Capcom Arcade Stadium version of Street Fighter II removes the "Rising Sun" imagery from E. Honda's stage

GN Version 5.0

Street Fighter II aficionados have noticed something different with the version of Street Fighter II in Capcom Arcade Stadium.

As you might have spotted above, E. Honda's stage is looking a little different. The original version of the game featured imagery from the Rising Sun flag, which became known as the flag of the Imperial Japanese Army and Navy. This is a controversial image in parts of East Asia, which led to Capcom's removal of the imagery.

Capcom has altered E. Honda's stage to remove the imagery in other recent re-releases of Street Fighter II as well.
