“You’re the best, around! Nothing’s gonna ever keep you down!” that’s the theme song to this new trailer for Capcom’s upcoming Super Street Fighter II Turbo: HD Remix which is scheduled for release in just nine days from now, on November 27th, 2008.
The game completely remixes the original Super Street Fighter II Turbo with upgraded HD character artwork (drawn by UDON Entertainment, who also did the Street Fighter comic book series), remixed music by the awesome video game fan remixer site OverClocked Remix (which I urge everyone to check out, it’s a great site with some great music) and, of course, full online play. You’ll also have the ability to play the original version of Super Street Fighter II Turbo, either without the HD graphics or without the remixed music.
Features of Super Street Fighter II: HD Remix include:
* Classic/Remix (Rebalanced) Arcade mode
* Online and offline multiplayer
* A training mode
* Hit box display
* Both remixed and classic music
* Voice chat
* A ‘Quarter Match’ mode which allows players to spectate and jump into online matches simulating the arcade environment
* 8 player tournament mode
* Worldwide rankings and leaderboards arranged by character and country
* In-depth statistics tracking
* A display mode that fits the game into a 16:9 aspect ratio without impacting gameplay

Thanks a lot for the kind words on OC ReMix, astro, we appreciate ‘em! We’re looking forward to HD Remix’s release as much as you are!
Once all of the fans are able to hear our remixed soundtrack, I know we’ll have a lot more believers in what we’re doing to tribute game music. Definitely holler any time if you’d like to do an interview about the HD Remix soundtrack & working with Capcom as well as OC ReMix in general. We’re always down!

Hey Larry! You are welcome, i’ve been a big fan of OC Remix since I first discovered the site years ago, so whenever I have a chance to plug the site I do so! It really is a great thing and I was shocked to hear that you were developing the soundtrack for Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, it doesn’t get any better than that! But just to have a big-name company like Capcom actually acknowledging the great work their fans have done with music in that way, is mindblowing.
Anyhoo, I want to be really prepared with some unique questions before I do an interview, but I’ll get working on that. I’ve been asked before and now with Street Fighter’s release near now would be a great time to jump on that. Thanks again for the comment and for reading VGB!
