Like a Hurricane: An Unofficial Oral History of Street Fighter II (FREE SHIPPING*)

(* free shipping only for shipping to addresses in Germany)

Like a Hurricane tells the story of the development of one of the most important and popular video games of all time - Street Fighter II - and its impact on the industry, its developers, and the gaming community that embraced it so enthusiastically.

Like a Hurricane is the result of several years of research by game designer Matt Leone and brings together over 60 voices from different continents, disciplines and companies who speak openly about the vision, fearlessness and bold ambition that made Street Fighter II a household name.

A collaboration between Read-Only Memory and Polygon, Like a Hurricane is an expanded and enhanced print version of Matt Leone's series of in-depth oral histories serialized online by Polygon. This physical version has been expanded and enhanced for print and includes over 50 specially commissioned illustrations and additional research content.

Featuring: Takashi 'Piston' Nishiyama, Hiroshi 'Finish' Matsumoto, Noritaka 'Poo' Funamizu, Yoko 'Shimo-P' Shimomura, and more than 50 others, including dozens of former Capcom employees, former Gamest magazine editor Zenji Ishii, combo video pioneer Tomotaka 'TZW' Suzuki, US Street Fighter boxing artist Mick McGinty, Incredible Technologies CEO Elaine Hodgson, and former Capcom USA CEO Bill Gardner.
