History VideoGame / StreetFighter2010

'''''Street Fighter 2010: The Final Fight''''' is an early ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' spin-off released for the NintendoEntertainmentSystem in 1990. Set in the [[ExtyYearsFromNow distant and terrifying future of the year 2010]], ''2010'' deviates completely from the martial arts tournament format of the original ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterI Street Fighter]]''. Instead, it is a futuristic action game with emphasis on boss battles. 25 years after winning the first Street Fighter tournament, Ken has since become a gifted scientist, developing a new substance called Cyboplasm that gives subjects superhuman strength. When the Cyboplasm is stolen and Ken's lab partner Troy is murdered, Ken decides to take justice into his own hands by donning a cybernetic "Bionics" suit equipped with an interdimensional transporter, allowing Ken to pursue Troy's killer by tracking down traces of the Cyboplasm left behind across five different planets.

!!''Street Fighter 2010'' features examples of:
* BigBadFriend: The final boss is [[spoiler:Troy himself, who secretly implanted traces of the Cyboplasm into Ken's body and then faked his death in order to test out Ken's abilities.]]

* DolledUpInstallment[=/=]DivorcedInstallment: While the NES version stars Ken as a cyborg 25 years after the events of the 1987 arcade game, the Famicom version makes no attempt to tie its story with the rest of the ''Street Fighter'' saga and simply claims that the protagonist is a policeman named Kevin. It is unknown which of these two versions are closer to the developers' original intention, as the Japanese manual has a screenshot of the Vs. screen with the name "Ken" (rather than Kevin) on it.
* DubNameChange: Kevin to Ken and Dr. Jose to Troy.

* {{Zeerust}}: Remember back in 2010 when our Earth was being populated by space aliens and mutants and people could travel to other planets by using interdimensional warp gates? No? Neither do we.

* NintendoHard: ...Not that having unlimited continues makes the game any easier.

* ContinuingIsPainful: Ken can increase his shooting range by picking up power-ups. Dying once will revert him back to his default range. Some of the power-ups, namely the flip-shield and option capsules, are also hard to come by.

* DolledUpInstallment: The Famicom version barely had anything to do with ''Street Fighter'' to begin with, so the writers who worked on the English localization decided to rewrite the script and change the protagonist's identity from Kevin to Ken in attempt to tie ''2010'' to the original.
