[edit] SF2 HD Remix Beta

Players who purchase the Xbox Live Arcade version of Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 will receive the Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix multiplayer beta. Ken and Ryu are playable characters and a single environment available to fight in. The beta is scheduled to run for eight weeks, the purpose of which is to test the network code behind online play.[3] The performance of Street Fighter II Hyper Fighting online was "sometimes-sluggish",[4] according to GameSpot's staff, who suggested the beta test was Capcom's attempt to avoid the situation occurring again.[3][4]
