General: For the first time ever, Capcom is finally "re-making" a Street Fighter game from the ground up. Based off of an all time fan favorite and true classic, Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo! Capcom said they will be keeping the gameplay mechanics perfectly "intact." It will also animate nearly exactly like the original but enhanced with completely re-drawn 2D / HD sprites, re-drawn backgrounds, and brand new character artwork for the character selection screen.
Our good friends at UDON will be creating the artwork and sprites for the remake, titled: Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix... Possibly the longest name ever for a Street Fighter game. Capcom has confirmed online play, a training mode, voice chat, rankings/leaderboards, different matchmaking options, and stat tracking. "SSF2THDR" is in very early development but is on schedule for a release this fall for PS3 and Xbox 360 via download from their respective online stores.

Closing Comment: I have mixed thoughts about HD Remix... First off, I know the original animations from the SF2 series like the back of my hand. It's definitely cool that one of Capcom's best 2D fighting games is being re-made, but at the same time, I knew from the beginning that re-making those "old" sprites wouldn't be a perfect conversion. Basically, it's going to look weird to have bigger sprites with the same frame count as the original smaller animation. The time that they've been taking on this game is evident that my theory was correct, it's a tough ordeal for sure... But I believe in Udon, and I know they won't give up. At the end of the day, HD Remix should bring nostalgia Street Fighter veterans with a shiny new graphical overhaul. ~F.Yagami, Webmaster of TFG
