Street Fighter II hits Xbox 360!
Downloadable "Hyper Fighting" version of arcade fighter arrives on Xbox Live Marketplace for $10.
Few Xbox Live Arcade games have been anticipated as much as Capcom's Street Fighter II' Hyper Fighting. That might have something to do with the game being an Xbox 360 conversion of a cherished arcade classic, or it might have something to do with the game being delayed. The wait for Ryu and co. ended early this morning, as Hyper Fighting finally hit the Xbox Live Marketplace with a price tag of 800 Marketplace points ($10).
The game's release is the fourth in Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade Wednesdays program. Last month, in response to complaints about the trickle of new releases on the service in recent months, Microsoft introduced the program and announced prices and release dates for a slate of games to be released on successive Wednesdays. The program has already seen the releases of Frogger, Cloning Clyde, Galaga, and now Street Fighter II' Hyper Fighting. Next Wednesday will see the release of the final announced game of the program, Pac-Man.
Check back soon for the full review of Street Fighter II' Hyper Fighting. In the meantime, check out GameSpot's previous coverage of the game.
