Yup, for its 10th anniversary SF2 gets another edition...
Hyper Street Fighter II: Anniversary Edition, for the PS2 (only). Its actually based on the Super Street Fighter II Turbo engine. The game will have all the characters from all the versions... that is to say, you choose the character and then which of the up to 5 versions (Street Fighter 2, SF2 Champion Edition, SF2 Turbo, Super SF2, or Super SF2 Turbo) of that character you want...
Cheap for them to make? Yes, since SSF2T was ported perfectly to the 3DO. But still, its kind of cool... as long as they don't charge full price for it. :)
Quote:E3 this past May brought one of Nintendo's strangest announcements, Pac-Man Vs.. The game is more or less a remake of the classic Pac-Man with a twist. The game is played on a GameCube and a GBA. One player takes control of Pac-Man on a GBA, while other players can use the GCN game pads to take control of the ghosts. The announcement confused many fans and had people wondering: has Nintendo lost it? This was their big announcement?
Regardless, the game was announced, and the next question was how they would sell the game. Would people pay $50.00 for a remake of a 15-year-old game? Would they pay $20? The answers came out today; they would pay nothing.
It was announced today that Pac-Man Vs. will be packaged three different ways to reach gamers.
The first bundle is that Pac-Man Vs. will be packaged with Namco's upcoming game Pac-Man World 2. The game will retail for only $19.99 and will be available this December.
The second offering will give Pac-Man Vs. to gamers who pre-order the game I-Ninja.
The final way to receive the game will be will be to simply buy the game R: Racing Evolution for the GameCube. Pac-Man Vs. will be included with every game, pre-ordered or not.
What seemed like an awkward announcement a few months ago, now appears to have become a fantastic marketing and sales tool for both Nintendo and Namco.
