CES: Street Fighter 2 coming to Live Arcade by March
In Peter Moore's CES
speech last night, where he unveiled the external HD DVD
attachment, he also mentioned that "more than 20 games will be available through Xbox Live Arcade" by March,
including games like Texas Hold 'Em, Marble Blast Ultra, and the seminal Street Fighter 2!
While Nintendo will be bringing its extensive (and surely lucrative) back-catalog to the Revolution, Microsoft appears to be intent on releasing arcade classics that have the same attraction (and nostalgia factor) for many of us. Add a couple more classics like TMNT and X-Men, as well as new games like Geometry Wars and you have yourself a pretty attractive package.

Do you suppose Street Fighter 2 will be live enabled to 1 on 1 friends online?

Live enabled? Seeing as how you can do it over SNES9X, I wouldn't doubt it. :D
Excellent news from CES.

I want to play the old school X-Men arcade game with Wolverine, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Storm and Dazzler. Four player support over live would rock.

awwwww nice I miss all those games. In fact, I would prefer a Sega Mega Drive with all the old games than a brand new PSP. Street Fighter 2... that just made my day :)

Great, everyone is getting excited about old school games on Live. Hello! I bought the 360 to play games that are made to use the system, not games I've played on 5-6 sytems every time the company releases a "Greatest Hits." Jeez. How about spending some coin on development of a new game? Have you seen the release schedule for the 360? I see one, maybe two games that aren't sequels of former games. Hurry up and get Mass Effect and Gears of War out!
Not like I'll sell the 360; my ass was waiting in a cold rain on 11/21.
