In the first month of this year, EB Games Canada tweeted news about Street Fighter V: Champion Edition coming to the Nintendo Switch. It caused quite a stir on social media until it was confirmed as an error. Street Fighter's executive producer Yoshinori Ono even joked how it was news to his own team at the time.
This short-lived announcement obviously left many Switch owners wondering if Nintendo's hybrid system would receive any other Street Fighter games during its lifespan, and in an interview with US Gamer – dating back to last month – Ono said it could happen if there was another opportunity that made sense.
Since the Switch came out, we’ve released Ultra Street Fighter II and Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection for that platform. From a business standpoint, these two titles were a success. We are seeing many competitive titles, including Smash Bros., doing well on Switch and players are enjoying those types of experiences on that platform. If there is another opportunity that makes sense for us, we would consider the Switch again. Regarding Street Fighter 5, it is currently exclusive to PS4 and PC. However, as mentioned above, we do see Switch as an important platform for all types of games.
This follows on from Ono's comments in October last year when he said fans needed to "convince" Nintendo – not Capcom – for more Street Fighter games on the Switch, as Nintendo was supposedly the one to approach the Street Fighter team on previous occasions.

That's a misleading subtitle.
Awaiting a new street fighter with soul caliber like game mechanics!
Just release a proper 2D Street Fighter from PS2 version (Street Fighter Alpha Anthology & Street Fighter III 3rd Strike Fight for the Future) on Nintendo Switch with louder sounds and All hidden characters for SF Alpha 3 (Dee Jay, Fei Long, Juni, Juli, etc) and Gill for SF III 3rd Strike.
The 30th Anniversary was a big disappointment for me.
Very quiet sounds and hard to control with Joy Cons. 😣
Btw, i really want Pocket Fighter from PS1 version get ported to Nintendo Switch.
Ah... The nostalgia of hilarious fighting. 😆
HELL YEAH I WOULD!!!!
How about some of the vs games or just give us Capcom Vs SNK 3!
Just make a new streetfighter in the way you did Third strike.
Or something like capcom vs snk
@Anti-Matter
I got a pro controller day one as they said ultra street fighter II was coming out. I can not use the joy cons my hands are too big.
Love me some Streetfighter. Would love some more games from capcom. So many great IP that seem to be going to waste. They are knocking it out park with res evil but would be great if they focused on other properties as well.
I just want Ultra Street Fighter IV for the Switch. Is that too much to ask?
The ps3 and xbla got proper online-enabled, feature-rich versions of Third Strike and Darkstalkers. Maybe release these versions on Switch?
Btw, since Capcom is really good at making 2D fighting games, why don't they consider to make Chibi Boxing game with 2D fighting style, Super Art meter and goofy fighting like Pocket Fighter ?
I really love to see a Cute Cartoonish Boxing game with gameplay like 2D fighting style but with 3D environment like SF IV or SF V. 😀
I could see a port of IV eventually happening.
Street fighter for switch. Just give us ports and ports of ports.
/s
Curious of the wording “Currently Exclusive”.
I bought USF II day one, I've also bought all the Mega Man games, the Resident Evil Revelations Collection and RE 5. There's a huge market for Capcom games on Nintendo platforms and it's brain dead that Capcom needs to be 'convinced.' The system is popular in Japan, Capcom is a Japanese company. If it can support Xbox the way it does there's no reason not to also support the Switch. SF V is likely out of the question, due to Sony's money hat, but no reason Ultra Street Fighter IV couldn't show up. Hell 3DS got a version of SF IV.
I would rather just released a new remastered or collection of these instead of any Street Fighter.
Darkstalkers Collection
Power Stone 1 & 2 or a new Power Stone 3
Rival Schools HD Remastered
Project Justice: Rival Schools 2 HD Remastered
Rival Schools 3
Marvel vs. Capcom HD Collection
Capcom vs. SNK HD Collection
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom HD Remastered
Final Fight HD Collection (a Final Fight collection that includes Final Fight CD, FF2, FF3, FF Revenge, Mighty FF, SF 2010: The FF, and FF Streetwise would be awesome).
Star Gladiator HD Remastered
Plasma Sword: Star Gladiator 2 HD Remastered
Just port the superior version of Street Fighter Alpha 3 instead of the lame arcade one and I'm on board
I would love Street Fighter IV or V (when the exclusive drops). And of course I would never say no to 3 with like some ultimate edition.
@NicolausCamp this was my first thought... 3DS has a fairly competent version of SFIV, so surely an almost PS3/X360 quality port should be easy enough?
More Wii era PR speak from a Capcom
@GrantM3
Then it isn't Street Fighter.
Capcom, get Ultra SFIV on Switch asap.
At this point SFV, or at least SFIV, should be on Switch.
SFIV ultimate all bells and whistles edition on Switch please.
Just gimme a nice running version of sfIV with all content and I'd be happy
Ultra Street Fighter IV. You know the title that you snubbed the Switch on? Put your money where your mouth is Ono. I swear he drives me nuts.
Personally, I'd rather see the latest Dead or Alive and Soul Calibur games come to Switch. The Street Fighter series has gotten too elitist without any care for any decent kind of accessibility for anyone less skilled than elite players (save for the touchscreen shortcuts on the 3DS).
@MadMaestroNole There's always "Super Street Fighter IV" on 3DS.
Too bad Capcom doesn't see the Switch as that important.
Nope. The new Era of Capcom fighting game disappoint me... Sf4 sf5 mvc3 mvc4 are ****. I'd love to see mvc2 or darkstalkers series on switch
@Eddyson Is it?
@GVIL playing fighting games with joycons is a sin. You made the right move!
Just release 4 and MVC please, if they can't do 5.
SFIV and Capcom vs SNK 2 would do me. And Pocket Fighter while we're there.
A port of USFIV makes sense. Super was on the 3DS and was excellent. It's regarded by many as one of the best entries in the series. Exclusivity means 5 is unlikely. See what happens in the next 12-18 months, as we're surely due news on 6 soon. Capcom only confirmed plans to support 5 through to 2020, which they have done.
If you were able to get street fighter iv on 3ds, you can get v on switch.
Considering the current exclusivity of V transpiring with PS4 and PC, I think Ultra Street Fighter IV probably has the best chance and I’d be open to it. Include all previously released DLC, perhaps Switch specific features such as HD rumble, the optional touchscreen controls of the 3DS edition and we could have the definitive version of a fantastic entry in the series on our hands: I’d certainly be open to the concept.
dude just bring ultra street fighter iv nobody cares about V
"If there is another opportunity that makes sense for us, we would consider the Switch again."
Lines like this are basically fluffy ways of saying "nope." Kind of how like EA would always say the "liked the Switch" but put almost nothing on it for years. I don't miss EA games on the Switch, but I would say Capcom needs to step up their game a bit.
Just give us old games. We nintendo switch owners just want the decade old street fighter 4 or super street fighter 4 or arcade edition or the 2012 edition or the ultra version or the omega edition. Games PlayStation 3and Xbox 360 players have been playing online for over 10 years. Now it’s the switch turn to play this game online with joycons
How about be bold and create an original Street Fighter for the Switch? Or collaborate with Nintendo for an exclusive fighter? Darkstalkers is prime for a revival
I am so bloody sick of this ridicious mentality of having to convince companies that fans of game X want an entry on Switch!
The Switch has been selling like absolute mad for 3 years now. It's probably shipped around 60 million units by this point. That's not enough of an install base for you? Shove it! You're lying.
These companies would earn more respect if they were just honest and admitted they don't want to put the effort into making a game for Switch. Just be honest. Why is that so hard? Stop acting like fans have to prove anything. Everyone knows you don't hold that standard for Sony, MS, PS or even bloody MOBILE!
@BulbasaurusRex Really? I completed the SFV arcade mode on the normal difficulty in SFII, SFIII, SFIV and SFV modes losing about 5 rounds total and I am far from an elite player. I have to turn some of the older Capcom and SNK arcade games down to level 2 (or even 1 in the case of SSF2T) to be able to get through to the end. SFV may prove hard to master, but it is certainly accessible to newcomers.
@brunojenso I dunno, I think they changed it....
But now I'm second guessing myself...
Hey. Capcom.
Marvel vs. Capcom Collection.
That is all.
Street Fighter Swix confirmed
Hang on Capcom we want monster hunter 5 not Street fighter 5
I got USFII day one, the same with the 30th Anniversary Collection, but I sold that one eventually, since the Online didn’t work well. I’d gladly buy another SF game on the Switch
I highly recommend the Hori Split Pad Pro for playing Street Fighter and other fighting games handheld (and many other games too frankly).
If you can find one buy it as it is honestly a game changer.
......... Ok? ALMOST EVERYONE says the Switch is an important system! BUT how many of you are actually developing quality games for it? All I see is old ports and rehashes (not even remakes) from the major AAA devs followed by excuses when their already twice purchased games don't sell for the third or fourth time. 🤦♂️ The interesting thing is how the original excuse for Wii U was how it was underpowered compared to the PS3 and X360, yet here's the Switch which is underpowered and we have fledgling developers doing the jobs of AAA devs making their games work on an underpowered system 🤔
Not SFV because it's an exclusive, not SFVI because it will be too demanding for the poor old Switch...
Well, at least they could release, although it would be way too late, Ultra Street Fighter IV.
Put up or shut up
"we do see Switch as an important platform" But not important enough it seems.
Ultra Street Fighter 3: The Final Challengers? The true, full roster including Juli, Juni, and Ingrid? With a few new pallet swaps like violent Ken, Robo Zangeif, and Dark Sakura? Sign me up!!
Note: I might have gotten 3rd strike mixed in here, but I'll take Ultra 3rd strike as well.
@NicolausCamp That is all I want. IV would be a mind-blowing addition for me.
I also wouldn't mind the complete version of Alpha 3, but am not sure if Sony made some deal for exclusivity since I have never seen it anywhere but on their platforms. CVS2 would be amazing too.
While we’re at it, can we Power Stone as well? That’s one of Capcom’s most underrated titles (as well as Gotcha Force and Zack & Wiki)!
I'd be happy with a Street Fighter IV port
@Heavyarms55 Nintendo is a different beast. Most people buy it for exclusives rather than as a primary system. Add to it the switch is the only handheld now.
It might just not be worth porting too. Although they could charge $60 for it.
@BulbasaurusRex I already have that version, but I'd rather have a more decent looking port I can play on a big screen with the hori split pad 😎
Still waiting for Dead or Alive on Switch.
Sure, I can butt battle Kasumi and friends in Xtreme 3 in the meantime, but... it's completely ridiculous to me that we got an Xtreme game before we got a main series Dead or Alive game on Switch.
Guile, & Chun-Li for Smash! Also Protoman, Bass, X, & Zero! Alternatively, Nintendo Vs. Capcom(!)
I'd love SFIV to be ported to the Switch; much better game than the (likely) exclusive-to-PS4 SFV.
Give me a port of USF4 and I’ll be happy
@Heavyarms55 These third parties always do this to Nintendo consoles. That's why I don't really support 3rd parties like that.
Capcom do not see the Switch as an important platform. 3 years in and what have they put on the Switch? nothing but old games that they overcharge for. Put your money where your mouth is Capcom. Get Monster Hunter on the Switch, then I might give a damn what you say
Monster Hunter of gtfo.
It would make the most sense to port USFIV considering every other previous main Street Fighter game is on the Switch. I highly doubt SFV would be ported to the Switch considering how involved Sony was with the development of the game.
@Trajan I'm also sick of this excuse "people only buy it for exclusives" and "Nintendo is a different beast". No one has ever shown me data that backs up that assertion.
@Heavyarms55 look at the top selling games and then also observe the power gap between its contemporaries.
There isnt even a first party controller with a decent D pad, and the internet is at mid 90s level. They might sell some fighting games, but that market is largely elsewhere.
When asked about SFV on Xbox, didn't this same guy say "If you want to play it buy a Playstation"
I won't hold my breath
Ultra Street Fighter IV with all costumes, including any limited edition tournament showpieces. It's the least you can do after stiffing Switch owners who bought the Street Fighter Anniversary Collection's Switch version with its monaural audio and myriad of other problems.
Right....
keeps scrolling
...
I'd buy Super Street Fighter 4 in a heartbeat on the switch! Make it so
@retro_player_77 Oh dear god yes please!!
No thanks, I have SF2 Turbo and Hyper. All the Street Fighting I need.
I want a 2D sprite based SF with every character ever from all SFs ever. Yes!!!
Bring Street Fighter IV to Switch!!!
Marvel vs Capcom series with all three online and Capcom vs SNK series with online. Past gen games should be no problem unless the Marvel licences is one.
Basically this guy said "we don't want to put the effort into making fighting games for Nintendo because games like Smash Bros will just sell more"
The way he said it is how you say things when you don't want angry fans snapping at your heels.
But if you read between the lines, you can see what he's saying.
I heard Nintendo's online is laggy for fighting games. I'll stick with PS4.
Capcom vs SNK is what they need to make available on any system. It's a sin you can only legally play those games on SD consoles.
Street fighter V and only street fighter V on switch. ASAP please
