GotGame: In looking into Game Design from the past, it is interesting to examine a common component of two of the most popular games in history. This would be the presence of common stereotypes that were showcased and how they helped make them the huge successes that they are today. The two games that I will use to example are Punch Out and Street Fighter II. Both of these games are fighting where there is a colorful cast of characters from around the world with each contestant having an quirky back story and style to match, except for Mac at least. He is pretty bland.
Street Fighter documentary 'Here Comes a New Challenger' is now available for all, following a successful crowd funding campaign.
Celebrating its anniversary today, Street Fighter at 35 years old is just as important today as it was back in 1987.
Street Fighters older than me. I still have some memories of playing Street Fighter on arcade machines up until the early 2000s.
The PlayStation Brahs:
"The Street Fighter 35th anniversary is nearly upon us, as Capcom looks to celebrate the fighting series that changed the genre completely. It appears they’re looking to give back to the fans who helped make it such a success over all these years. Starting today You can download Capcom Arcade Stadium: Street Fighter II for free!"
I remember when Street Fighter 15th anniversary collection on original xbox was the very first ever online street fighter games. Those were good memories
I dunno...can't decide between the worst stereotype - Great Tiger or Dhalsim, lol.
