STREET FIGHTER 2 JAPAN vs USA 👊🏻 Regional Differences

Street Fighter is on everyone's lips with the imminent release of SF6, but at Bits & Beats we always prefer to take a look back in video game history. For this #shorts we do a side by side comparison of the regional differences (Japanese vs US version) in the intro of Street Fighter II (Mega Drive vs Sega Genesis)

Why Street Fighter 2's black fighter was changed by a white fighter in western versions? Are you among those who think there were racist connotations or was the controversy exaggerated?#streetfighter #streetfighter2 #segagenesis #megadrive #fightinggames #bitsandbeats
