In these types of games, performing a backward loop is a lot less obvious than laser beams and energy fields. One of the most remarkable things I found was the ability to activate an avoid maneuver. This does not detract from the fact that the game delivers a smooth and nice-looking experience. In terms of gameplay, you don’t have to expect a new Ikaruga right away.
Power-ups come in the form of life, temporary energy shields, and an alternation of weaponry – with an upgrade when you pick up two of the same type of weapons. The goal is simple: choose one of the three planes to lead all the enemy vehicles to the junkyard. The game is a classic vertically scrolling top-down shooter complete with high difficulty. Number three is 1942: Joint Strike – not the 1984 original, but the stylish 2008 remake. The soundtrack is also filled with overly cheerful Japanese arcade music. Especially in multiplayer, the game is a must for any enthusiast of action-packed puzzle games. Of all those modes, the X (or X ‘) version is the most original – and hectic – making it the most interesting. Finally, there is Z-mode, in which the blocks do not fall from the sky, but rise slowly from the ground like a massive monolith. The Y version works as a glorified three-in-a-row clone where you can choose when you consume the collected energy to have your avatar perform an attack. No, even a puzzle spin-off from Street Fighter cannot escape Capcom’s rebalancing drive. There is also an X ‘mode that presents itself as a more balanced version. The mechanics behind it work somewhat like that of a fighting game: each group of blocks you destroy counts as an attack on the opponent. In the X variant you have to stick together blocks of the same color and eventually destroy them by dropping a sphere of the same color on them. There are three types of gameplay, each named according to one of the last three letters of the alphabet.

As everyone knows, fighting games – much like shooters, hack ‘n slashers and simulators – are a genre of games that become obsolete very easily, making older instances quickly obsolete.

The game first appeared in the arcades during 1996/1997, but only really made a name for itself with its console port in 2007. Can a puzzle game spin-off from a fighting game really be worth it? Spoiler, the answer is “yes”. For the people who still squint after reading the previous title: the difference is in the “Street” which was replaced by “Puzzle”. Next on the list is Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix.
And third, why waste your time with this when today’s fighting games are exploding in popularity these days: Super Street Fighter IV, Mortal Kombat, Soul Calibur V, BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend, Ultimate Marvel Versus Capcom and now even Street Fighter x Tekken.
Second, this Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix (ouch, my mouth) doesn’t really have an abundance of modes. First, they’ve already made so outrageous versions of this one game that it just isn’t funny anymore. Anyone who still needs an explanation of Street Fighter II? Yes, it remains a classic, but you know what? I am tired of it. No, that title is not a joke, someone really thought it was a good idea to add the words ‘super’, ‘turbo’, ‘HD’ and ‘remix’ to one title. We start with Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. The perfect deal for the online transaction-averse consumer? Or rather a stew of bad taste? With the Capcom Digital Collection the publisher / developer takes a different path and brings us a collection of eight digital games from the past six years – notwithstanding the fact that many of them are simply remakes or re-releases of old games. Yes, you know what I mean: Street Fighter Collection, Street Fighter Anniversary Collection and Street Fighter Alpha Anthology. On the other hand, an abundance of compilations have completely in the picture of “that one game”. On the one hand, we have nostalgia packages such as the Capcom Generations and Capcom Classics Collection games, attempts to make an extra dollar from 8- and 16-bit titles from two decades ago.
