Wow, Capcom is going to release "Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix" this fall for the PSN (and XBLA) WITH online play!

Report about it. (http://www.joystiq.com/2007/04/13/super-street-fighter-ii-turbo-hd-remix-for-xbla-announced/)

"With 13 years of competitive play under its belt and counting, Super Street Fighter II Turbo is widely considered to be 2-D fighting perfected. A high octane, extremely offense-minded fighter, how is it that Capcom plans to improve upon perfection? By bringing in the comic masterminds at UDON to redraw the entire game, pixel-for-pixel.

Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix (wow again) for Xbox Live Arcade and PSN mirrors the same tactic Capcom utilized with their Hyper Fighting release - the goods you remember, only with online play. This time, however, Capcom is taking care of business in-house and utilizing the insight that 13 years of worldwide, top-tier competition has brought to the game.

While SSF2T HD is a pixel-for-pixel recreation of the game, they aren't ruling out making slight changes to the game. It will be lost on the average player, but when the faithful get a load of the slight but sexy frame tweaks, they'll freak out. And they will love it.

Capcom didn't have anything to show on the project, but they did say that the entirety of the game is being redrawn, from the character select, all the way through to backgrounds and endings. While it would be heaven in a download if they could also work in the original SSF2T, it is something they are currently considering. Capcom is aiming for a release this Fall.

[Update - If you were interested in seeing just how super this remix is, the folks at GameKult snapped a picture of the presentation slide during the announcement. Capcom to Sammy: "In yo face!""

That's amazing. I guess they really wanted to close the book on people complaining about the low-res sprites all these years.

And UDON doing it, that's crazy.

Looking forward to this one.

Edit:
AND PUZZLE FIGHTER, HOLY SHIT.

That's good.
I'm MUCH better at these two games.

Glad I can keep my Live account in deep slumber. I was hoping it'd come to PSN as well.

Well, I guess that explains what Udon has been up to since their comic output has slowed to a trickle. Looks interesting so far, and I'm definitely picking up the Puzzle Fighter remake.

I just hope this announcement is just the first of the network games that start showing up on multiple systems and we'll see more- more often. It'd be CRAZY (and not very likely...) that you could play anyone regardless of what they owned.
