August 2nd Release For Street Fighter II

Gamasutra reports that Microsoft has announced Xbox Live Wednesdays, a soon-to-be weekly release of content to Xbox Live. They have a listing of the next few weeks worth of content, and happily Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting is slated for August 2nd. Frogger will be coming out tomorrow, July 12th, with Cloning Clyde due next week, Galaga the week after that, and Pac-Man expected on August 9th. From the article: "Xbox Live Arcade's Frogger has been enhanced for the Xbox 360, and features new, enhanced artwork that matches and complements the original style. In addition, according to Microsoft, the game's audio, including sound effects and music, has been modernized to sound crisp and clear on today's high performance sound systems." While these releases have mostly been seen as filler for the 360's very uneventful summer schedule, I can't complain too much about the chance to play Street Fighter II again. I'll be playing Chun Li; Who is your character?

    The Wii will be cheaper, you won't need a HDTV. Xbox fanboys, such as yourself, have been talking the system up as the greatest thing in gaming, EVAR! So, you paid $400 for the box, had to get an HDTV, all to play... Frogger? Now the Xbox fanboys and saying that rankings, etc are REALLY what make their GatesBox cool.

    You have to admit that when you bought your 360, you didn't think the best games would be "classics" did you?

    Boy, you are a fucking genus. Talk about missing the whole goddam point. So, you bought a 360 to play on a REGULAR tv? Let's see, after you are done whacking off to Oblivion, you check your ranking on Live for Geometry Wars, then go play Frogger, all the while waiting with baited breath for Halo 3.

    No suprise that a tool like Zonk owns an Xbox 360 I guess.

    Also, not a suprise that he plays as the scrubbiest character in the game.
