'Street Fighter II' is getting a gorgeous Super Nintendo re-release for its 30th birthday

It's hard to believe, but it's been nearly 30 years since "Street Fighter" first debuted. Though few people now remember the original game, the sequel — "Street Fighter II: The World Warrior" — is a classic. 

And thus, in celebration of the release of the original game, Capcom is re-releasing "Street Fighter II" (the sequel) on a Super Nintendo cartridge — which you'll need a Super Nintendo to play.

The special edition re-release of "Street Fighter II" is limited to a run of 5,500, and red is just one of two colors it's being offered in.

If you want to get your hands on this puppy, you'll need to first prepare your wallet: The re-release of the Super Nintendo version of "Street Fighter II" costs a whopping $100.

It comes with more than just the cartridge, of course. There's a whole package involved. For instance, the game comes with a "premium" instruction manual (seen below).

It also comes with a special "tri-fold" box, seen here. It may look like an original Super Nintendo game box, but don't get it twisted — this is something entirely different.
