No offence, as I'm quite happy with the update. But taking an existing offering, updating it slightly for new technology, and re-releasing it seems to have been Capcom's modern plan since the launch of the Xbox 360. It also describes exactly what they did to drive Street Fighter into the ground.

I give them lots of credit for creating a modern re-release of a classic franchise, even if it is to draw up interest before a new iteration (ala Bionic Commando). Hopefully they will have learned their lesson about over-milking specific franchises, and will let this one stand for a while before another iteration. It has been what, 2 years since the SF2HCE release?

If they don't get greedy, this could be the start of a good trend. Might I suggest Strider for the next treatment?
