Street Fighter 25th Anniversary Collector’s Set
What's It About?
As its name suggests, STREET FIGHTER 25TH ANNIVERSARY COLLECTOR'S SET commemorates a quarter century of the popular Japanese fighting game franchise with a suite of games and other Street Fighter content including video, artwork, a ton of music, and a collectible figurine. Video games from yesteryear include Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, Street Fighter III 3rd Strike Online Edition, Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition and Street Fighter X Tekken. Available for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, each of these limited collector's edition boxes are numbered and include a certificate of authenticity.
Is It Any Good?
Yes, the games hold up very well, even with the older titles. Newer games like Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition and Street Fighter X Tekken look, play, and feel great, plus they both include all downloadable costume and character content on the discs already. The extras will be a treat for fans, including a two-disc Blu-Ray set (including a documentary on the influence of the franchise), anime movies, and TV shows, a light-up 8-inch Ryu statue, 11-disc music soundtrack, 64-page hardcover art book, and full-size replica of Ryu's belt. While $150 is quite steep, this is the definitive collection of games and content for Street Fighter fans.
