Oh Capcom, you are spoiling us

Arcades may be dead, but many of the top manufacturers from back in the day are striving to reinvent and rejuvenate their old franchises for modern systems and new players. And arguably, of all the old guard to try to keep their games relevant, Capcom has been the most successful. As well as porting classics with their Arcade Cabinet collection and giving us numerous remakes, such as Bionic Commando Rearmed and 1942: Joint Strike, they've also brought a number of franchises back to life, most notably Street Fighter IV. And this month, they've teased us arcade throwbacks with two new treats. Check out the videos below:

I skipped the last update for SSFIV, but I'm rather looking forward to Ultra, not least because Elena was one of my favourite new characters in Street Fighter III. And as for the Strider remake, I'm getting quite a Shadow Complex vibe from it, but that is by no means a bad thing, as Shadow Complex was awesome, but we'll need to wait for that one until next year.
