With the Xbox Live Arcade Wednesdays continuing, Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting had finally released on the Xbox Live Marketplace earlier this morning. Street Fighter II, out of all other announced XBLA titles, had been one of the more anticipated games. It’ll cost players 800 Marketplace points ($10) in order to download the game.
Last month, Microsoft announced this title along with releasing titles to the Xbox Live Arcade including: Frogger, Galaga, Cloning Clyde. The next title will be Pac-man.
Online Multiplayer Mode – The game has both Ranked matches and Player matches, including the 4-player Quarter Match option.
