Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix - 2008
What a name! SSFIITHDR is a yet-to-be-released XBL remake of Super SF II Turbo with, you guessed it, high definition sprites. The new sprites are being drawn by UDON, creator of many a Street Fighter comic.

Street Fighter IV, which takes place after Street Fighter II and before Street Fighter III, is the first true sequel (er, prequel) to the Street Fighter series since SF III in 1998. Ken and Ryu are back.

Those who've played the game say that stills don't do it justice - you've got to see it in motion. It has also been pointed out that the dynamic facial expressions are great - those blows look painful. Peep our collection of screens, as well as a video of the unfinished arcade version, below.
