This is the classic PCEngine (TurboGrafx16) version of the two-player fighting game that started it all.
At the time, a large capacity HuCARD was used to allow faithful recreation of the dynamic arcade game and its features, including bonus stages and sound effects. In the game, players select one of 12 characters and face opponents in a no-holds-barred battle to decide the top fighter. Master a character's special moves and combos to defeat your rivals around the world. In "V.S. BATTLE" mode, there's a convenient handicap feature. Using this feature to adjust a character's performance, a novice player can be evenly matched against a seasoned player to enjoy an intense, head-to-head combat experience.

Could someone please tell me why anyone would want this game, what with so many other better versions already available?

The four boss characters Balrog, Vega, Sagat and M. Bison...? The correct order is of course M. Bison, Balrog, Sagat and Vega as their names are in Japanese.

Because Street Fighter nuts are will to pay hundreds on the franchise. I mean take a look at those Street Fighter 4 arcade sticks at £150...

@Ratengo: It's gonna confuse so many people if they don't change those names for the VC release

@Drake: I can't imagine that any changes would be made for just the Western release of the PCE/TG-16 version, so we all must deal with the original names and I think it's great! The Japanese people are never wrong as Capcom USA was in earlier days.

This one has pretty good digitized voices for a PC Engine game.

I really wanted this game to come out on the Virtual Console, but never thought it would this quick!

This does not look like a bad port of SF 2 at all
Also you can get it for a bargain of 700 points

I'm guessing a release for November 23, 2009, in which it will pass the 3rd anniversary of the launch of the Wii in North America.

I still can't believe they're actually releasing this game on Virtual Console when it offers next to nothing that the numerous versions already on VC don't already offer,
Has anyone noticed the PCE/TG16 is the only console that ever got both Street Fighter 1 AND 2. Pretty interesting considering it was the least popular of the 16-bit era machines. It's just too bad they never released this version outside of Japan. Talk about about a dumb move. Imagine how much better the TG16 would have done if it had gotten SF II and Rondo of Blood..

For EU peeps this version will be the only 60HZ version though, I guess. Having said that, you can edit the Speed in the SNES version anyway.
This one looks nice, sounds bad - I recently bought the Wii fighting stick so might get it, cant beat the Saturn version though.

I hate they repeat the games. TG16 version has any extra? I see it´s the same. When will we get the SSFIITurbo? I want the remix version for wiiware.

HD Remix won't come to the Wii. Super Turbo will come when Capcom have released several arcade games already or when the VC supports the 3DO.

I'm hoping the trend will continue. It's kinda cool to see all the different versions of Street Fighter. If it continues hopefully the Arcade originals will get released which is what I'm really after. As I keep my PS2 around just for Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo / Anniversary Edition and Alpha Generations.
I'd be really happy if they ended up on Wii in some way shape or form.
Then I could pack my PS2 away =P

@ jaguarman: There's no way in hell that's there 510 colors on the screen in this version. It looks nearly identical to the SNES and Genesis versions.

Yes i know, but that is truth....is very weird......

I want proof.
I think the reality here is the TG16 is CAPABLE of displaying up to 510 colors on the screen at once, but in reality, this game has under a 100 colors on the screen at any given time. I was looking at screen shots trying to count how many colors were in each shot and I never even came close to 510 in any of them. It's just not true man.

Yes i know vio ,you have right,but do you know the rules from companies?...... is called promotion(the NEC told in a gaming press about three times more colors from mega drive version) this method is more powerfuel than the game actualy is.
