LOL

GOD what a difference compared with today's graphics. I don't know if I could even play it anymore

i would have chose e-honda, but i think you all know why... i suck i fighting games

its sprite based graphics but still a very solid fighter... if you cant play a game because of its graphics, no matter how good the gameplay is, then i feel sorry for you...

Well, I did play these games way before, but now that the 360 is out and I am used to the next-genre graphics, I can't play the sprite typed games anymore. I think Kernal69er is like me too in this kind of case.

^^^^
Then I guess Xbox Live Arcade isn't for you guys.

I luv retro gaming and Street Fighter 2 is still my favorite game of all time.
It's up there with Tetris in terms or replayability.
Aside from Halo 2, there just aren't many modern games like it.

start feeling very very sorry for me

Mr Miggidy, as far as live arcade, I have not and never will have a live arcade game dl'd onto my 360 hdd. PM incoming...

Anyways, Im glad its offered so people can enjoy retro stuff like that, but its not for me

Been cool if they added more sprites and more details to them but just totally 2d flat looking though. But like more motion. However, I think this game is cool for an arcade. Just hope lots of people play it online I’m probably getting it depending on price. I know if its around Geometry War price that’s a to buy for me. Its like SNES but with online , Nintendo Revolution I think has that also but I guess 360 is 1 step ahead with capcom games. Yea but I guess it would have been nice if they cleaned the graphic a little more.

But i think it still looks grade for an arcade game. Now they should get mortal combat. Not the very first one but like the 3rd one. 1st one was good, 2nd one was good, 3rd one was better just becuase of graphic wise and how much more character you can choose.

There isn't nothing wrong with 2D if it's beautifully made or follows a solid visual design. You guys prefer modern 3D animated movies to older 2D ones? If it works for what you're trying to achieve, it works. People still play Streetfighter in arcades, I have friends who prefer them. In the case of SF on XBL, it's showing its design age more than any limit of 2D.

Wow...those guys were terrible...anyhow I can't wait to crush you guys at this

its an old arcade port and you guys are bitching about graphics?
any ways it looks awesome and is it me or does this run faster like turbo edition?

Yeah it could be the low frame rate of the video capture but it did seem a little faster.
Definately faster than the old school Street Fighter Champion Edition ever was.


Hey Def, I bet one look at my Sega Saturn sprite based Hentai game collection will change your perception of retro gaming

@$$

What about Marble Blast?!? Or maybe Roboblitz? Something's gotta pique your interest. Hell, I play more XBLA games then retail games. Not looking forward to SF2 anymore though. The digital pad just kills it for me. Maybe I'll get an arcade stick when they become wireless...

never liked any of that stuff, never will. you have the ability to check my gamercard and see what Ive played, you'll never see any of those in my list. I deleted hexic the day I got my 360, never tried it, it was a waste of hdd space imo.

anyone?

When they were picking their characters at the very beginning those stars at the bottom of the character select screen increase the speed of the game. From the video, it looked like they had their turbo settings on 4 or 5


And I don't know about you guys but I'm gonna play this game until my thumbs are soar

Ha dulkit Ha dulkit HAAAAAAA dulkit !!!!

I sure hope this game supports the doa stick by hori cause it gonna suck to try and play that game with the crappy digital pad the xbox 360 controller has.

Hahahaha....
That's a very funny sig
Oh I don't think "Uncle" should be capitalized.

Can't wait for this, bringing back the old school. I hope they bring Doctor Mario and tetris out, I spent lots of time playing Doc Mario on my XBOX 1.

^^^^
Dude, Dr. Mario and Mario are Nintedo properties.

I used to play street fighter all the time on PS1. That was along time ago though I do not think I could touch that again The only arcade games that I would play would have to be games like geometry wars.

I'll tell you what, when that game comes out I'll be doing my first 360 mod.

A Sega Saturn to Xbox 360 controller converter

I love 2D games, honestly they don't make enough of them anymore. Guilty Gear is Beautiful and if they ever brought UMK3 to the XBLA you'd have to pry the controller out of my cold dead hands to get me away from it.

i agree...3d is way over used...and it killed mortal kombat
while 3d could still be used in a 2d style like the new super mario brothers i dont see 2d side scrolling game making a come back on consoles...
for gods sake they have just killed metal slug by going 3d...its sad.

Woaw, I'd like to see how you're going to pull that off!
Right now my best option is to convert my Street Fighter arcade sticks to play on my X360.
(I'll be doing this some time next month)
But gaming on my 360 with a Sega Saturn pad? It's just as nice, if not even better!



I have to agree with you and Crobar,
some of the best gameplay experiences can still be found in 2D games, whether the games are sprite or polygon based. It really doesn't matter as long as the gameplay is in 2D.
If you disagree then try comparing any 3D fighter's gameplay with Street Fighter 2's classic gameplay.
The latest Mortal Kombat with Ultimate Mortal Kombat?
But it goes way beyond fighters!
How about the latest Castlevania for the Xbox with Castlevania S.O.T.N. for the PS1.
Neo Contra vs Contra III.
Shinobi what ever it's called for the PS2 vs Shinobi 3!

Those games don't even belong in the same sentence.
Man I miss the good old days when 2D games were at their peek!

What???

Xbox has a Live Arcade? Since when? LOL I know what you mean. I can download better ROMS for my PC than that

so when is snk gonna copycat? now thats what im waiting for!

nope, those stars are how much or how little damage your char's attacks do... in sf2 turbo for the snes (and id assume genesis) youd put in a code at the capcom screen and youd be able to add or subtract stars from the main menu (arcade, vs, options) which would increase or decrease the speed... sf2 is just crazy slow and id wager that this game is at least the speed of turbo...

If you make the Saturn Mod work pass it on...I modded a Street Fighter Arcade stick for use...but would glady swap for a Saturn pad...the greatest fighting game pad ever!

Twisted...teh word is that UMK is on the way...get choppin on that mod...we want our Saturn pads ready for day one...dont forget the headset support

I agree with a lot of this. I miss the 2D days... I've recently been playing a lot of GBA via emulator and it kicks ass. The colours are bright and nice, the gameplay might be "dulled down" but it doesn't have to mean simple (Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga is a good example of niceness). Bring it on, I'd love to see a Super Mario World type 2d platformer for the xbox, with all the enhanaced 2d goodness an xbox can provide.... why does it all have to be 3d now, why??? 2d != inferior (just different)

Hello . I'm with you on that one TS. I love 2d Fighters. I play Marvel vs Capcom series. All of the SF series. Mostly all of the NeoGeo fighters (KOF94-Neowave, World Heroes series, Fatalfury series, AOF). Mortal Kombat (1, 2 & 3). The 2.5D Fighters (2D fighters with 3D grafx) are Killer Instinct 1 & 2. Almost forgot Guilty Gear (the 1st 2).

Most of the ones i've mention I play Mostly on my Xbox (Thank you Emulators) with a Sega saturn arcade stick (Using the MagicBox converter of Course). They need to make one of these things for the X360.

I want to finish my Xbox 1 case swap before I dig into the controller mod, I also need to kick this aweful Oblivion addiction before I can get ANY work done

Anyway I already have all the parts I need I just need to design the circuit and then BUILD it.

Basically I'm using the innards of a busted Wireless controller a Saturn cable extender for the port and some (what I assume to be) fairly basic circuitry.

It works on the same premise as that NES controller conversion that popped up but the Saturn controller protocol is simple enough that I can convert it's natural cable output to a button map. Infact the protocol is SO simple that building your own Saturn Joystick from scratch is even easier then what I'm attempting
Here's a good rundown if you're interested in getting a head start on me: http://www.gamesx.com/controldata/saturn.htm

Honestly you get is working...let me know what parts I can send you and how much and I will sponsor you in making it

all i know is that when this game does come out i won't be doing anything for hours, days, maybe even weeks besides sitting in front of my 360 playing it. I remember the days of SF2 on my SNES. 2d fighters will forever be the best!

I just now got a chance to watch the video

you notice the break down of Achievements at the end

12 World Warriors - I assume beat the game with each character
Perfection - I assmue complete a match with a perfect victory
Bonus Bonanza - ? something to do with the bonus rounds where you smash a car or something
World Chamption - I assume complete single player arcade mode
7 Stars - ? no idea
Hyper World Champion - Complete single player arcade mode without losing a match
Perfect World Champion
I Got Next - ? no idea
10 Online Matches - self explanitory
50 Online Matches - self explanitory
10 Online victories - self explanitory
???? - he only showed 11 of the 12, but he said there was one for making it into the top 100 on the leaderboards so I assume this is it.

The 7 stars is the diffuculty if I recall SF used stars instead of just Normal/Hard/Very Hard.

right, 7 stars refers to the difficulty. i hope that means you only need to finish the game one time on 7 stars to get that achievment. i'd lose all my hair using every charachter.

i'm a little baffled by some of the posts on this thread. street fighter anniversary has been available for some time on xbox. am i the only person pissed off that it was never added to the backwards compatibility list? i own street fighter II versions on the genesis, snes, gba, 3DO, and xbox. i shouldn't have to buy it again on 360 when street fighter anniversary should be backwards compatible...but i will anyways. i think it will likely be 1600 points.

Perfect World Champion - win game without losing a round/being hit

I Got Next - compete in 'quarter mode' an arcade style setup they have on live where you can be a spectator and claim next like people that used to put thier quarters on the machine...

I am pissed as well, but I am such a big Street Fighter fan that I can look past it. I own more copies of Street Fighter then I care to count. I hope for BC on Anniversary Collection so I can get back on Third Strike...I hope that Hyper is only about 4-800pts and most of all I hope that there is still hope for Street Fighter 4.

BTW AC was an original SF2 not at all like Hyper or any or the original versions of the game. It was all the SF2s mashed up into one...

My ideal AC would have been...all the individual games...would that have been so hard?

as much as I'd really like to play this game on my 360, if it's so much as 1 point over 800 I wont be getting it.

Also what the hell is taking them so long, I know people who could port this game in their sleep, the video we watched shows what looks like a 100% working and complete game and the guy is like "it comes out soon, so within 3 to 5 months"... since when is that "soon"

"SF2 will be available late March" - Sometime in February
"SF2 will be out at the end of April" - Early April
"SF2 will be on marketplace later this month" - May 1st

Anyone else see a pattern? This has gone on for long enough that I don't care about it anymore. Initially I would have bought it, but the digital pad on the 360 sucks so bad that I probably won't buy it if its more than 400 points. I really don't know how you people are putting up with waiting. I would like to get my hands on some Roboblitz though...

Those achievements seem pretty week, but I guess most xbla games are.

...says the person with barely more then an Arcade Game's worth or points themselves

come back and tell me how weak they are after you're completed arcade mode without so much as getting hit by your enemy once, and earned a spot on the top 100 in the leaderboards.

Sorry there chief. Not much time for games with finals and projects to do and I just got my gold account recovered after a lot of hastle, but you gotta admit most of those are very easy. Top 100 is cool though, not that I would aim my sites on that. The game is fun, but I don't know how long I can stand listening to those age old sounds again. I hope there is an option to turn off background music.

.. and not to mention just had my 360 for about a month, starting new job, I lost all the points I got from Graw when I got my account recovered yesterday, so sorry Mr. cool gamer point dude with all the time in the world to play. I haven't bought any xbla games until the other day b/c I wanted to have them on my recovered account.

I'm not knocking you for having a low number of points, just saying that someone who's earned as few XBLA achievmens as you doesn't have a basis for comments on how easy XBLA achievments are to earn.

Man, you'd think they would update the graphics a little. Keep it sprite based but redo the models. Shouldn't take that long to touch everything up a little and make things a little more colorful.

Might as well make Street Fighter 4 in that respect. Re-drawing sprites is tough...you would have to re-draw every frame of every movement over again.

i think the game still looks great.

fingers crossed they do the aspect ratio correctly. it should nearly fill the screen at 16:9.

For those that are interested I've started a thread for the Saturn converter http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=509748

I did a few hours worth of research today and came up with a schmatic for the converter/ ordered the parts i don't have (mainly the demuxers).

Once the parts come in I'll be diving straight into it

Keep it up and let me know.

I think the only way I'll get this game is if they manage to sneak Sheng Long in the character select. You'll know what I'm talking about if you remember the infamous April Fool's issue of EGM from about 12 or so years ago. LOL

I kid; I'm not getting this game, but it is disappointing at how long it's taking MS to release it.
