As unfair as it sounds to start off the review of an admittedly good game by slamming both it and its publisher, Ultra Street Fighter II and Capcom deserve it. The reason for this is that Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers is being sold at an RRP of R599.

Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers review – the high price of nostalgia

It's still amazing that such an old game can remain so playable after all these years, although it's equally incredible that Capcom still insist on charging full price for it.

20 years on and it's obvious why this is still the world's favourite 2D fighter; Plenty of options, including online, and the new Ryu and Ken are fun; Great remixed music

Offensively expensive, especially given the cost of Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix – and the fact half its features have been hacked out; Ugly new art and awful first person mode

Not ultra, but it'll do

Solid and definitely has an audience. There could be some hard-to-ignore faults, but the experience is fun.
