Fizz Creations has packed STREET FIGHTER II: Champion Edition into a tiny HDMI dongle—no separate console required. Plug it into your TV, connect the power, grab one of the two wireless controllers, and you’re ready to fight… at least, that’s the promise. In this video, I unbox the Fizz Creations STREET FIGHTER II Duel Plug & Play, get everything connected, and put it through its paces. How do the unusual controllers feel? How well does the game play?

Let’s plug it in and find out! #fightinggames #retrogaming #fizz #genxgrownup @fizzcreations - SHOP https://genxgrownup.com/shopfizz http://genxgrownup.com/amazon http://GenXGrownUp.com/merch - PODCAST http://GenXGrownUp.com/pod - SUPPORT US https://patreon.com/genxgrownup - WEB & SOCIAL http://GenXGrownUp.com/discord https://twitch.tv/genxgrownup http://fb.me/GenXGrownUp https://bsky.app/profile/genxgrownup.com https://www.tiktok.com/@genxgrownup https://www.instagram.com/genxgrownup/ http://GenXGrownUp.com - SPONSORS Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv - CHAPTERS 00:00 SF2 PnP 01:25 Box & Contents 04:03 HDMI Brain 05:17 Real Manual 06:16 Controller Design 10:58 Power On 13:20 Ryu 14:55 Dhalsim 15:37 Blanka 16:57 Conclusion
