Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers is coming to Wii's Virtual Console, Capcom has announced. "But... didn't that happen in 2008?" you may ask. Ah, you poor, dear, sweet fool, that was the SNES edition--this will be the Genesis version, with online multiplayer.

Online multiplayer was absent from the Virtual Console release of the SNES version, but will indeed by in the Genesis VC edition, Capcom says.

As for other differences between the two versions, the unofficial Street Fighter wiki says that the Genesis edition has an exclusive option to select the number of characters faced in Super Battle Mode. However, it is supposed to have lower-quality sound, so it's all swings and roundabouts.

It'll hit North America and Europe as well as Japan, but western release dates haven't been set yet.

            yeah and there was a secret code to bring up the speed to "10 star" and my friend and I would play routinely on that insane speed and when we would go to the arcade it was matrix mode we would demolish those slow motion fucks

          Actually, the most bad ass port of the game arrived on the PC-Engine.
