Street Fighter II 128K - The REAL CPC Edition shown off in this gameplay footage [2021 UPDATE]


This year has just been fantastic for the Amstrad CPC with a ton of Amstrad homebrew games to spoil us, but even though we had the incredible Amiga to Amstrad port of Pinball Dreams, we haven't finished with the Amstrad yet. Now you may remember our big article on the very impressive looking homebrew remake of Street Fighter II titled 'Street Fighter II - CPC Edition' which is being developed by DaDMaN, and AugustoRuiz for the Amstrad CPC 6128 (128Kb RAM). Well at the end of last month a new video tease was released, showing us just how far the game has progressed and what it's like to actually play.


Looks impressive right? Well if you don't remember much about Street Fighter II and why it deserves this remake, here is a quote from the very first article we did. Cast your minds way back to 1992 when Capcom's eagerly awaited beat em up ' Street Fighter 2 ' finally appeared on the C64 and ZX Spectrum. At least a year and a half later if not more , the Amstrad version was supposed to be coming to the Amstrad CPC, at least according to Amstrad Action. Yet for some reason, perhaps the development was scrapped it never appeared. Many years later, a homebrew port from the Gameboy version did appear on the Amstrad CPC by Hermol but many felt that it wasn't a true reflection of the Amstrad's detail. So here we are with this in development version, which may be released at some point down the line.

Update : Saberman has done a video of the tech demo of which we haven't seen before. The only reason I've not done a new article however, is the tech demo is from 2021! So for now it's only an addition to this old article.
