It was 1992 and print was still alive and well with most people relying on monthly magazines for their gaming info. As a result, a joke about a secret Street Fighter character called Sheng Long spread world wide. 25 years later, it’s time we poured one out for all those tortured souls who went looking for him in vain.
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
Greatest April fools joke of all time. When we were first introduced to photoshop. Good times
The absolute best. Everyone I knew was excited about this when they saw this.
The Sheng Long hoax is great, but EGM's Sonic and Tails in Melee joke takes the cake.
HA! I remember a couple of friends trying to unlock this guy! Truly the best gaming April Fools joke ever! Still have that issue of EGM! Really should take it out and have a look! Those old gaming mags are a trip to read through every now and again!
