Street Fighter II Coming To Live Arcade This Month.

[Stewart]

'After plenty of rumors regarding the release date of Street Fighter 2 and that Free Texas Hold'em Poker game everybody has been talking about, it turns out both of these coveted XBLA titles will be released sometime during the month of May. In a recently released email from Microsoft's Xbox LIVE Marketing team, they said:

THEN CHECK OUT THIS MONTH'S XBOX LIVE ARCADE GAMES
Try your hand against the best at the Xbox Live table with Texas Hold 'Em Poker. Rated T
Throw out the rule book for Street Fighter® 2: Hyper Fighter. Rated T'

About time as well. This will outsell even the very hottest of hot cakes, and was supposed to be out Q1. Still, its the best beat 'em up of all time, so I'll forgive them the delay.

The names of the achievements are as follows: (No details on points or exactly what has to be done to get them yet)

* 12 World Warriors
* Perfection
* Bonus Bonanza
* World Champion
* Perfect World Champion
* Hyper World Champion
* 7 Stars
* I Got Next
* 10 Online Matches
* 50 Online Matches
* 10 Online Victories
* 30 Online Victories

At a guess (Can see details of some of them at the end of the video I've linked below):
12 World Warriors - This one is play a game with all 12 characters on single player. (Think its 5pts)
Perfection - Clock the game without losing a round says man on video.
Bonus Bonanza - Perfect the bonus stages for an achievement, best guess.
World Champion - On the video its mentioned there are achievements for getting in the top 100 and top 10 on the leaderboards. Guessing this is for top 100.
Perfect World Champion - And this is for getting in the top 10.
Hyper World Champion - Beat Single Player Arcade Mode Without Losing a Match. (25pts)
7 Stars - Complete the game on the highest difficulty setting, best guess.
I Got Next - Play a match online. (5pts)
10 \ 50 Online matches - Nice and simple.
10 \ 30 Online Victories - Same again.

Should have been out months ago. cant help thinking that it was being held back to add the the E3 announcements to try and drown out the sony onslaught.

More likely issues with the net code, making sure it runs nice online. The offline game was finished months ago when IGN and Gamespot had previews.

One comment - why the hell didn't they release the Anniversary collection game that is so popular in the arcades now? Fair enough keeping the original game but what about all the other characters from the later games etc
Just seems a bit silly in my opinion.
Stewart i'd love to see you play SF2 since you seem to be ranting about how good it is/ you are in 2/3 of your posts!
Put your money where your mouth is!
