Street Fighter II Championship Edition for the Genesis sees release in both the US and Japan today.  I remember this was the first Genesis game that I ever really looked forward to playing as a lad.  I also remember being disappointed by it because man SFII and Turbo were just awesome.  Or maybe I simply wasn't properly hyped on the game. 

Who the hell is that Christopher M. Mole guy?  Being way too enthusiastic about fighting 'strategies' encompassing little more than reading from the game's instruction booklet about moves you can perform?  Showing a couple hilariously Jap-o-riffic ads?  Tiger electronics?  Rock-em-sockems?  Yeech.

Reckon I said something about new content being here at around this time or earlier.  Reckon there's none here as of this time.  If I was worried about looking cool, I would say that the primary reason for this lapse is because of my awesome, high-paying, globe-trotting job, tending to the dreams of my stable full of girlfriends and suring up my exponentially growing bank account in these trying economic times.  If I was worried about looking cool, though, I certainly wouldn't have started a website about video games, nor would I have called it something as ridiculous as this.

Delays here are for gamer-riffic reasons.  Yeah, Lost Odyssey, Mega Man 9 and Dragon Quest IV have taken the time I would be spending writing here.  Not entirely accurate, but enough not to merit further explanation.  Take comfort in the fact I haven't strayed from the hobby.  Or take comfort in the fact I'm moving on to games less likely to dominate my downtime.  Or better yet, don't take any emotional stock in how I decide to squander my time.
