Oh nostalgia! How people love to reminisce about days gone by.

The rock band KISS lost a lot of steam once they removed the makeup but when they returned with the original lineup and look back in the mid-nineties, they began to sellout arenas again.

When the movie Transformers came out last summer, toy store shelves were once again lined with “Robots in Disguise”—just like in the eighties.

If you rewind to the summer of 1991, you might remember seeing pre-pubescent and teenage males changing bills for quarters and lining up outside arcades and corner stores just to have a shot at playing the Street Fighter II: World Warrior video game.

Fast forwarding to the present, there seems to be a wave of Street Fighter nostalgia with the impending release of Street Fighter IV and re-release of Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting as well as an upcoming movie based on SFII character Chun-Li and CryptoLogic is also getting in on the action with its release of a SFII-based slot game.

It’s not the first time CryptoLogic has done character-based slots as it has worked with Marvel Comics a number of times in the past and that was something that worked in the company’s favor when negotiating with Capcom (SFII’s developer and publisher).

“[Our work with Marvel] did factor in a great deal,” CryptoLogic VP of Marketing and Product Management, Justin Thouin explained to WinnerOnline.
