Anyone with more than a little knowledge on game history (or terrible movie history) will have an instant feeling of excited nostalga when seeing “Street Fighter” and “new game” together. Lucky for all of us that experienced the game the first time round, we will not be dissapointed by the new rendition due to hit our vision holes in the coming months.

You can grab a big preview rundown over at gamespy, 1up, or a selection of other bits via Google news. To keep you in the general loop, this new version sees some amazingly creative updates to the graphics which allow for a full 3D experience without losing any of the originals colour, flare and style.

Things we are worried about:
online not working as well as it should
new characters feeling “thrown together”
old characters being missed out or badly presented

This we are looking forward to:
checking out the new characters
returns of our favourite fighters
great online fights (if it works)
plenty of unlockable content
some pure “old skool” fighting fun

The real question is, how do you feel about the new version? Will it do the original justice or will it be a bastard child like the *cough* movie adaption *cough*.
