When you think of the all time great video game franchises, it's hard not to think of Street Fighter. Since it's debut, the series has been one of the greatest in the fighting game genre and helped popularize it thanks to Street Fighter II and it's enhanced versions. However, Street Fighter also has the strangest beginning in the history of video games. Unlike other series like Super Mario Bros., Metroid, The Legend of Zelda, Sonic The Hedgehog, and Castlevania to name some, the first Street Fighter game isn't one many have gone back to play like many first games and even stranger is the fact that it simply disappeared by the end of the 80s with most people first hearing about the series via Street Fighter II which was the game that launched the series to the stratosphere in 1991. This August marks the 30th Anniversary of the Street Fighter series so I've decided to write why Capcom should unearth the first series in one of their most beloved and treasured franchises.

Can Bellator MMA Overtake The UFC as Number One?

Since 2007, The Ultimate Fighting Championship has been the undisputed number one Mixed Martial Arts promotion in the world following Zuffa's (UFC's former parent company) purchase of the Japanese based PRIDE Fighting Championships. Since then, many companies have come and gone including those who tried to compete with the UFC such as EliteXC and Strikeforce while The UFC has come off untouchable. However, with recent events from The UFC as well as the rise of Bellator MMA since it's purchase to Viacom and former Strikeforce head Scott Coker as it's leader, the gap has gotten smaller. While Bellator MMA is still a long way from completely overtaking The UFC and won't do it tomorrow, the pieces are in place for them to one day do so and I'll explain why The UFC's time at top could be coming to an end eventually.

Happy 25th Anniversary (sort of) to the Kirby franchise as the first game Kirby's Dreamland debuted in America though it already came out in Japan in April. No better way to celebrate then with the Kirby victory dance.
