Street Fighter IV: Champion Edition Netflix edition will soon offer the popular fighting game for free (with the price of admission)
Free hadoukens, everyone
- No ads or in-app purchases with a Netflix subscription
- Mobile optimisations abound
- Controller support included
If you're an arcade fan and you still haven't got a Netflix subscription in this day and age, this might somehow change your mind - Street Fighter IV: Champion Edition has just tech-launched on the subscription service, which means you can enjoy the beatdown on your mobile device with no pesky ads and predatory microtransactions included.
Yes, Netflix has been steadily growing its library of mobile offerings recently, and despite a few of them going under the radar, it's hard not to see the appeal of being able to play these popular adventures free of charge. You do, of course, need to have a subscription to the streaming service, but it does seem like a small price to pay to have unlimited access to this lineup.
This time around, Ryu and Ken will be joining the fray with special mobile optimisations to boot, as well as adjustable difficulty settings and handy tutorials to help you get the hang of things on your device.
Of course, as with any fighting game, the touch controls might be a bit of an issue for you, but at the very least, there's controller support during fights to help you out if you're having trouble.
