Carl Williams writes, "Street Fighter II was the one game that sealed the success of the Super Nintendo in the early 90’s. Sega simply had nothing to compete with it other than pitiful attempts that are best not mentioned in the same breath. Capcom knew they had a gold mine on their hands based on the success of the arcade machine, there was very little reason to not believe this would carry over to the home version. It did, and it continues today with Street Fighter V being a console exclusive just like Street Fighter II was. Street Fighter II got around in the gaming world, it hit the SNES, Genesis, PC-Engine (Turbo Grafx-16 here in the states) and then in compilations on consoles after that. Including the Virtual Boy (unofficially), soon we will add the Atari 2600 as a platform to receive an, unofficial, port of Street Fighter II."
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.
