As Capcom begins lining up plans for Street Fighter V at E3 2015 and continues dealing with the fallout from a subpar Ultra Street Fighter IV launch on PS4, today felt like a good time to take a trip back in time. It felt like a good time to return to the time of coin-op arcades in the early 90s, where Capcom was king. For this week's Shack's Arcade Corner, we take a look at Street Fighter II.

Join Greg Burke as he takes a look back at the original Street Fighter II: The World Warrior arcade cabinet, going into the history of the original game's development. He also takes a look at what would become a trend for Capcom, venturing into the game's many updates. Check out the history of Street Fighter II in the video below.
