Play Street Fighter II (YOKO) Online

Game Overview

Street Fighter II (YOKO) on NES is a stripped-down but weirdly charming port of the arcade classic. The sprites are chunky, the animations stiff, and the controls take some getting used to—but once you adjust, there's still that satisfying core of landing combos and reading your opponent.

Picking Ryu or Ken feels familiar, though the special moves are harder to pull off than they should be. The AI isn't brilliant, but it'll punish you if you just button-mash. I remember losing three matches in a row before realizing I had to actually time my dragon punches instead of spamming.

It's rough around the edges, but if you grew up with the NES, there's something nostalgic about seeing Street Fighter II (YOKO) running on that hardware. Just don't expect the arcade experience.
