Retronauts Episode 753: Street Fighter V
The absolute worst thing to happen in 2016?
The year is 2026 and Capcom seems to be firing on cylinders, am I right? New Resident Evil making bank, more Monster Hunter on the way, plus an interesting looking original title that's not a sequel or a spinoff—we love to see it.
Ten years ago, however, the former Capsule Computers had a lot fewer reasons to celebrate. Resident Evil had an uncertain future, hardly anyone outside of Japan cared about Monster Hunter, and the company launched a new Street Fighter game to jeers from the crowd.
That last point is of utmost importance because on the podcast this week we're looking back at Street Fighter V, the software equivalent of a bag-fumble. It's not all bad news, though; host Diamond Feit along with Kevin Bunch, John Learned, and Brian Clark highlight the positives as well as the negatives.
Description: The virtuous Diamond Feit, valiant Kevin Bunch, voluminous John Learned, and vindictive Brian Clark venture back 10 years to assess the value of (and possibly vindicate?) Capcom's Street Fighter V.
