Now That’s A Lotta “Street Fighter”

Even though I totally suck at fighting games, I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for the Street Fighter series. Horrible live action movie aside, the franchise has produced enjoyable games, manga, anime and American comics for years and years, and now Capcom’s announced “Street Fighter Alpha Anthology”, a collection of all the Alpha series games on one freaking PS2 disc. No mention of price in the press release, but even if it’s released at the $40 price range, it’s probably more or less worth it for the sheer amount of game selection they’re including.
You win! The ultimate in arcade brawlers comes home as Capcom® today announced Street Fighter® Alpha Anthology for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, a monumental compilation of the entire Street Fighter® Alpha arcade series. The collection features direct arcade conversions of StreetFighter® Alpha, Street Fighter® Alpha 2, Street Fighter® Alpha 2 Gold and Street Fighter® Alpha 3 which have never before been available together in one package. As an added bonus, the “pint-sized†Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix® (also released on consoles as Pocket Fighter®), is included which brings the total to five action packed games on one disc. Street Fighter Alpha Anthology is scheduled for release throughout North America in summer 2006.

It’s amazing how well Street Fighter holds up. Street Fighter 3 is actually really, really good. It’s on the PS2 “Street Fighter Anniversary” compilation — you should check it out.
