3/2/2008 - Street Fighter IV (NES pirate original)

Could it be? Could Capcom have created Street Fighter IV 15 years before it's set to hit the arcades this year? Of course not, but look at this "Street Fighter IV" game for the NES:



Of all, the pirated Street Fighter games I've seen, this one actually looks halfway decent. Yes, the music sucks and it's definitely a ripoff of SF2, but I think it's a bit of a step up from the other games. The character sprites are large, the speed and jumping distances look accurate, there's parallax scrolling (pretty much unheard of in a pirated game), and there's even a voice sample for the Shoryuken move! I think that if Capcom didn't want to make their own version of Street Fighter II for the NES, then they should have hired these guys to do it for them.
