Street Fighter

Street Fighter II, the second entry of the fighting game series developed by Capcom, is one of the more popular video games ever released, thanks to its excellent gameplay experience which has influenced pretty much all the other fighting games that came after it. The original Street Fighter II has received plenty of revisions over the years which included new playable fighters, new special moves, and new options which expand the gameplay experience considerably.

One of the less known Street Fighter II versions is Super Street Fighter II Turbo: Revival, which has been released a while back on Nintendo Gameboy Advanced. The portable version of Super Street Fighter II Turbo came with a few features that are not available in other versions, as well as a new control scheme and more.

Starting today those who have never played this version of Super Street Fighter II Turbo and those who want to play it again will be able to do so in a rather comfortable way, granted they have access to the Japanese Wii U eShop, as Super Street Fighter II Turbo: Revival has been released today in Japan. While there are no news on the game’s Western release we will definitely hear more about it soon, as the game has been rated by the Australian Classification Board last year.

Super Street Fighter II Turbo: Revival is not a port of the original Super Street Fighter II Turbo but an original portable version coming with some features that make the experience smoother on the old Nintendo handheld console such as an Easy Commands option and more. The game also features two different versions of Akuma, new artwork for the character selection, victory screen and character endings, different backgrounds for the Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Guile, Zangief, Balrog and M. Bison stages and more. Super Street Fighter II Turbo: Revival isn’t the best version of Super Street Fighter II Turbo by any means but it’s definitely an interesting game for long time fans of the series who want to experience a slightly different take of the experience.

Super Street Fighter II Turbo: Revival is now available for purchase on the Japanese Wii U eShop for the price of 702 yen. We will keep you updated on the matter as soon as more comes in on it so stay tuned for all the latest news.

This author has consistently praised the realistic portrayal of tennis in TopSpin 4. After more than a decade, we are thrilled to witness the release of TopSpin 2K25, which expands upon the success of its renowned predecessor. This gameplay video provides a comprehensive overview of the features discussed in our recent preview while also incorporating relevant footage to enhance understanding.

The series’ swing system sets it apart from arcade-style games like Virtua Tennis, as it requires players to charge up their shots in a different way. In order to succeed, timing is crucial, and fortunately, a new meter above your player will assist you in achieving that. Surfaces have their own distinct characteristics, such as clay, where you’ll experience a noticeable amount of sliding.

The game ensures that every player has a distinct set of animations, adding a touch of individuality to each competitor. The courts, found in all Grand Slams, possess a remarkable amount of individuality and charm. It is mentioned in the video that with each in-game season, players can expect a plethora of additional content, such as animation packs. This indicates that there will be plenty to anticipate even after the game’s initial release.
