The debate over the golden era of fighting games has raged on for years. Was it the '90s, dominated by titles like Street Fighter III? The 2000s, with the rise of Guilty Gear? Or perhaps the 2020s, with Tekken's reign? Yet, one thing remains clear: Street Fighter IV played a pivotal role in rejuvenating the genre.
Thanks to Netflix Games, you can now dive back into the action with Street Fighter IV: Championship Edition. This edition brings you an impressive lineup of over 32 fighters and 12 iconic stages. Whether you're a fan of the classic duo Ryu and Ken, the returning Third Strike favorites Elena and Dudley, or newer characters like C. Viper and Juri Han introduced in this title, there's plenty to explore.
The best part? Accessing this game is as simple as having a regular Netflix subscription. You can enjoy both online multiplayer and offline solo play, and yes, controllers are supported—although you'll need to navigate the menu with touch controls (no word yet on fight-stick compatibility).
