Hands-on with Street Fighter II:HF for 360

Street Fighter II Hyper
Fighting on the Xbox 360's Live ArcadeWhile Western reporters got an earful of Capcom news at the Gamer's Day event held in Las Vegas the other day, the gathering also served as the first opportunity to try out Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting on the 360 as well.

So what's there to report so far? Here's what GameSpot had to say: "From the look of things, Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting is shaping up to be just what fans want. The visuals look promising, the control is basically solid, and the breakdown of achievements for it are good, too. The only stumbling block we've noticed has been the game's performance, which we expect to be improved."

If Quarter Matches reproduce the live spectator vibe of old, then Street Fighter just might prove to be as potent on Live as it was back in the day, though in a different kind of Arcade (and, perhaps, a very different kind of age). Even if the download doesn't arrive in late February as rumored, there will surely be many hours whiled away by fighting fans in March once they get to spend some quality time with kindly Ken and Ryu online. Here's to the future, which appears to be a promising update of the past.
