Arcade1Up – Street Fighter II Big Blue Arcade

Established in the early ‘80s, Capcom derived its name as a clipped compound of “Capsule Computers”; their own terminology for arcade games. Taller than any of Arcade1Up’s current line up! While Capcom got the attention of video game enthusiasts with some early hits, it was their release of Street Fighter II that absolutely revolutionized the fighting game genre. The first one-on-one fighting game to feature a variety of characters with their own unique martial arts combinations, the Street Fighter franchise became an arcade phenomenon with the attack cry of “Shoryuken!” entering the pop-culture lexicon.
