In the
VGM Daily Podcast for today,
VGM Fusion reports that
Microsoft announced during a press event held in Canada that
Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting will be released on
Xbox Live Arcade at the end of
April. Also revealed was the game's pricing which will be in between
$10-$15 or
800 - 1200 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 port of
UMK3.
