NetEnt, one of the leading games developers in the iGaming industry has transformed a world-famous arcade game into a slot game, releasing Street Fighter II: The World Warrior Slot™.
Street Fighter is one of the best-selling arcade games of all time, developed by Capcom™.
The game features a cast of eight original Street Fighter characters in the new 5-reel, 5-row Cluster Pays video slot. The player chooses a character and ventures into battle, closely resembling the original game. The player battles with opponents with the reels deciding which character wins.
The damage dealt to the character is determined by the winning combination. A battle with one character lasts until a character runs out of health points. If the player loses a fight, the Car Smash Bonus Game is triggered, where the player can win some prizes. If a player wins, the multi-level Beat the Bosses Free Spins feature is triggered, where Multipliers increase by the level.
The player is crowned the World Warrior Champion if all four bosses are defeated and is awarded an extra prize.
Representatives from NetEnt, which also recently debuted Gods of Gold: InfiniReels, say that they were under pressure to live up to the iconic 90s original and that authenticity was a critical factor. They are certain that the players will appreciate the game.
“In developing Street Fighter II: The World Warrior Slot™ we felt a huge responsibility to ensure our slot game lived up to the iconic 90s original – a video game which has continued to entertain fans for almost 30 years.”
“Authenticity was a critical factor to the design of this game, from the arcade-inspired art and sounds to the game mechanics, as well as the Beat the Bosses and Car Smashing bonus rounds. We designed the game to fuel players’ nostalgic competitiveness throughout the gameplay. We are immensely proud of the end product and we hope players all over the world appreciate it,” said Bryan Upton, Director of Games.
