Street Fighter has become part of many childhood.
One of the legendary games in the world of gaming, very few gamers do not know the name Street Fighter. Since its launch in 1987, Street Fighter has always been one of the leading names in the fighting game genre and the gaming world. The slogans or characters in this game have really become symbols.
Although the first part of the series is considered to have achieved certain success. However, it was not until Part 2 of Street Fighter was released that this game really became a craze. Part 2 of Street Fighter has turned this game into an iconic brand. Perhaps that is why so many of us have forgotten about the intriguing things that come from the first part of Street Fighter. Here we will recall the interesting things in the first part of this series that not everyone knows.
The first fighting game developed by Capcom
When thinking about Capcom, people often think of games like Resident Evil, Devil May Cry and Monster Hunter. Therefore, many people will be surprised to learn that the first game they made with the fighting game genre was so successful.
In fact, Street Fighter was Capcom's first time trying to make a fighting game. Its success has launched one of the most iconic brands in the gaming world. Street Fighter has also become an inspiration for Capcom to make more fighting games, such as Marvel vs Capcom.
This is a game based on inspiration called the Avengers
This is not the famous Marvel Avengers we are familiar with today. This Avengers game has been in production since 1987, and is not developed by Capcom. This game is directed by Takashi Nishiyama. After working with Hiroshi Matsumoto, the two men released the Avengers together.
Capcom then hired Matsumoto as the core planner and developer for Street Fighter, while they handed over the directorship of this project to Nishiyama. Thanks to the two's collaborative experience in the previous Avengers project. So, it is clear that they have taken ideas from the Avengers to perfect Street Fighter. From there, they turned Street Fighter into one of the most successful fighting game brands of all time.
The game also has a version called Fighting Street
Street Fighter is a popular name for many people, but I know the game also has a version with the name Fighting Street. In 1988, Street Fighter was transferred to the home console and released on TurboGrafx-CD (called PC Engine in Japan and France). And for some reason, this version was released under the name Fighting Street and was later released on the Wii.
This version is not much different from the original 1 year earlier. In 1987, there were only a few minor changes, including the title title and the updated soundtrack in the game.
Street Fighter has been successful since its debut
As mentioned above, only since the release of the second Street Fighter version, the game has become famous and loved to this day. However, this does not mean that the first part of the series has not been successful. In fact, since its launch, Street Fighter has achieved a certain number of achievements.
Street Fighter is ranked as the most commercially successful arcade game among Sinclair User's August 1988 release games, a Sinclair research-based magazine. The time this ranking was announced was a year after the game was released. This proves that Street Fighter is still famous and retains its performance throughout the year or the appeal of the game has spread significantly since its release. Demonstrating that the game was a success, Street Fighter made a lot of money, and started planning out sequels.
