Microsoft announced a new promotion dubbed Xbox Live Arcade Wednesdays at an event in San Francisco last night. For the rest of the summer, a new Xbox Live Arcade game will be released on the Xbox Live Marketplace for the Xbox 360 every Wednesday, starting today with Frogger. The most important title in this list of games to be released is Street Fighter II' Hyper Fighting, which will debut August 12th at a price of $10 (800 Microsoft Points).

The relevance of this title is that Midway will be bringing Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 to Xbox Live Arcade and being that the two games are very similar in functionality, Street Fighter II' Hyper Fighting will give gamers a pretty good idea of what to be able to expect from the multiplayer capabilities of the Xbox Live service. If everything surrounding Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting goes well, then we can only hope to see a fairly comparable experience for UMK3.
