Is there any videogame property which has been adapted more than Street Fighter? I mean, besides Pokemon? I doubt it. Previous attempts to bring Capcom’s premiere fighting franchise to the small screen were tepid at best, and the 90’s feature film, featuring JCVD as Guile - and an equally mis-cast (though easy on the eyes) Kylie Minogue as Cammy - is best left unmentioned.

What with the shiny new Street Fighter 3 on the way, however, the road has once again been paved to all sorts of SF tie-ins, including a brand-new ‘animated comic’ DVD courtesy of Eagle One Media. I have no idea how this will turn out, but according to CBR the first volume Street Fighter: Round One - FIGHT! won’t be out until February, 2009. If anyone caught the recent Watchmen animated comic on iTunes, that was actually pretty cool, so who knows…then again, that was given away for free. I’m guessing Street Fighter: Round One - FIGHT! will be at least $19.95 more than free.

…and god help me, I can’t help but to post another YouTube clip. Enjoy…
