SSF2T in Hi-Def! - Reason to Buy a PS3
It makes me feel like an old man to say it — I am just not into the games that all the kids like these days. I want my old school Ken dragon punches with an 8-way/6-button digital joystick.
Which makes this news very cool indeed — according to an article on QJ.net, Capcom is bringing Super Street Fighter II Turbo to both the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live in HIGH DEFINITION. I have to admit, this may be what it takes for me to plunk down the cash for a PS3, though I am a little concerned that the only people I’d end up playing against would kick my ass and take the fun away…

While my favorite is still SF2T (Hyper Fighting), SSF2T and I have a long history together…
I first played it in the arcades when it came out, then bought the nearly perfect arcade port (with CD audio) for the 3DO along with an extremely rare SNES->3DO controller adapter in order to use my very authentic arcade controller (which now has been converted to a PS2 controller for improved cross-platform compatibility). Some years later I ended up buying a Japanese sit-down Neo Geo MVS arcade cabinet that happened to have a working US CPS2 SSF2T JAMMA board in it.

Hey there. You know that “Super Professional” joystick that you have there? I just got one of those off of ebay. Did yours come wired for PS1? Reason I ask is mine is SNES. I want to rewire it but it looks pretty much like the whole thing is glued together. Were you able to crack yours open? If you could write me at xxxxxxx@hotmail.com I would so appreciate that. Thanks!!!
