Roll out the red carpet for this one, guys. Ring the bells, light the fires. One of videogames’ finest is back in town: “Super Street Fighter II Turbo”.

But wait! We missed something back there: we need to tag “HD Remix” on the end! Yes, Super Street Fighter II Turbo for LIVE Arcade is the legendary tournament fighter plus enhancements, transforming something stellar into an intergalactic all-conquering grand master of the universe! No exaggeration…

The Beta test for Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix is available from today (25 June), serving as an appetiser for the full version due summer, which might feel like a tantalising long wait… because it is! But don’t worry, because meantime we’ve got World Warriors Ken and Ryu for company to demonstrate online versus battles across Xbox LIVE, and showing off the remixed artwork.

It’s not for us to sell the Super Street Fighter II Turbo experience because history speaks for itself. Super SFII Turbo is a benchmark fighting game, its precision 2D mechanics click so perfectly and exchanges flow so smoothly that the entertainment value is endless.

The HD Remix features Classic and Rebalanced options, the latter taking into account fan feedback over the years. Essentially, then, the ultimate version of one of the greatest videogames of all time. And that’s before you consider the mouth-watering artwork enhancements, training mode, and pioneering Quarter Match mode that lets players spectate between matches.

If you’re an Xbox LIVE Gold subscriber and want to take part in the Super Street Fighter II Turbo Remix Beta test simply purchase Capcom’s Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 and follow the link from the in-game menu.
