Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix
What is it about Street Fighter games that requires they have long name?
Street Fighter II: The World Warrior, Street Fighter II: Champion Edition, Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers, Super Street Fighter II Turbo: The Ultimate Championship… Super Ultimate Crazy Mega Street Fighter Alpha III Part 4 Gamma: The Last Epicentre of Battle Destruction New Championship Fighting Classic Edition 3 Turbo.
So the latest one is, as the title states, Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix (which from now on, I’m going to call SSF2THDR).
Don’t let my sarcasm fool you.
I’m a huge fan of the Street Fighter series of games. I couldn’t tell you how many times I went through the Street Fighter II: Champion Edition back when I had the Sega Mega Drive. I knew most of the moves, for nearly all of the characters. I spent the weekends kicking my brother’s ass with Ken, Akuma, Dhalsim, Blanka, Chun Li.. it was hours of replay value. Back when games could be as simple as microwave lasagne but engross you for hours.
SSF2THDR is basically the Super Street Fighter II Turbo edition of old, remade, redrawn, revived, revamped for the PS3 and High Definition television.
Normally, I’d say “C’mon Capcom.. give us Street Fighter 4!”, but in this case, I have to admit, I’m extremely excited by this news and can’t wait to see SSF2THDR live in action. If only for the fact I’d love another opportunity to play it on the big screen, with quality graphics, seeing if I remember all the moves - all the while finding out if it could possibly hold my attention for extended periods like it used to.
Makes you wonder if we’ll see this as a trend now. All these old classics revamped for HD goodness like SSF2THDR. Hell, they do it with VHS to DVD - and now DVD to HD DVD.. why won’t we see it with games?
Impressive..

Oh soo cool! Please get it. I promise I won’t get too cranky when you kick my butt! It would be pretty cool if they revamped the old goodies.
I remember with my Sega Mega Drive we had Paperboy…remember that? and I had a game called Alex’s World or something like that and he was in Egypt that was cool! And Jurassic Park…I loved Jurassic Park. I always got so scared by the dinosaurs. Not to mention Sonic. But everyone had Sonic!
I really really want the old Super Nintendo!!! I just can’t find it anywhere!

Positive I’ll get it really
I may have to use your CC to purchase it online though.. haha! 
Alex Kidd was awesome too.. Think it was my Mega Drive (or maybe the Master System) that had one of them built in! Had Jurassic Park too.. cool game!
I was hoping the new Sonic on the PS3 would be good, but its had terrible reviews everywhere.. might get it if its ever cheap, but I’m not outlaying $100+ only to find the reviews were right!
