Okay, okay... so this Genesis version of Street Fighter II took a little longer than people had planned. Don't worry, the wait was worth it! The most awesome fighting game of the '90's has just hit the Genesis!
Special Something
Genesis owners can stop their moaning, because this edition of Street Fighter is as good as the others for the SNES. It includes complete Champion Edition game play. You can obviously play as any of the bosses plus you can pull off CE-specific moves, like Guile's Knee Trust. Plus the excellent Turbo Mode includes all the moves from the arcade Turbo game, such as Chun Li's Fireball. The Turbo Mode even has selectable speed -- up to ten stars and you don't have to enter a code to access it. There's more: A brand new Mode of play called Group Battle enables, you to set up your own two-player tournament. This latest version includes graphics that have been dramatically improves upon with large, fully detailed sprites, great color shading and better vivid visuals to the backgrounds.
Alleluia!
We'll have complete review of the game in our next issue. In the meantime, Genesis Street Fighters stop your whining and get out there and kick some Special Edition butt!

Game Reviews
Streetfighter II black belts will find themselves at home with the beat-'em-up action in the Championship Edition. It features the same graphics and game controls as the first edition. The fights even take place in the same 12 areas.
The most notable feature upgrade is the ability of both players to choose from all 12 characters, including Balrog, Vega, Sagat, and M. Bison. These characters were reserved for the computer in the original game. For true head-to-head challenges, two players can also fight each other as the same character. Instead of the 28 possible match-ups in Streetfighter II, the Championship Edition offers a mind-blowing 78 possible fights!
Several characters have new and improved moves in their deadly repertoires. If you think you've mastered all the Streetfighter techniques, take a peek at these:
Chun Li: When you're in throwing range, press Towards plus Roundhouse. She'll jump up, kick her opponent in the chest, flip into the air, and land on his head with a downwards kick.
Chun Li: Also when in you're in throwing range, press Towards plus the Forward Kick. She'll make a flip kick to the chest and automatically flip backwards to safety.
Ken and Ryu: Their Dragon Punches have been pumped up to cover a wider area of attack.
M. Bison: Push Down while you press Roundhouse. He'll jump onto an opponent's head, landing on his chest with a downwards punch.
M. Bison: To launch an awesome aerial drill attack, pull away from an opponent for two seconds. Then push Towards, while simultaneously pressing any punch button.
Blanka: It's easier to charge his electricity, even if you use the Fierce punch button.
Sagat: Throw high and low fireballs by using the Punch or Kick button and the correct joystick rotation.
E. Honda: The sumo headbutt attack is faster and meaner.
E. Honda: Use the Fierce button to launch a series of rapid sumo punches.
Balrog: Headbutt opponents when you get within throwing range.
Zangief: You move towards your opponent when you engage the spinning attacks.
This version for Genesis has re-worked sounds and voices if you compare it to the SNES version, with less colors, Although the options for Turbo made it a lot faster than its Nintendo counterpart The original Street Fighter 2 (aka Street Fighter 2 - The World Warrior) was apparently not released for the G/MD.
CAUTION: This Game Is Made In Japan
