Having lived through the golden age of gaming in the 80s & 90s when the gap between home gaming and arcades was so massive it was beyond comprehension it’s sad that they will very soon be a thing of the past. Arcade machines were, still are, and always will be amazing.
I’m in UK, just downloaded it and it’s working fine. You need to let the system download the SOR4 update then go back into the game, click ‘Mr X Nightmare’ which takes you to the eshop to buy it. Used my gold points and with the discount it cost me £4!
Those open world segments are really suffering with frame rate issues and pop-up. I’m not usually bothered about that stuff but here it’s definitely noticeable. The environments also look incredibly sparse and unpopulated.
I remember scouring all my local Argos stores and having about 50 Wii consoles stacked up in my dining room. Think I made about 5 grand profit that December!
@SpringDivorce years and years is an overstatement, look back through gaming history and there’s literally no mention of the phrase prior to the Japanese Switch release of the Capcom games.
@impurekind he’s trying to get in with the cool kids from YouTube who use these stupid phrases…..it’s a side scrolling beat-em-up, no idea why he’s using these other nonsensical phrases that have seemingly popped up out of nowhere in the last couple of years.
‘Belt Scrolling’…….a term I loathe, only used over the last 2-3 years by youtubers and people who write for internet sites. It’s a scrolling beat-em-up. Stick your made-up genres in the bin along with drivel like ‘Metroidvania’
It’s a shambles in all honesty, the DLC is there on the Nintendo eshop server as people with review codes have been able to download it and play it. It’s just as if there’s a bad link on the eshop. Seriously, it’s going to be the best part of 2 weeks after the initial launch date before we get it.
@Tangerine it must be an eshop bug if the codes to reviewers work, meaning there’s nothing wrong with the game. It’s like there’s just a bad link when it comes to buying it, like it doesn’t exist on the eshop. But I stand by my SONY paying off DOTEMU theory, loads of people have got it on PS4 now instead of waiting for the Switch version.
@russell-marlow it’s disappointing, obviously nothing wrong with the code as reviewers and youtubers have all had review codes that play fine.
It’s just a glitch that won’t let people actually purchase it but why it’s taking so long to rectify is beyond me. Wonder if Sony slipped some money to DOTEMU to delay it for a week?!
@Damo ‘Poison is one of the most cack-handed representations of a transgender person in the history of video games - and that's really saying something’ Open your eyes man, look on the internet and you’ll find plenty of transgender people who look like poison. Your comment actually insults transgender people - can’t they look super attractive with great body’s?
@MsJubilee it was funny he pointed out those 2 particular examples in reply to my comment! He literally picked the worst 2 stereotypes. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with Dhalsim or Poison.
@jowe_gw there’s loads of people of colour and ethnicity in video games, always has been……and yes, the number of this type of article & LGBTQ articles are on the increase on this site.
@Damo why though? Games are about fantasy, escapism, detachment from reality. All the subjects in the article are pushed down people’s throats on a daily basis, we don’t need them in video games.
I thought we’d seen the last of this type of article after the cringeworthy ‘Metroid gave me a reason to exist’ nonsense.
Why bother having a comments section if people can only make comments that adhere to the authors limited view on the subject.
As a long time gamer, people of all races and genders have been represented for many years. Look at Street Fighter 2, Final Fights Poison is transgender etc etc.
Also, I don’t want to play as myself in a game, I want to be Fox McCloud, Ryu, Mario, A Special Forces soldier etc. I play games for fun and escapism.
Garbage game but I’m sure they pay a lot less to get the rights for crap games rather than stumping up more cash to make a physical release of something worthwhile
@ShaneReactions it’s not worth it, it’s just a reflection of the greed that exists in society and peoples need to express themselves through spending money.

@Joriss the first one from 1990 is beyond awesome, such a close vision of the original comic book.

Re: Two More Of Capcom's Legendary Street Fighters Join Fortnite

@h1ryu that is weird!
Re: Streets Of Rage 4 DLC Finally Available To Buy On Switch Following 10-Day Delay
@h1ryu yes it is, I’ve downloaded it and the discount was applied, £6.11 it should be with the discount.

Re: Soapbox: Indies Lead The Way But Nintendo Shows Progress Representing People Of Colour
@Damo ok, so you tell me how people should be represented in games? After that, give Capcom a call!
Re: Soapbox: Indies Lead The Way But Nintendo Shows Progress Representing People Of Colour
@Jmjfrank proud? Because it takes a video game to teach them that black people are ‘cool’
That comment is as patronising as it gets.

@Bentendo1609 go back and play C64 games that got Zzap Sizzlers back in the later 80s, they are terrible to play nowadays.
Re: The First Review For The Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Is Now In
It’s not aged that well though, went back to the Wii version at the weekend and the environments are so sparse.
Re: Tag Heuer Reveals Limited-Edition $2,150 Super Mario Watch
Incredibly tacky and doesn’t look like a high end watch.
A collaboration with Casio would’ve been better, maybe a Mario themed 5600 g-shock
