An HD Hadouken - Puzzle Style

Just so you know, it took quite a while to find the proper spelling of "hadouken," and if you don't understand what that means, then please skip to the next entry.

So I don't kid you when I say that my favorite PlayStation game of all time is "Super Puzzle Fighter II". What is that, you ask? It was a Capcom staple that basically combines a Tetris-esque game with characters from "Street Fighter" and "Darkstalkers." And it was extremely fun. And now I can't seem to find my copy of the game anywhere.

But hark! Last April, they announced that the game is being revamped in HD for the Xbox Live Arcade and for the PlayStation Network (i.e. they will become available via the Internet to those two systems).

So I am late in hearing this news, but man am I excited. And now, to illustrate why I probably shouldn't be so excited.



Looks pretty lame, right? Seriously - don't knock it until you try it. And the voice-overs are fantastic (you know, I could swear that Felicia says "Tom McGee" when you scroll it over to 1:30).
