Here’s Where You Can Vote on Fighting Games for Xbox One Backwards Compatibility

During their E3 2015 press conference on Monday, Microsoft announced that backwards compatibility will be rolling out on Xbox One sometime this holiday season. While the launch lineup is rather paltry, it was mentioned that they will be taking fan feedback into account when pursuing other titles.

In order to make this process a little easier, Xbox has opened up individual topics on their official forums for, if not the entire run of Xbox 360, a fair majority of releases from the previous console. As such, we’ve taken the opportunity to collect each and every fighting game and list them below for your convenience.

Before voting, please keep in mind that it’s still up to the publishers if these titles are included. Feel free to let us know which games you voted for in the comments below, and be sure to give us a heads-up if we missed any!

Street Fighter V Will Eventually Join the Capcom Pro Tour

In one of the most shocking reveals of E3 2015, Capcom community manager Peter “Combofiend” Rosas confirmed that Street Fighter V is set to join the Capcom Pro Tour during his time on Twitch’s official broadcast.

Established in 2013 with the Street Fighter 25th Anniversary tournament series, Capcom Pro Tour brings together some of the world’s strongest competition to face off in the studio’s iconic fighting franchise. While the game lineup has shrunk over the past couple of years, the same definitely can’t be said of the rewards. Thanks to their partnership with Sony, Capcom has put up an insane $500,000 prize pool for Capcom Cup 2015.

In all seriousness, Street Fighter V’s inclusion was a foregone conclusion. As Capcom Cup has shifted to focus entirely on Street Fighter, there was absolutely no way the upcoming title wouldn’t appear at some point. The only question now is how long Ultra Street Fighter IV will last with the sequel on its way.

For more on Street Fighter V, be sure to check out Heidi “Zerochan” Kemps’ hands-on impressions from her time with the game as well as a few more details from Rosas himself.
