As any of you who have read my previous posts, I’m not scared to embarrass myself in front of my gaming brethren. That being the case, I feel no shame in telling you I am terrible at Street Fighter. And I mean really bad. So when I saw that Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix (Could that be longer?) was being shown at Capcom’s Digital Day I was reticent to try it out. Not only that, but the line for it was huge and I could tell that I would have had my arse handed to me in front of my peers in a matter of minutes. So to save myself from that mortification I decided just to stand back and watch.
Monday marked the first in a series of Digital Days hosted for the press by Capcom. This is slightly different from their regular Gamer’s Day as it mainly focused on games that will be available for download through XBLA and the Playstation Network. Only three of the eight games shown (Lost Planet: Colonies, We Love Golf and MegaMan Starforce 2) were actual software titles and we were told at the beginning that there would be no Street Fighter IV or Resident Evil 5 talk. However, his promise was broken moments later by the appearance of the image of a large Luchador which we were told we would be hearing about later in the week.
