But for Bison, it was Tuesday.
It’s hard to overstate the impact Street Fighter II and its subsequent editions had on the gaming landscape. It went from arcades, to practically every home console (seriously, there’s a version for the Game Boy, and even the Sega Master System in Brazil), to even your Saturday morning cartoons and even a movie:
But there was never a version made in earnest for the NES (unless you count the bootleg, which nobody does). At least, not until today.
Courtesy of a talented group of fans, Street Fighter II now has an NES version that isn’t presumably made by the people behind 7 Grand Dad. It’s a hack of another bootleg, I think, but still, they’re putting in the work to make it shine.
The game should, hypothetically, work on actual hardware with a flashcart, too. Potentially on a repro cart as well.
The project isn’t totally complete yet, though it’s very near completion. And based on the glimpses given out in the thread on Romhacking, It’ll be impressive.
