Super Street Fighter II, Strider coming to the North American Wii VC
Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers made it to the Japanese Wii Virtual Console last week. Because it features online play – a rare feature for a VC title – fans in other territories have been particularly hopeful that they’ll be given an opportunity to download the game. Capcom has, fortunately enough, been quick to confirm that it will be made available in North America and Europe.
Capcom wrote on their official blog:
“Here’s a nice surprise – the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive version of Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers is coming to the Japanese Virtual Console with online play added. On the surface, that’s not entirely great news, as most of us are not in Japan. However, I can confirm that this is indeed coming soon for US / EU as well, though there’s no set date.”
So, it’s coming… it’s just a matter of when it’ll hit the Wii Shop Channel. We’ll have to be patient, but at least we know it’s on the way.
It’s also worth mentioning that Strider is set for a North America/European release. No date has been confirmed yet, though you can expect it sometime in the near future.
