TE For ?99

(All Gone)

Whoah, where was that?!

In a way I'm glad to hear even if I missed - I was thinking my TE for ?120 at ShopTo was too good to be true, and have been dreading the e-mail where they bump it to ?150.

[Oh! My Car!]

vaguely related, just to get you hyped ... not long now!!

"And here's a bonus little treat for y'all... Capcom, the creators of the timeless classic beat 'em up Street Fighter recently released the music and samples from Street Fighter 2 for musicians around the world to play with in preparation for the release of Street Fighter IV in late Feb this year, and Hexstatic jumped at the chance to work their magic with such a fine palette, and here's the result - Street Fighter II HD remix by Hexstatic"

It was posted on hotukdeals. The place was here

It wasn't something I was interested in so can't comment on their process or anything, but they wern't up long.

Never heard of that place. Always worries me for people when sites like that start handing em out dead cheap because their very limited everywhere in this initial batch and its going to be the bigger chains that will get em like Game group/Shopto/Play

[Mayhem]

Yeah exactly... and given the US price is $150 and the current drop in exchange rate, 100 quid would seem a bit... cheap. If you can call it that

[Soundwave]

I know they arent cheap but Amazon still have pre-orders up for the TE & Standard sticks @ £150 for the TE & £70 for the Standard.

I'm quite happy with my Hori so I'm not spending that much money on one...if they come down cheap then I'll get one but anything over £40 is pushing it IMO.

EDIT - Also Gameseek (Who look like a UK branch of Gamestop to me) have the TE for £140

Anyone else think some of the backgrounds look a bit crap? They remind me of KOF 99 Evolution on the Dreamcast. Which was great but it's been a decade since then.

The volcano one looks a bit bland, yeah. I originally thought the military airbase was the worst when looking at screenshots, but after seeing it in action, I found that one of the big bomber planes taxis past you as you fight with its long wing passing right above the fighter's heads. If you time it right (or wrong), you can dragon punch or be flung into the wing, busting it right off in the process. The soldiers in the background gasp and duck as it happens.

[Widegoat]

The "Historic Brewery" is also cool - sometimes after a number of throws the rack of beer barrels in the background collapses!

[wargame]

I like the Chinatown one at night and the US Drive in one looks nice too. Shame there is no stage set at night in the grass with mad moonlight like the very first ink trailer. In fact very disappointed that there is not a stage per character.

[TheForce]

I've ordered 2 gamepads via Amazon, it says it will be shipped at 23-02 ... But the closer the release of the games comes the more I'm thinking about getting the TE stick ....

I try to wait with the TE stick for the actual game to be released and when it has proper and stable online play and some proper online lobbies to see if it's really worth it..

SFIV intro. Sadly features somekind of Backstreet Bwoys music

Imagine that.. "I was not looking for Fei Long, Fei Long found meeee..."

If you're gonna add vocals to a Street Fighter game you need to use this guy..
