<p><a href="http://ift.tt/2m62TDp">As caught by Eurogamer</a>, <em>Street Fighter IV</em> is coming back. Microsoft&#8217;s adding it to the Xbox One&#8217;s backwards compatibility library, joining an increasingly extensive list of old classics (and forgettables), ranging from the entire <em>Bioshock</em> series and <em>Gears of War</em>, to fellow fighters like <em>Tekken 6</em> and <em>King of Fighters 2012</em>.</p>
<p>&#013;</p>
<p>But the relevance of this news isn&#8217;t just a matter of an old title being accessible on new hardware. <em>Street Fighter IV</em>, in the face of the criticisms levied at its successor, has recently been seeing something of a revival. As of about five months ago, Japan was still <a href="http://ift.tt/2eh69Dw">very much into <em>IV</em></a>. Last month, <a href="http://ift.tt/2lGxsOw">we interviewed Javits</a> about the continued popularity of the game as well. In fact, CCG 2017 is explicitly a <em>Street Fighter IV</em> revival event.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s uncertain whether the updates to it, such as the <em>Ultra</em> release, will be similarly added.</p>
<p>&#013;</p>
<p><em>Street Fighter V</em> has been <a href="http://ift.tt/2nEXKhK">patched repeatedly thus far</a>, but still faces significant criticism &#8212; the temporary removal of &#8220;invincible&#8221; dragon punches being a major alteration of a formula that&#8217;s lasted since <em>Street Fighter II. </em>The next major patch is expected in April.</p>
