This is the special championship edition by Radica, it contains 12 characters from the classic game and the special Mega Drive-style controller plugs right into your TV! It includes the bonus game Ghouls & Ghosts. Unit requires 4 "AA" batteries.
Great Retro Fun Very nice item to carry around with you during the holidays or when you suddenly have a craving to do dragon punches :). Although the packaging focuses more on Street Fighter II' Championship Edition (the included game is the Japanese version, Street Fighter II' PLUS), it also has Ghoul n' Ghost.
The two controllers are exact replicas of the 6-Button Japanese Mega Drive pads, albeit the lower quality of plastic used. But that didn't hamper your ability to do all the basic SF moves and long time players will feel right at home with the unit. Just be a little cautious while battling, as the reset button is just below the start button and accidentally pressing in will probably start a shouting match.
The only thing that causes this item to not get a 5 star rating from me is the picture quality. The composite connection is really showing its age now in this HDTV era, and it was really quite horrific when u plug it in to a LCD or Plasma Display (I tried mine on the BRAVIA-S). So if you still have some CRT TV around, use that instead, the picture quality are more bearable there.
So for all you Street Fighter Enthusiast out there, get this item. It's cheap and features free shipping. Mine came in exactly a week using airmail.
Overall, great retro fun for you Capcom and Sega Mega Drive/Genesis fans. Get it while it's hot :D
