The Street Fighter series has been grabbing many headlines lately. Along with Capcom’s reveal of Street Fighter 6 and the upcoming Capcom Fighting Collection, there’s the rapidly approaching 35th anniversary of the franchise. Having debuted in 1987, it was actually 1991’s Street Fighter II – The World Warrior that is most fondly remembered.
Street Fighter II was the first one-on-one fighting game to give players a choice from a variety of player characters with different moves, allowing for more varied matches. Each player character has a unique fighting style and two or more special attacks. The single-player mode was a fantastically well balanced game for it’s time. However, it’s the fact that a second player can join anytime for competitive matches that really made Street Fighter II a landmark game.
Over the decades since Street Fighter II originally launched the game has seen numerous revisions and ports. The latest of which is offered as part of the Capcom Arcade Stadium platform. Available for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch, Capcom Arcade Stadium offers numerous classic Capcom titles as either packages or individual purchase.
While other editions of the Street Fighter II series, including Street Fighter II Turbo and Super Street Fighter II Turbo, require individual payment, the original Street Fighter II – The World Warrior is offered for free.
