The Genesis version of Capcom's fighter with four new faces, a solid conversion that sits right around the middle on price.
This is the Genesis version of Super Street Fighter II, known in Japan as Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers. Cammy, Fei Long, Dee Jay and T. Hawk join the roster, bringing the fighter count to 16. It is a 40-megabit cartridge, and in place of the Super NES game's win and lose messages it has extra announcer clips naming the fighters. Electronic Games reported in July 1994 that it would be the first 40-meg title for the Genesis.
Japan received it on 25 June 1994, North America on 7 July 1994 and Europe on 19 August 1994. GamePro called the Genesis game a solid conversion but thought its music and voices were weaker than the Super NES versions. Sega Retro lists it as working with XBAND.
What the press said at the time
| Computer + Video Games Issue 153 | August 1994 | Graphics 95, Sound 60, Playability 95, Value 80 |
| MegaTech Issue 33 | September 1994 | 96% |
“For major fans and people who don't yet own a version of SFII, this is a must.”
“Despite SSF I's excellence it's hard to recommend, primarily for its price … Brilliant stuff, but a Turbo version would have been even better.”
“Rent it first; if you don't mind the speed and you like the new characters, then get it.”
“It's SF witrh knobs on. Four extra characters and better gameplay make this the game of '94.”
How the Sega Genesis version differs
Unlike the Genesis version, the Super NES version had the blood on the characters' beaten-up portraits removed or replaced with sweat because of Nintendo's censorship policy.

Before you buy
Among US carts it sits about at the middle. A European loose cart usually costs somewhat more than the US one, and a complete European copy usually costs much more. The Japanese cart usually costs somewhat more loose and far more complete, and it has a different cartridge shape. A complete US copy means the case, the cartridge and the manual.
