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?

E. Honda, as he reminds me of your mother.

Anyways, this is nice and all, but why not bring some RPG's into this? Frogger and Galaga get really old, really fast.... at least Street Fighter will keep me occupied for a bit...

That's just a down-right decent thing to do for those of us that enjoy some of the older games.

I'd say it was a down, down-forward, forward, quick punch sort of thing to do.

Thanks I'll be here all night!

Gee, it sure is a good thing that the downloadable Wii games are DRM-free!

HADOUKEN!

Anyone too lazy/uncoordinated to learn the moves?

I was just dumb and didn't realize they were scripted -- thought it was a random "bonus" for pressing alot of buttons.

So I'd either back off and mash the controller hoping for a "dookan" or that spinning kick, or get in close and try to pull off an uppercut.

you're right. frogger is the best game available on the 360, i got it just for frogger and i'll only play frogger. also i got an HDTV just for the 360 because the 360 doesn't work without an HDTV, in fact it made my regular TV explode.
 
i love sony/nintendo shills like you.

I hate to tell you this, but that move has been outsourced to India.
