STREET FIGHTER Game Release and Contest

By: Karl Schneider
Date: Tuesday, June 20, 2006

Earlier this month, Capcom released Street Fighter Alpha Anthology for Playstation 2. They have been kind enough to send us 3 copies of the game and a $100 Best Buy Gift Certificate to give away to you, our loyal readers.

The game, Street Fighter Alpha Anthology, features a cast of 13 characters from the Street Fighter universe and is a compilation of the Street Fighter Alpha Series.

It features direct conversions of Street Fighter Alpha, Street Fighter Alpha 2, Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold and Street Fighter Alpha 3 which have never before been available together in one package. As an added bonus, the "pint-sized" Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix (also released on consoles as Pocket Fighter), is included which brings the total to five action packed games on one disc. As I previously mentioned, the game released this month and is now in stores throughout North America.

All of the titles in the collection feature three core gameplay options. Arcade mode pits competitors against CPU controlled opponents in order to beat the game. Versus mode allows two players to choose among the cast of characters for intense head-to-head battles. Fighters can practice special moves and combos to hone their skills in the training mode. Additionally, all four Alpha titles feature survival mode as well as a dramatic battle mode which allows 2-on-1 tag team matches.

If you are interested and would like a chance at winning the game, please send an email to maniaent@gmail.com. To be considered a valid entry, please include the name of your favorite Street Fighter. If you don't have a favorite, just include the name of any Street Fighter!

The 4 winners will be announced on Sunday. Three will receive the game, and one will snag the Best Buy Gift Certificate.

Good luck to everyone and be sure to check out the game even if you don't win.
