Street Fighter II

In celebration of Street Fighter’s 30th anniversary, Capcom and iam8bit are teaming up for an “ultra premium throwback relic”. On the way is an entirely new, limited edition reprint of Street Fighter II for the SNES.

Here’s what you can expect from the package:

Featuring one of two colored cartridges, each housing the original game code and fully playable on NTSC consoles – but that’s just the beginning! The “Legacy Cartridge Collection” embodies retro-inspired luxury, amplifying the core SNES box design with a glistening foil sheen, delicately embossed texture, chic spot varnish and an innovative tri-fold cover that opens to reveal bonus vintage art. Inside, we’re keeping it old-school by restoring the contents of the original instruction booklet, complete with a new archival cover print + secret pack-ins (to be revealed when you crack that shrink-wrap seal).

It’s been 26 years since Street Fighter II: The World Warrior originally launched, but one player – going by the name Desk – has managed to find some new combos in the game.

Desk takes the game’s Vega restand glitch to a new level. He’s basically discovered that you can continue to hit Vega (Claw) when he has been knocked down by a sweep. The glitch itself isn’t new, but Desk found an original way of working with it and pushed its limits.

Here’s a look:
