And when is that, exactly? Well, perhaps it'll be out by the time you've finished perusing the twenty new screenshots, featuring Cammy, Zangief and Blanka landing high-definition blows, below.

Ok, I looked at all 20 pics, now where's my SSFIITHDR!?
Jack @ Oct 21st 2008 4:13PM
Agreed.
I think I'm over the gimped HD Remix. Bring on SFIV.
Man, a year ago I wouldn't have believed I would say that today.

I really didn't care for the beta. Felt really clunky, almost more so than the original. Though maybe it's because I haven't played SFII since way back when, and have been mostly weened on SNK fighters and Street Fighter III, I just expect a little more substance. I'll wait for the console version of SF IV for my next Street Fighter fix.

geez, how long does it take to release a cartoon fighter.
Arturis @ Oct 21st 2008 3:49PM
Unlike a 3D fighter where you create the model and animate it via a skeleton, a 2D fighter has to be hand drawn, frame by frame.
So quite a bit of time, honestly.
Jimiisama @ Oct 21st 2008 7:41PM
It's not just the graphics; Sirlin's been devoting a lot of time to rebalancing the game, which is really unnecessary imo. Super Turbo is a fine game as is, and most people would be happy enough with ST with new graphics and online play, but Sirlin seems to think it's necessary to rebalance a game we've been playing for 11 years (and that's only ST).
xFenixKnightx @ Oct 21st 2008 3:40PM
I was gonna get this but I figure its taken too long to come out and now I'll just wait for SFIV since I already have the original XBLA version.
Dirty @ Oct 21st 2008 4:08PM
Yup. They missed the boat. My wallet is busy.
Kael @ Oct 21st 2008 7:58PM
The weird thing is that this has taken so long to come out that I somehow assumed in the back of my mind that the game had already come out a long time ago. It must be that I was thinking of the OTHER Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo. Outside of die-hard, professional tournament players who care about the esoteric re-balancing: even if one is prettier, do we need two of the exact same game?
grex9101 @ Oct 21st 2008 3:41PM
Borderlin uncontrollable with the shitty 360 d-pad though.
Where's my snes to 360 pad adaptor?
dkffiv @ Oct 21st 2008 4:46PM
I was thinking the same thing, I'll probably pick up the PSN version (I ended up preordering the PS3 vers. of SF4).
capt_carl @ Oct 21st 2008 4:57PM
If only my six-button Genesis controller would work on my 360...
deaftly @ Oct 21st 2008 5:16PM
both controllers are pretty shitty honestly for sf2.
Jimiisama @ Oct 21st 2008 7:42PM
Buy a Hori EX2; it's your best bet if you wanna play a fighter on the 360.
Charlie_Six @ Oct 21st 2008 3:44PM
That F-16 has a strange looking engine intake.
Dirty @ Oct 21st 2008 3:56PM
I didn't even notice it, I was busy.... LOOKING AT THE ORANGE GUY WITH GREEN HAIR.
Cellien @ Oct 21st 2008 5:29PM
You're right. I don't remember it looking all angular like that. I think it was curved in the old game.
DangerMouse @ Oct 21st 2008 3:47PM
Great news, but i can't see myself spending too much on this. It would be great if it's $10, but anything over $15 is way out of the question.
deadpool @ Oct 21st 2008 4:18PM
ssf2thd makes me throw up.
SuMtOnE @ Oct 21st 2008 5:00PM
Boutyme... guess ill have to use my credit card... been very cautious... but for this game... no exception... cant wait... btw i wonder will they have a lil corner so you can go random... =)
grex9101 @ Oct 21st 2008 5:02PM
why...do you have...to type...like that...?
Can...you...not...construct a proper goddamn sentence...?
wickedpheonix @ Oct 21st 2008 5:01PM
Screenshot #10 is almost NSFW as mentioned on X3F: CROTCH-BLOCK FTW!!!!!
Falk3r @ Oct 21st 2008 5:03PM
What's up with the Cammy crotch / a$$ shots? I mean... wow, but... is that why I'm buying the game?
Ok. Yeah. It is.
SuMtOnE @ Oct 21st 2008 5:07PM
LOL

FSK405K @ Oct 21st 2008 5:34PM
How about coming out with a controller with a decent directional pad?
Jimiisama @ Oct 21st 2008 7:43PM
Buy a Hori EX2; I highly recommend it, especially if you're gonna get MVC2 and SF4 for 360 as well.
FSK405K @ Oct 24th 2008 6:08AM
No, sorry, I SUCK with a regular-sized joystick. I desperately want a X360 controller with a SNES-pad. What good reason could MS have had to not include one?
Eric @ Oct 21st 2008 6:16PM
with this + SFIV coming, it pretty much solidifies my decision to purchase the following: X-Arcade stick w/ PS2 adaptor, XFPS360.. a pricey commitment, but one that should be well worth it, especially since the X-Arcade can work on every other system as well
Jimiisama @ Oct 21st 2008 7:45PM
I highly recommend that you do not buy an X-Arcade stick; go on SRK and ask them what they think about them =). From what I hear the response on those sticks are God awful, and you're better off with a Hori EX2 for 360 or the HRAP3 for PS3.

Sooooo Prettyyy *drools*
Carlos @ Oct 21st 2008 7:34PM
looks horrible in my opinion, they should've hired some other guy to do the sprite work, it looks like a flash game
Jimiisama @ Oct 21st 2008 7:46PM
Damn it, Sirlin! I don't give a damn about "Remix Mode"; I just want ST with online play! No need to rebalance an 11 year old game!
Platy @ Oct 21st 2008 8:09PM
Pretty buggy screens ... i mean ... look at Ryu's Leg/but/anatomy here http://www.joystiq.com/photos/super-street-fighter-ii-turbo-hd-remix-10-21-08/1110091/ or Cammy's shadow here http://www.joystiq.com/photos/super-street-fighter-ii-turbo-hd-remix-10-21-08/1110089/ (and yes, cammy has a shadow in this pic =P)
Poddie @ Oct 21st 2008 9:08PM
Would love to have and play this game, but it's absolutely useless without a good dpad.
And no, I don't want a joystick or a "special" controller that I have to swap out and use.
Is it too much to ask for a dpad that doesn't SUCK??? They supposedly already have one and yet released the red pad (which I would like because I love Gears of War) WITHOUT the improvement!!!
Sometimes I just don't get it. Are they trying not to waste their existing inventory of the old half cent dpads on these $65 controllers?
yyr @ Oct 21st 2008 10:29PM
I played Street Fighter IV at Chinatown Fair in NYC last weekend.
After playing that...and then looking at this...I want to say "why bother?"
SFIV came out so much better than I could have imagined it. And here we have...Super Turbo.
I know they've been working hard on it and I kind of feel sorry, but after playing SFIV I feel like I can't go back.
GoonieGooGoo @ Oct 22nd 2008 12:20PM
Does anybody even care about this game being released anymore??
