Hadouken in 1080p

About 17 years ago the first iteration of Street Fighter 2 came out. Today, a new update to one of the most iconic games of all time is released in the form of Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo: HD Remix. This game maintains the original mechanics of Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo and enhances all the sprites with full 1080p HD images and sound. The original frames are maintained, so there isn't an improvement in animation. I've never been good at fighting games, especially Capcom fighters, but Street Fighter 2 definitely was one of THE games to play during the 16 bit generation. The game can be downloaded for the X-Box 360 (which I'm getting today!) or the Playstation 3. Apparently some of the moves have been tweaked, but many online reviews have stated that it still feels like the old Street Fighter 2 we've all grown to love - except it looks a whole lot prettier! Once I can get onto X-Box Live, I'm getting it! Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!

As usual, here's some video:

This is a highlight from EVO 2004, a fighting game tournament of some of the best 2D fighter players in the world, where this player comes from behind with some killer counters to win the match playing Street Fighter 3:
