Street Fighter II...Again!

Now that Junker Woland’s been lolified, let’s turn our attention to something completely different.

I imagine most people missed Capcom’s big announcement a couple months ago that—being utterly bereft of any true 2D video game talent—they’ll be remaking Super Street Fighter II Turbo as a download-only title for Xbox Live and the Playstation Network. The only reason this registers as news is because the game’s being completely redrawn to run in 1080p hi-resolution.

Good ‘ol Ken Masters above—sporting monkey thumbs, insane musculature, and extremely starched clothing—is the first officially released image (with emphasis on “officially released”) of this new-old outing. So here’s the question: are you happy to see an old friend return or do you wish Capcom would stop raping the corpses of their past accomplishments and get on with creating a new 2D franchise?
