The debate over the golden age of fighting games rages on. Was it the 90s, with classics like Street Fighter III? The 2000s, with the rise of Guilty Gear? Or perhaps the 2020s, dominated by titles like Tekken? Regardless, it's hard to deny that Street Fighter IV played a pivotal role in revitalizing the fighting genre.
Now, thanks to Netflix Games, you can dive back into the action with Street Fighter IV: Championship Edition. This iconic title brings over 32 fighters and 12 classic stages to your screen. Whether you're a fan of the legendary duo Ryu and Ken, returning favorites like Elena and Dudley from Third Strike, or new additions such as C. Viper and Juri Han, there's a character for everyone.
The best part? You only need a standard Netflix subscription to get in on the action. Enjoy both online multiplayer and offline solo play, and yes, controllers are supported—although you'll need to navigate the menus with touch controls (no word yet on fight-stick compatibility).
