In the same MS CES presentation that Bill and his cronies announced the HD-DVD add-on for the Xbox360, Peter Moore himself also let it slip that the legendary Street Fighter II is going to be hitting the XBox Live Arcade within a few months. No word yet as to which version it wil be, or how much it will cost, but let's hope it is along the same lines as the other XBLA titles. As we have said many times, if MS keeps this up, the XBox Live portion of the 360 will play a huge part in helping the unit catch on with gamers.

i know its not the high-def street fighter sequal we have been wanting but its still good to see a high profile game being available for LIVE arcade.  i wonder how the low rez. sprites will look displayed at 720p

That's AWESOME news...

I love the Xbox Live Arcade, so much fun, here's hoping they have a fully functional demo of SF2, even if they don't the typical $5-$10 price is fine by me  

Now if we could get some classic Midway fighter action on XBLA...  

or maybe one of the old Killer Instinct Arcades

now that would be cool!!! im also hopeing that SNK will join in the fun and release some of the KOF games
id be happy to pay £10 per game if they did

[twistedsymphony]

oh man ANY of the classic SNK titles... Ima have to bust out the NeoGeo tonight  

I like classic game collections as much as the next guy but I get tickled pink when I think about being able to download them a-la-carte  

[LowProfileWurm]

H-A-W-T!

I can't wait for this.  Honestly, I didn't like SF3 very much so I hope it's SF2 Turbo that makes the cut.  I could also go for some SFA but I couldn't tell you which one would be the best.  I wonder if they'll trump up the sprites a bit for 720p... Oh man oh man.  Gimme some Live MP too!!  I'd pay the 400 MS points for that.  That's only 20 quarters; a small amount compared to what I paid in the arcades.

I'm still hoping for a vector based version of SF2 (or even SF4 I suppose).

i dont play any games off of the LIVE arcade (except the geometry wars demo) but arent some games online playable?  it would be really cool to have an old school online street fighter.

I got Bankshot Billiards with my Live Starter Pack for "free".  It has online MP but noone really plays it.  I usually just ask my brother to pop on to play me.  

Geometry Wars is amazing and totally worth the $5.  Too bad you can't get MP on it.  A second player would help ALOT!

I think I might splurge on Outpost Kaloki as it's kinda fun in a mindless Sim kinda way.  Anyway, XBLA is my favorite part of the 360, and to answer your question, yes, some of the games are online MP.

[twistedsymphony]

Smash TV is MP too... that's true classic arcade brought back to life with online MP

I got the impression that it was the original Street Fighter 2...but hopefully leads to:
Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo
Street Fighter Alpha 3
Street Fighter 3 Third Strike
(any other of the above mentioned games)

...and Ultimately Street Fighter 4!

BTW...I can't wait to kick all your asses in the above games

I hope it is sf2 World Warrior
Then maybe do add ons for the others so u pay like 400 m$
Then smaller amounts of credits to build up the other sf2 versions

I wonder if the moves to reset the arcade machine will be left in to reset the 360 lol

[mgamer20o0]

i would get it.

Depending on the version I will probably bite.  Hopefully they can get SF3 or even SFA3 on there....

Playing the MAME version of Alpha 3 is sweet....haven't found SF3 yet though.

Oh yeah btw.. you can also play SFalpha 3 Arcade via a kaillera network supported client. I use to versus people all the time, pretty fun. www.kaillera.com just a heads up...  

[KAGE360]

the one thing im really curious about is with the sprites being so low rez, wouldnt upscaling the game to such a high-rez make the characters look like poop?
