The CPS Changer was Capcom's answer to the Neo-Geo AES. Basically a glorified supergun, cartridges were surplus CP System PCBs encased in plastic shells. It was home to arcade-perfect versions of Champion Edition and Hyper Fighting, not to mention Final Fight, Captain Commando, and a scant few others.
Good luck getting your hands on one these days, though.
Holy shit !! I want this !!!

I'm sad this never took off like Neo Geo did.

Put me in the same group as the people posting SF2HDRM and PS360.
Love that game, easily my favourite version of SF2 and gutted it was never ported to PC - i would love a version ported to current gen and PC.

I saw the thread for this a couple of months ago and I was very intrigued. Looking at that direct feed screenshot it looks like the character sprites are pretty much the same resolution as the arcade version?
Capcom just shoved out very tokenesque ports based on the SNES code and assets to the Megadrive once it got too big for them to ignore on the international market. Their Japan-centric leadership never had much of a real commitment to the system. Had they put the same amount of effort into it as as SNK did for their 16-bit downports it could have been so much better.

Could always plonk down some cash on one of those Consolized CPS2 setups.

Fun Fact: Street Fighter 4 despite looking like a 3D game actually uses 2D hit-boxes for attacks and hit detection. So removing the 3D character models and leaving only the hit zones visible, One would not be able to tell the difference between 2D sprite based Street Fighter or the 2.5D Street Fighter IV, they are mechanically the same at it's core, unlike say something like Street Fighter EX that used 3D hit detection tied to the character models and objects on screen.

Even with its crappy sound, I've always favored the Special Champion Edition on Genesis because I love playing it with the six-button controller.
Yeah. It's the frames of animation that makes it feel weird to get back into.

HD remix is the definitive version for me. Cheap and easy to find too.
i would totally buy it today if they got a second stick controller to play with my buddies xD

the fact they let you use the original sprites but not backgrounds is still insane to me

I remember playing the Mega Drive version of SSF2: New Challengers
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Street_Fighter_II#Super_Nintendo
The Sega Mega Drive/Genesis version was released simultaneously with its SNES counterpart in all three regions. Although there are differences between the SNES and Genesis ports, the two versions are almost identical in terms of content. Like the SNES version, the Genesis port supported the XBAND online network (although only for its North American release). The Genesis version was released on a 40 Megabit cartridge, which allowed the inclusions of additional voice clips of the game's announcer which were missing from the SNES version, such as stating the names of the fighters, although the audio quality is not of the same level as the original arcade version. In the Options menu, the player can choose to play the Super Battle mode on "Normal" or "Expert" modes. The latter increases the number of opponents from the arcade version's 12 to all 16 characters. This version has been re-released on the Wii Virtual Console in Japan on November 8, 2011, the PAL region on April 12, 2012, and in North America on April 26, 2012.
Yeah, UD-CPS2 is good.
Not the backgrounds? are you sure? :O

Best art too.
There's a full pic of that crappy Ryu art somewhere and I can't find it.
yup. you could play original sprites over hd backgrounds. but thats it. no original backgrounds
it looks so bad with the old sprites on top of the new high res backgrounds
Well guess what, you'll pay $15 for each separately.

There weren't a lot of bad ports of the game. The 16-bit versions all ran at 256x224 and were missing backup animations, but they were still pretty awesome even if they weren't arcade perfect.

Gross! What a pixelated, overdetailed mess. I'm not touching this game until he's redrawn in the style of a Betty & Veronica comic.
