Street Fighter 2 HD Remix Smashes Online Sales Records

[lost]

Hopefully this will mean a nice HD remix for SF3! You've all bought the new hi-def version of the classic fighting game and pushed it past the previous record.

Capcom has announced that Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix has sold over 250,000 units year to date, breaking both day one and week one sales records and will likely go on to break the 30 days sales record as well. Capcom also states the game is on its way to becoming the largest grossing digital title ever.

"It would be idiotic and quite frankly, irresponsible to attribute the success of this game to just one person," commented Capcom. "That's like saying Boxer has better kicks than Chun-Li, it just ain't true. We'd like to thank everyone who poured their heart and soul to reviving one of gaming's most beloved franchises. From the producer, Rey Jimenez, to the folks from Backbone and Udon, to the product development, business development and marketing teams at Capcom, HD Remix was a labour of love for everyone involved."

I hope so. Third Strike HD would make me jizz in my pants. I suppose I'll have plenty of SF4 to keep me occupied in the meantime.

I don't see how it did this considering the ridiculous 1200 point price, and the fact that its just a slightly prettier version of a game that's already been on Arcade for years at 800 points. People are just suckers I guess.

Slightly prettier? They reworked most of the moves and rebalanced almost all the fighters. Likewise, the size of the sprites are something like 6x as big as they were previously.

I think that $20 is a steal for the amount of effort they put into this game.

Maybe, but its still the same old game. *ducls and runs*

The very shady restrictions of the trial game put me off. No single-player trial? Nonsense.

...Third Strike HD. Ooohhmmzzz

It's an even better deal.. unless I am losing my mind? 1200 ms points = $15.00 ?
