Street Fighter Online: Mouse Generation (ストリートファイター オンライン マウスジェネレーション) is a fighting game produced by Daletto (a joint venture of Capcom and Games Arena) in association with Revoltech (an action-figure company), released for the PC in 2008. The game uses a PC mouse for combat, and the characters are customizable to some degree. The player chooses between characters which are action-figure versions of Street Fighter characters, licensed characters based on novels, manga and anime such as the characters based on the works by Wuxia novelist Louis Cha, and one real-life person.
While Mouse Generation can arguably be considered a Street Fighter game (as the name would suggest), it is actually a crossover game (like X-Men vs. Street Fighter or Street Fighter X Tekken), and as such it is not canon to the Street Fighter universe.
Gameplay[]
In-game Gashapon dispenser
Fighters are controlled by mouse movements, mouse buttons and the scroll wheel. Characters in the game were apparently action-figure versions of the actual characters, using Revoltech's action-figure 3D engine. As such, fighter's body parts could be switched and customized. The character models were designed to look like the action-figure of the characters, with blocky limbs and visible joint screws. While this engine allowed for "maximum flexibility", it made the character models "revolting".[1]
The game was free to play. Daletto's revenue came from micro-transactions, through a store, and through in-game Gashapon dispensers (licensed from Bandai). Players were able to purchase extra body parts and outfits, to further customize their characters. Some purchasable items were fairly abstract, such as squid-shaped hats, as a cross-promotion with pre-existing squid-shaped USB thumb drives.[2][3]
