If you remember playing the old-school Street Fighter II game on your retro Nintendo 64 game console then you should definitely check out these Street Fighter phone cases that commemorate several iconic Street Fighter characters.
Street Fighter is a vintage 8-bit video game that would pit various macho fighters against one another in cage-style battle arena. As the characters would battle one another with their cunning moves one would end up victorious and the other pretty badly injured. These Street Fighter II cases honor the popular video game with graphics of various badly injured characters. The characters are featured in their original pixelated designs with a comical "Continue?" question printed underneath. The same "Continue?" option would pop up at the end of every Street Fighter match to temp you to play again.
