An enterprising young hacker has connected the Kinect to a keyboard controlled Street Fighter game, thereby allowing him to throw real punches at Dhalsim. → Read More
You’ll find no one here who’s not down for a round or two (or 10) of Street Fighter. No one! In fact, I’m half-convinced that that’s Greg under that helmet. → Read More
A truly delightful tale about a parent playing against his six-year-old son in Street Fighter IV. A great father-son bonding moment, the father recoils in horror as he finds out, “Wait a minute, I’m losing to my six-year-old here. Oh, God, what have I done?” → Read More
http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?umid=324932 Do you want to waste 6:14 of your boring Saturday. Watch this Steet Fighter mashup of massive Ryu combos. Ever seen a 50 hit combo that lasts 15? There are a couple in the video. You really should watch it. → Read More
Sure, that Street Fighter IV-branded Visa pre-paid debit card looks cool—hey, it’s Ryu v. Ken!—but you’d better look at the fine print lest The Powers That Be nickel-and-dime you. In short, there’s a hell of a lot of fees associated with the card that you ought to know about. → Read More
The real movie based on Capcom’s never ending video game series Street Fighter (scheduled for release in the US February 27, 2009) gets another Japanese trailer that features several new scenes from the movie (video after the jump). → Read More
Wrap your head around this one: you can play Street Fighter on YouTube. Some hard-working guy named Patrick Boivin put together a series of stop-motion Street Fighter action sequences uploaded as separate videos, all triggered by clicking various attack button hyperlinks. It’s hard to explain but it makes sense once you start playing. → Read More
Major Nelson, the official mouthpiece of all things Xbox, has some numbers about the New Xbox Experience that might interest, like, 11 of you. There’s a tremendous amount of spin (“If LIVE were a U.S. city, it would be the largest city with over 14-million members. The equivalent of New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago combined.” Only it’s not a city, so…) being done to the… → Read More
The game Super Street Fighter II Turbo: HD Remix is now available on Xbox Live Arcade (and PSN) for 1,200 Microsoft points. I bought it this morning and promptly realized two things: one, it’s tremendous and two, I’m rubbish at Street Fighter nowadays. I played about halfway through Arcade mode before finally giving up—like I said, rubbish—but that was enough to ensure that… → Read More

Both Banjo-Kazooie and Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix come out for… → Read More
GameDaily Biz recently interviewed Patrick Aiello and the producer of the upcoming film, Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li had some divulged a rough launch date for the Capcom title. Capcom is releasing Street Fighter IV in 2009, which is the 20th anniversary of the game. The film and game release dates will coincide, but I’m not certain how much of the game will coincide with the story… → Read More
I still play Street Fighter II Turbo on the SNES primarily with my friends if I play any fighting game at all, so seeing this insane trailer is kind of a shock for me. I love the art style and while I’m sure I would suck pretty bad at it, the gameplay looks pretty good. It’s awfully hard to judge without playing it oneself, but you can usually tell if something truly sucks just from… → Read More
Bad news, sports fans. Ken and Ryu, metaphors for the fighting game genre, will not be in the upcoming Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li movie. (This is the first I’ve heard about the movie, by the way—people still put faith in game-to-movie adaptations?) The movie’s producer says he wants to focus on developing the Chun-Li storyline as thoroughly as possible, which… → Read More
Like the new Hulk movie, the new Street Fighter movie is attempting to revitalize a pop culture franchise tainted in the movie industry by a less-than-stellar debut. I really doubt a movie based on a fighter can rise that much above the rest, but if it’s even nearly as awesome as Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, I’ll be satisfied. Check out the lineup: Kristin Kreuk plays Chun Li. She… → Read More
I’ll be honest; the last time I played Street Fighter was on the SNES, so I’m admittedly out of touch with what’s what as far as world warriors go. That being said, a new Street Fighter IV character’s been spotted in Famitsu magazine. His name is El Fuerte, which is Spanish for “The Fuerte,” if memory serves. Breaking: New Street Fighter IV Character Leaked! → Read More

http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/cne_flash/production/media_player/proteus/gs/proteus_embed.swf Yes, it’s true. There’s going to be a new Street Fighter arcade game. If you’re still into arcade games and still know where to find an arcade, you might very well love this game. I recently went to a Dave and Buster’s in Providence, Rhode Island and man oh man, do those… → Read More

The fourth iteration of Street Fighter is coming, according to 1up.com. It’ll likely be released for PS3, Xbox 360, and in the arcades (if you remember what those are). More details will be in the January issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly but what’s known know is that "the game’s graphics are polygonal but the gameplay is strictly 2D. There will be new moves… → Read More
It’s no secret that when it comes to video games, the fighting genre is my favorite. Of those games, I’m afraid Street Fighter is still my favorite, with Soul Calibur just behind it. Being that Capcom is celebrating the series’ 20th anniversary this year, it’s releasing umpteen different versions on every device imaginable to squeeze more money out of us. (It’s OK… → Read More
Now, friends, we’re playing with power. Who here remembers this old school Nintendo commercial, complete with R.O.B. and the real light gun, not this Zapper nonsense? I don’t, per se, because I was about 2-yeard-old at the time, but the point remains: video game commercials used to be so cheesily magnificent it’s a shame what they’ve become. Shall we? → Read More
The MAME guys cracked Capcom’s CPS III encryption about a week ago and have made a startling amount of progress since then. (In fact, I just grabbed a bunch of CPS III dumps from Usenet in preparation for the moment when a Mac OS X port is released.) CPS III was the hardware that all 600 versions of Street Fighter III ran on but wasn’t compatible with the MAME emulator until last week. → Read More
