I've been playing Super Street Fighter 2 HD Remix for about ten minutes at this point, so my opinion could easily change over the next hours. However, here are my preliminary opinions on the game.

I'm disappointed. Really really disappointed. HD Remix does what it promised: it takes SSF2:T and gives it a graphical overhaul. On that part, yes, it's in HD, it's high res, I can't disagree. Now why is Ryu wearing eye liner? It's a small matter but part of a much larger scale.

Recently, Square Enix announced a port of the classic SNES title Chrono Trigger for the DS, and then, I was really disappointed. Now don't get me wrong, I think Chrono Trigger is one of the best RPGs the video game industry has ever seen. It was the perfect blend of gameplay, story and character design, not to mention the numerous endings the game provided. Although many games have come and gone since, few manage to reach the high level of quality the Dream Team gave us with Chrono Trigger.

As far as video game companies go, I think that right now, Capcom may be the best as far as fan service goes. Not only are they bringing back Bionic Commando (and two times instead of one, so we're sure to be satisfied on some level), and NOT ONLY are they bringing back the classic Mega Man 8 bit series in MM9, but Sheng Long is finally going to be a character in Street Fighter IV. That's fan service.
