| Troll_Whisperer said: But weren't they always like this? How many versions of Street Fighter II were there back in the day? Street Fighter II Street Fighter II Special Champion Edition Street Fighter II Turbo Super Street Fighter II Super Street Fighter II Turbo Just check the first 2:20 of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEVzPCY2T-g Capcom has always been the master of rehashes and updates, since NES. |
Street Fighter was the only one, back in those days (don't forget SF Alpha, SF Ex, and SF. The running joke was that Capcom couldn't count to three. We used to get new games from the Breath of Fire, Gargoyle's Quest, Mega Man (oh, did we get Mega Man), X-Men/Marvel Super Heroes, Darkstalkers, Bionic Commando, Strider, Maximo/Ghosts and Goblins, Rival Schools, Onimusha, etc. I think it was around the PS1 era that the disease spread to other series (especially Resident Evil).
Now, when we get Resident Evil, we get RE Gold. When we get Dead Rising, we get "Off the Record". When we get Marvel vs. Capcom 3, we get Ultimate MvC 3. I figure that by next gen, the updated version of a game will actually release two days before the regular edition!
