Retro Gamer: A look back at Street Fighter character designs
I’ll admit it. I got sucked into the debate. When EGM first revealed details of Street Fighter IV, the internet was up in arms. People ridiculed the graphics to an incredible and inexcusable extent (after all, the game isn’t nearly completed). They mocked the character design, and put down the art style.
Then came the [...]
Street Fighter 4 characters revealed - Original 8 plus a new one!
Love it or hate it, Street Fighter 4 has a brand new, unique look. EGM had the world-exclusive when they revealed screenshots featuring Ken and Ryu. Then the internet exploded. Ryu looks too big! Their eyes are too round! Their feet are too big! Ryu has a boner! blah-blah blah.

1up.com has the EXCLOOSIVE FIRST LOOK~! at a game I am almost TOO hyped about - Contra IV. Just like New Super Mario Bros. is to the Super Mario Bros. franchise, Contra IV DS lets us forget about all the shitty ports that have been excreted onto the market…
