Konami and Capcom have been bitter rivals since the early days of arcade gaming, with each of them having a vast library of hit games created over the last 40 years. Today, they continue to compete in a new field: digital collectibles on blockchain, aka NFTs.
While Konami has released NFT memorabilia packs to celebrate Castlevania’s 35th Anniversary, Capcom had seemingly decided to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the Street Fighter series without digital collectibles… Until now.
HERE COMES A NEW ANNIVERSARY!
