Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo wasn’t actually popular initially. Released shortly after Street Fighter Alpha 2, this game was a completely different approach from Capcom’s usual outings, being a 1v1 puzzle game borrowing elements from Compile’s Pnickies and Sega’s Baku Baku. This game would be the first game where Darkstalkers and Street Fighter would mix, with a real-deal fighting game in the style appearing the next year. Puzzle Fighter really picked up steam after its Playstation port, and has been ported to nearly every console since.
So I’m going to go through the various ports, starting with the Arcade machine and going through the unique aspects of the ports.
