Hadouken: Japanese Players Enjoying SF HD Remix

Here’s a video of Japanese Street Fighter players (including Otochun and Aniken) playing SF HD Remix. Skip to about 1:05:00 or so for when they finally get going.

They are having such a good time that it makes even more fun to watch. They all laugh (in happiness I think!) when Vega’s wall dive doesn’t knock down, and when someone lands a fake slide into throw with Bison. They also get excited that Ken can now do his super as a reversal.

With Daigo and Tokido both saying good things about the game, Muteki, Yuu Vega, and Jodim all playing on XBLA, and videos like this one, it seems they are pretty into it. Aniken said this (to Masa) in the comment thread about an HD Remix event there:

> Masa
I also think it would be interesting and fun to have HD at the game center
but we have to face reality, there’s nothing we can do about it!

For Ken, Remix Ryu and Sagat are very difficult opponents, it’s fun!♪
Looking forward to seeing you at Sunday’s tourney!

Too bad the game isn’t actually released in Japan, it seems like it would do really well.

Hadouken: TRIUMVIR Street Fighter Alpha III Collection

Our friends from TRIUMVIR are starting taking pre-orders for their new Street Fighter Alpha III Collection today! Need to revamp your wardrobe? Click the link below for pictures and the official press release.

Collection: Street Fighter ALPHA III (a.k.a. the “Greyscale Collection”)
Pre-Book Available From: November 10th, 2010 (12:00pm PST) to November 24th, 2010.
*First 100 orders will receive a collectible Street Fighter gift.
Pre-orders expected to ship mid-December.
MSRP: $36.00

Starting November 10th, 2010 Triumvir will be unveiling another piece to its distinguished Street Fighter line — The Street Fighter ALPHA III Collection. This collection was a particularly important project to Triumvir because of what the game itself represents. SF Alpha III not only brought back vintage characters such as Adon & Charlie, but was also the first crosspollination between the world of Street Fighter and the rest of the CAPCOM universe.
Unlike previous collections, which carried a more serious tone consisting of rugged sketch-art of the characters, the ALPHA III Collection features fully completed artwork to give the collection an ominous, subtle, and sleek look. Also known as the “Greyscale Collection”, the series maintains anime roots through its utilization of CRMK’s artwork and grayscale colors. Unique to the Alpha III Collection, characters are no longer static portraits, but rather brought to life as they are captured in their in-game “victory” poses.

TRIUMVIR –
Heavily influenced by history, culture and the derivatives of contemporary fashion, many of the ideals and legacies
set forth by the Roman Empire, among others have served as direct inspiration for Triumvir. Like the brand
founders, Triumvir strives to demonstrate a life long dedication to the lasting impression left by the classics, with
dreams to one day join them
