It's my pleasure to reveal part 3 of a 3 part video series celebrating Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, launching tomorrow on PSN and Wednesday on XBLA. Go check out the HD version on GameTrailers.

Everytime I hear this song, it gets me so hyped that I want to crane kick someone just for the heck of it!  A lot of the younger kids didn't really get these videos.  Man, I feel old.  Daniel-san? 80's tournament montage? You're the Best?  Go rent the DVD kids.  :)

Devious you say?  From a classic family fun game like Uno?  Well, let me explain.  Available sometime next month will be a Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix themed card deck for the already top selling Uno for XBLA.  This deck will feature:

- HD background of Sagat's stage from HD Remix

- Sagat's classic level music.

- Portrait art of characters on all the cards.

- Animation of Street Fighter moves on special cards.

But let me get to the devious part now.  The game will play just like the normal Uno you know any love; there's blocks, jumps, wilds, and reverses.  Added to the game is a new command card, the Hadoken.  Here's how it works, when a someone plays the Hadoken card, they can pick whoever it's played against, and that player must draw cards until they pick up a block or jump card.  

Doesn't sound too bad, but check out what happened to me.  I'm sitting here, playing a friendly game against the AI and BAM!  Mr. Orange player here plays a Hadoken card on me:

As stated above, you have to draw until you pick up a block or jump card.  That can be 2 cards later, or in this case, 20!! cards later:

But, as you can see, I also picked up a Hadoken card of my own.  I played it my very next turn on Mr. Orange there.....and he only drew 4 cards until he picked up a block card!  

So you see...that Hadoken card brings a whole new level of game changing dynamic to Uno.  Think of it as using a super when playing Street Fighter, just when you think you're going to win, BAM!, you get hit with that card.  Thank you Mr. Street Fighter, you've just turned Uno into a fierce, teeth gritting, high competition game.

So, it would seem there's some erroneous rumors going around about the pricing of HD Remix. While we probably would have been happy to keep the speculation going another couple days (hell, we love the attention), we had some concerns that the speculation was turning unproductive.

So let me end all of the rumors once and for all.

HD Remix will be coming to Xbox Live Marketplace on 11/26 for 1200 MS points.

It will arrive on 11/25 on PlayStation Network for $14.99. You will see standard international price adjustments for overseas PSN stores when it eventually arrives.

When you see Rey's blog post next week that has EVERYTHING that HD Remix offers, I think it's fair to say that it's one of the best gaming values anywhere.

Enjoy.

I predict that Rey's Blog next week is going to melt faces (in a good way... not in the Raiders of the Lost Ark way).

mmm... Forgotten Worlds... We'll get this out of the way, up front: no, there is no rotating controller, sorry. That being said, one of my favorite old school Capcom arcade games is now available on the Virtual Console! Forgotten Worlds is right up there with Strider, Bionic Commando, Black Tiger and Section Z, classics of the CPS1-era Capcom arcade dominance. Forgotten Worlds has a lot going for it, including one of the earliest appearances of Captain Commando (who was the unofficial Capcom mascot for a long time before being replaced by Mega Man), delicious Zenny and a funky 80's-style "futuristic" design. One of my favorite parts of the game were the shops where players could redeem their Zenny coins for new weapons and power-ups. This was a relatively rare feature in a 1988 arcade, as most games focused on getting players to drop in quarters as fast as possible, meaning that game designers never wanted the action to stop. Virtual Console Reviews has posted their thoughts on the game right here. If you've got a free slot on your Wii and a few bucks in loose change rattling around, treat yourself to this gem.
