Fighting Games News Roundup
It’s been a little while since I’ve updated the world’s greatest fighting games blog, so I think that it’s only fair that we catch up on four of the biggest fighting game franchises that are set to see new versions in the next little while.
We heard that the Castlevania franchise would be making its way […]
Samurai Shodown Hits Wii Virtual Console
The Wii Virtual Console is home to a few great fighting games, even if the Nintendo Wii itself is terribly lacking in that department. If you’re tired of playing Street Fighter II over and over again, head on over to your Wii and buy some SNK-flavored swordplay in the form of Samurai Shodown.

What if Street Fighter II Bonus Round Was Real?
Check out this video produced by the guys at Mega64. They took the car-busting bonus round from the classic Street Fighter II and reproduced the stage in real-time. They manage to smash a few windows, but can they manage to get perfect? And when did the bonus stage ever allow for three characters?
Street Fighter IV Launch Date Announced
We saw leaked screenshots. We were treated to the first video coverage. We found out that the original eight were back and then we saw them in action. All this said, the biggest part missing from the Street Fighter IV picture was a launch date. And now we have that too.
Word has come out of […]

Nintendo and Capcom are cashing in our love for all things Street Fighter again. When we first caught wiff of Street Fighter II for the Nintendo Wii Virtual Console, we got excited that we could experience the classic fighting game all over again. Then they told […]
