I have seen Super Famicom Street fighter II

[Lawrence Chiu]

Hi, my supplier just sent me a videotape of Super Famicom Street Fighter II.
Graphics look fine, but the game play from what I can see on the video is in
no shape or form releasable. The game is slower than Gradius III, I kid you
not.

Note that this is a preliminary Japanese copy and so these comments should not
deter you from hoping for an accurate SF or SNES Street Fighter II. But init-
ial impressions is poor indeed.

Yeah, I thought that might be the case (extreme slowdown for SNES SF2)...
But someone mentioned that the game is supposed to be $75-$100... I figure
that Capcom's best answer to the slowdown (since everyone who owns a SNES
will be buying the game unless it's as good as possible) is to include a
processor WITHIN the cartridge, to run in parallel with the laughably slow
SNES processor. I'm hoping for this, even though I'd PREFER that the extra
processor be a hardware add-on that you could stick on the SNES's circuit
board (or the thing at the bottom). I HAVE heard about a 33 Mhz add-on...
just a rumor though.

Now that's something interesting: bus mastering on a game system.

Next you'll be telling me the operating system is pre-emptive.
Or that the ethernet option is coming next year. :-)
