desk reimagines Street Fighter V in the style of Street Fighter II: The World Warrior

Combo video maestro desk has released a new video re-imagining the sound and visuals of Street Fighter V in the style of Street Fighter II: The World Warrior. Inspired by the game’s recent addition of the classic Street Fighter 2 soundtrack, desk arranged parts of the Street Fighter V character select song and Karin’s theme using sounds from the CPS-1 arcade board and recreated the game’s UI to match the classic yellow and red health bars of Street Fighter II.

The attention to detail is rather astonishing; desk went out of his way to include reproduce the sound effects for individual hits used in Street Fighter II and used a bitcrush effect to make character voices and unique sound effects match the classic style. With the video, desk said he intended to create the sort of visual package he would buy, if it were released as DLC. The end result is the product of more than 100 hours of work and reflects a creativity that expands beyond the game.

You can read more about how desk developed Street Fighter 5: The World Warrior in the video’s description; a free music pack containing the tracks in the video along with a new CPS-1 arrangement of Guile’s theme and a Megadrive arrangement of Juri’s theme is available via Bandcamp.

Here’s what Dissidia Final Fantasy NT’s box art will look like in Japan

Some time back, Square Enix revealed how the box art for Dissidia Final Fantasy NT would look like in the West. As is usually the case for these things however, Japan (and likely most other Eastern markets) will get their own unique box art.

While the Western version’s cover for Dissidia Final Fantasy NT focuses on just three characters – Cloud Strife, the Warrior of Light, and Claire “Lightning” Farron — the Japanese box art showcases as many characters as possible. Specifically, the cover art (which you can see below) features just about all of the “hero”‘ characters coming in from the various Final Fantasy games, starting the aforementioned Warrior of Light from the first Final Fantasy all the way to Noctis from Final Fantasy XV.
