“You’re the best, around! Nothing’s gonna ever keep you down!” that’s the theme song to this new trailer for Capcom’s upcoming Super Street Fighter II Turbo: HD Remix which is scheduled for release in just nine days from now, on November 27th, 2008.

The game completely remixes the original Super Street Fighter II Turbo with upgraded HD character artwork (drawn by UDON Entertainment, who also did the Street Fighter comic book series), remixed music by the awesome video game fan remixer site OverClocked Remix (which I urge everyone to check out, it’s a great site with some great music) and, of course, full online play. You’ll also have the ability to play the original version of Super Street Fighter II Turbo, either without the HD graphics or without the remixed music.

Features of Super Street Fighter II: HD Remix include:

* Classic/Remix (Rebalanced) Arcade mode
* Online and offline multiplayer
* A training mode
* Hit box display
* Both remixed and classic music
* Voice chat
* A ‘Quarter Match’ mode which allows players to spectate and jump into online matches simulating the arcade environment
* 8 player tournament mode
* Worldwide rankings and leaderboards arranged by character and country
* In-depth statistics tracking
* A display mode that fits the game into a 16:9 aspect ratio without impacting gameplay

Watchmen: The End of Nigh is a videogame prequel to the comic books (as previously announced) and the upcoming Watchmen movie (which hits theaters in March of 2009) and is being developed by Deadline Games.

They worked in conjunction with Zack Snyder (who directed the movie), the original Watchmen illustrator Dave Gibbons, and veteran comics author (and Alan Moor’e original mentor on the Watchmen series), Lein Wein, who co-scripted Watchmen: The End of Nigh with Peter Aperlo and Zack Snyder.

EGM will have the exclusive scoop in this month’s issue which will blow the doors open on the game. Although 1-Up also revealed a few more details on the Watchmen prequel, including the fact that it will be an episodic game (published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment) and downloadable.

The game will naturally flesh out many of the brief flashbacks hinted at in the graphic novel and will help fill in blanks for the upcoming film when they hit Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation network next year.
