Forum Overview :: I Can't Afford a XBL Gold Membership :: This year's Capcom sale is MUCH better.

[quote name="Jerry Whorebach"]<a href="http://majornelson.com/2014/08/05/weeks-deals-gold-4/">Link to Larry's blog.</a> I already had Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix (currently $5.09, definitive port of the definitive release of the definitive fighting game, shame they had to mess with the artwork), Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix ($4.99, Puyo Puyo 2 by way of Baku Baku Animal, also a great port), Bionic Commando: Rearmed ($4.99, better than either of the originals (the arcade and NES versions were two different games developed simultaneously)), and Final Fight: Double Impact ($3.99, decent emulation but it's just Final Fight again). I picked up Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara ($5.09, includes both of Capcom's D&D-themed Final Fight clones long thought lost forever in licensing limbo, previously only available as an ultra-rare Japan-only Sega Saturn import), Mega Man 9 ($4.99, no comment), Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike Online Edition ($3.74, celebrate the tenth anniversary of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KS7hkwbKmBM">Daigo's comeback</a> at Evo 2K4), and Resident Evil 4 HD ($6.59, depite technically being a full game and not an XBLA release it's still only available as a download in North America, and this is the cheapest it's ever been by a good $3). If you're thinking about getting into Street Fighter for the first time, <a href="http://www.polygon.com/2014/7/7/5876983/how-to-play-street-fighter-fighting-game-primer">here's a helpful article</a> outlining the basics, written with the HD Remix in mind. My advice is to ignore all of that and just mash roundhouse kick with your right hand while jumping and crouching a lot to keep your left from getting bored. Street Fighter is easily the game I love the most that I'm the fucking worst at. The most fun you can have with Magic Sword is watching <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/Rocksite1/videos">this awesome middle-aged man</a> beat it on a single quarter while giving out protips and life lessons, then shred harder than any human being has ever shredded on his electric guitar. This is what Youtube was made for.[/quote]
