XMNR: A trio of games landed on Xbox LIVE Arcade this morning including yet another iteration of the Street Fighter series, a puzzle game called Crazy Machines Elements that reminds us of an old-school PC game, and Hole in the Wall for Kinect based on a Japanese game show turned Nickelodeon game show.
The Street Fighter 6 select theme makes a return to the hip-hop and rap genre, and it's a worthy follow-up to the Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike select theme.
If you’re into rap, sure I can see this being up there. I think SF4 had a better select theme, personally.
With the rise of eSports, the fighting game community has followed, in its own unique way, to higher production values with events such as Combo Breaker.
Garry from Bit Cultures writes: "Street Fighter III and its arcade updates have slowly gained traction as a competitive fighting game over the years as its shallow competitors fell by the wayside. This fighter is easy to jump into, deep with extensive new mechanics it brings to the genre, and is hard as hell to master. While still on the shortlist of the top competitive fighting games nearly 15 years after its release, Capcom tried to do it justice in 2011 with a comprehensive Online Edition to coincide with the opening of the high-speed internet gaming floodgates onto the PS3 and XBox 360. Now, here we are on the eve of the Street Fighter V release, re-evaluating Street Fighter III Online Edition‘s merits almost 20 years after its initial arcade run."
