Group Manager of Xbox Live Arcade Greg Canessa was right when he said, "Street Fighter is one of the most recognized and successful game franchises in history." So if you're ready for some retro gaming, better get those 360's ready as the classic arcade game enters the next-generation.

Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting is Capcom's first title for the Xbox Live Arcade. Xbox 360 users can connect to the Xbox Live online game service and access the Xbox Live Arcade to download a free, feature-limited version of the game which offers only two playable characters for one match. The ultimate gaming experience will however let players unlock the full version where all eight original characters and four boss characters are playable, each with their own special endings and home levels.

Full features for Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting are:

  • Online game modes
    • "Quarter Match" – entirely new mode specifically created for Xbox Live Arcade
    • This spectator-based system is a tribute to the title's arcade roots, allowing online competitors to use a "virtual quarter" to "buy into" heated two player matches
    • "Quarters" are used to virtually represent players and pays homage to the arcade tradition of claiming the right to play the next game

  • Recapturing the spirit of swarming crowds at arcades, onlookers can watch the current brawl in a game lobby as they wait to battle the victor

  • Voice chat support allows players to discuss the battle and even trash talk the current fighters

  • Competitors can highlight each others' "quarters" to check out their gamer tag data or add them as friends

  • Before entering the game lobby, users can choose either the competitive or casual option which determines whether stats are tracked or not

  • Quick Match – jump into a match quickly for instant action

  • Optimatch – the best possible match is determined by sorting through a set of filters including number of rounds, turbo speed, chat on or off and friends only

  • Create Game – the most popular method for coordinating invite-only matches among friends which allows you to choose among several settings and host games

  • Offline game options
    • Arcade Mode – simulates the single-player Street Fighter experience where gamers must work their way through a ladder of opponents until they face off against the final boss
    • Vs. Mode – allows two friends to select characters and battle it out
    • Training Mode – lets gamers practice their fighting skills against a CPU character
    • CPU Battle – duke it out against a CPU opponent

  • Comprehensive leaderboards
    • Overall – the most coveted leaderboard showcases the best overall players from around the globe as determined by a simple point-based system
    • Monthly – uses the point-based system to designate the best players in the past 30 days
    • Best Character – rankings based on who is the best at using each game character
    • Consecutive Wins – tracks winning streaks to see who has won the most matches in a row

  • Achievements – complete more than 10 offline and online objectives

ok... street fighter hasnt looked any different since super nintendo so why the hell do they keep re-releasing it everywhere and showing the screen shots like if they are rare sneak peaks. if it wasnt for the title i would have thought this was an snes rom lol street fighter 2 needs to be retired and head on to maybe a street fighter 4 with new characters in 3d rendering so that campcom has something to compete agaisnt teken

im well aware that its for live arcade i can read you know. im just saying this game needs to be retired all it ever does is just port from place to plase still looking the same. and last i checked 2d fighters werent doing well they where ok but not as good as 3d fighters now. u can only go so far with these lackluster 16-bit sprites lol

pisses on sakura

Street Fighter 2 is far more enjoyable then the modern fighters... this game will be based on the arcade which had much better graphics and frame rate then the snes version(althought the snes version was far better then the genesis) this game keeps getting ported because it is a timeless classic. those of us with a modded xbox have been enjoying the arcade version in progressive scan for quite sometime but the online play will be INSANE!1 imgine beating your little brother online just like you used to sitting infront of the tv when you were kids
