

Of course. Japan. >:[

This makes me even more bitter about the state of the Wii VC

Wait, they're adding online to Virtual Console games? Well... what the heck, NOA?!

Well thats good... for Japan.

Good for Japan, test phase for the WiiU? Only time will tell...

Wow what the crap Nintendo. Bring this to America! It won't cost you anything. Do it!

Personally I would want like Super Mario Kart with online, Super Smash bros with online, MK64, Secret of Mana, Donkey Kong Country 1-3, Kirby Super Star, etc

Those voice clips...!

You know, even considering we probably won't get this anyway (at least for a while, if ever), would using the arcade version have been too much to ask? I mean, Capcom has been a decent supporter of the VCA (Well, as decent as one can get), wouldn't using the most superior version for this update make more sense?

Isn't the Genesis version considered the overall worst port?

I like the Mega Drive version of Street Fighter II: Special Champion Edition, including the music, but they really messed up the sound in The New Challengers! Here's how it should sound!

I doubt we would get online even if Genesis SSFII did come over here.

So we are getting it, along with Puyo Puyo? Cool.

This would be heaven if they released SF games on the 3DS VC. Will probably have to wait longer.

Boo-urns!

We need online multiplayer for 3DS virtual console! It would make games like Radar Mission so much more fun.

This is so cool! Retro game that had online play built in with XBand. Now you can still play it online cause of the VC.

This article needs to be updated with the confirmation that it's coming stateside. The amount of uninformed bitterness in these comments makes me scowl. More than usual.

I hope the links from capcom are accurate...It would be nice to see nintendo (and the third parties) would expand online multiplayer to alot of vc games...even though I don't do a lot of online multiplayer, having that option is definately a bonus

That's a great move. I hope this inspires developers to put a little more effort into their VC releases in the future. Many classic games on XBLA already have added content like online modes, so why not on Wii VC, which is the main platform on any system for classic titles at the moment.

why are Capcom bringing this Cruddy Megadrive Version to the VC when they can Bring the Arcade Version instead,the VC is going downhill fast.

It looks like it is coming to the U.S.

Better late than never. Hopefully this breathes some new life into Wii VC.

Too bad Super Street Fighter on the MD/Genesis is a steaming pile of crap. Worst sound ever.

Bah. Good thing I have SFIV3D. Of course, I'm less likely to get any good at it than the VC is to get an online multiplayer game.

Glad to hear online play for VC titles making progress, but could they have at least chosen a version of the game that doesn't suck? Why don't they just add it to the SNES version of SSF2 in a patch? Heck, even if we had to pay a couple bucks for a "DLC" that adds online play, it'd still be preferable to the pile of crap that is the Genesis port.

where have i been... this is news to me
