First off, I want to say that my PlayStation pals are the best around. Nothing’s gonna ever bring you down. I mean that, I really do. Lol.
Joe Esposito once eloquently proclaimed that “History repeats itself” and it’s an honor for me to announce that Street Fighter returns today on the PlayStation Network. On a personal note, it’s been a dream of mine to work on this franchise. I remember going to the local 7-11 and spending hours trying to pull off an invisible throw or handcuff glitch. I remember sharing theories with my friends that it was possible to throw that rock in the Chun-Li stage, pull out Guile’s gun, control Ryu’s red fireballs or defeat the mysterious Sheng Long. Street Fighter was a cultural phenomenon not seen since the days of Pac Man. Here we are, almost 20 years later, and this franchise is as relevant as ever.
Here’s the final HD Remix video for your viewing pleasure.
Enough of my reminiscing. I’m here to talk about the next installment of the SF2 series; Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix Special Champion Hyper Alpha EX Versus Zero Plus Collection Edition (am I missing anything?). Ah Capcom, we love long game titles. I can go on and on about the many features of this game, but instead, I’ll provide you this link that contains all you need to know about HD Remix.
I’m also really excited to give you an exclusive soundtrack inspired by the Street Fighter series. The Street Fighter Underground Remix soundtrack contains tracks from artists that I admire with that underground, hip hop flavor. Did I mention that you can download these tracks for free on the PlayStation Network? I have fond memories battling my frat bros on the SNES and listening to Souls of Mischief’s “93 til Infinity”. You know Hieroglyphics had to be on the album. You’ll also hear the musical stylings of Redman, Oh No, Mistah F.A.B, Zion I, DJ Toure and the turntable legend himself, DJ Qbert. Oh, did I mention these tracks were FREE? Go to our MySpace Music page to hear previews of the songs. Make sure you add us!
Anyway, I just want to say that it’s been a pleasure talking to all of you and answering your questions, and replying to your comments. It’s been fun responding to the trophy issue for like the umpteenth time! ;) We hear you, though.
Have a great turkey day and see you next time when I talk about Flock (coming in January). See you online!
Peace in the Middle East,

Hey Jeff, now would be the perfect time to start updating the store EVERY Tuesday, so as to remain competetive with another unnamed console…pass it on please!
John, thanks for the update. Will be downloading tonight. Nice to see a lot of people saying the PS3 version is better simply for the controller. Dualshock 3 wins again….
Oh yeah, and to those who haven’t heard yet, SOLDNER-X is (finally) coming to PSN Dec. 4th for $9.99.
Anyways, Home rules, KZ2 ftw, and dying to see that GOW3 footage. Peace!
$15 is too much without Trophies & custom sound tracks
jeff i want the pshome code all my friends online are having fun with it but i dont have the code plz send it to oldricksf@yahoo.com
silly question to whomever can answer..why doesnt the store always get updated on tuesday?..is there something against tuesdays xD
Great to see it’s released in the US, and pity it’s not out in EU yet, but we’re used to it thanks to the bozos as SCEE.
Oh, and on Trophies, it’s a shame that “priorities have shifted” on the BCR trophy patch only after everyone bought it. I guess we’ll expect the same for SFII.
It won’t stop me buying it but still disingenuous to give people expectation of trophies before the game is released then change tune after the game has sold. I hope my cynicism is proven unfounded.
I would purchase this…
…if PSN actually accepted my debit card.
I am so ready to bring back those old arcade memories!! Im sure alot tears will be shed today when this game goes live!! I havent played Fei Long in a very very long time!!! Cant wait.

well..no i changed my mind, depending on the file zie and if guy is in it i’ll get it..i gota save harddrive spce until i get my new one..im down to like under a gig..maybe barely over
Can’t wait to download this tonight. A big thanks for everyone at Capcom (and others who were involved) for making this happen. Trophies or not, this is awesome. I also love the fact you can use the older sprites and music (I’ll definitely be using the older tunes though just for the memories). Thanks again!
Hi, John Diamonon. I don’t know if somebody has asked you this question ever before, but I would like to know if:
“Does this game have trophies?”
Unfortunately, no.
