Capcom Walks You Through Street Fighter History
Ahead of the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary release later this year, Capcom has started a video series explaining the history of Street Fighter, game by game.
The first video in the series naturally covers the first game, as well as the more historically important sequel, Street Fighter II. The retrospective is narrated by fighting game community veteran James Chen, who takes players through Street Fighter history and puts the games in the context of the genre and the industry as a whole.
You can check out the first video right here.
More videos will come as we march closer to the May 29 release date of Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Switch.
Our Take
Having Chen narrate it was a great choice as he manages to be really informative and speak extemporaneously about a subject in which he's an expert. I can't wait for further episodes.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
