Street Fighter II' Hyper Fighting was a big hit on Xbox Live Arcade, despite the horrendous pain and frustration of trying to play the game using the 360 d-pad. It's pretty clear there is a market for older 2D fighters on the service, considering that finding them at retail is difficult and online play is a powerful feature. Everyone likes playing fighting games against other people, and no one likes to lose, so being able to play online and blame your loss on lag is the best of both worlds.
