The provider will expand its portfolio of brands by adding the classic video game collaboration.
One of the best-selling arcade games of all time will be transformed for slot entertainment as NetEnt prepares to launch Street Fighter™ II: The World Warrior Slot™!
The new addition to the vendor's branded games hall of fame will feature all eight selectable iconic characters - Ryu, Ken, E. Honda, Guile, Chun-Li, Blanka, Zangief and Dhalsim - as well as boss battles with Balrog, Vega, Sagat and the truly evil M. Bison. Street Fighter II's genre-defining graphics, soundtrack and animation, as well as its gameplay, will be reflected as closely as possible to the original brand and game.
Created by Capcom, one of the world's leading video game developers and publishers, Street Fighter II: The World Warrior™ immediately captivated audiences around the world and was a record-breaking success when it launched in 1991, spawning several sequels and movies.
As the first one-on-one fighting game to allow players to choose from a variety of characters with unique fighting styles, it was the introduction of special move combinations that defined the game's quintessential gameplay.
"The release of Street Fighter II: The World Warrior™ took the arcade world by storm in the early 90s and today it is widely regarded as the ultimate classic video game that continues to entertain fans nearly 30 years later," says Bryan Upton, NetEnt's Director of Games.
"At NetEnt, we strive to provide content that, like Street Fighter, raises the bar in what is possible in gaming and we are extremely proud to be working with such an iconic franchise, especially something in line with retro trends at the moment. It's a dream come true to work on brands like these. Street Fighter II really allows us to bring something new and innovative to the market that nobody else can."
