News Capcom Says Ultra Street Fighter II And Monster Hunter XX Enjoyed Hit Status
Imagine if they released Monster Hunter outside Japan
Capcom’s support of the Nintendo Switch has been a little spotty to say the least, with many calling out the company for ho-hum ports of old games and its strange omission of a Switch version for new ones, like the Disney Afternoon Collection. Nonetheless, the company has brought some solid...

News Ultra Street Fighter II Was A "Smash Hit" On Switch, Says Capcom
But it won't divulge actual sales figures
Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers was Capcom's first major release for the Switch, but it came as something of a disappointment. Recycled content and a laughably poor first-person mode made it an unconvincing debut, despite the presence of that tried-and-tested Street Fighter magic. While the...

Here's hoping this lives up to the second game's legacy. I still have my SNES copy of "Super Street Fighter II", and it works brilliantly.
So, still no release date? Hope it's at launch week.
@Moviefan2k4 Yeah, but how often do you play your SNES game in the car or on the train. Also the classic graphics look terrible here; worse than the arcade version. The HD graphics look so much better to me even though purists hate it.
@Bass_X0 The SNES graphics will show up fine with a proper upscaler like the Framemesister, but that's not what I meant. The second game in the series is the one most people remember, whatever form it has currently taken. That's a very big legacy to honor, and if Capcom's not prepared they could easily screw it up. Just look at what they've done with Mega Man for that game's 30th anniversary...99% nothing.
Seems over-priced...
Got my pre-order in.
I’ve tried to give this game a chance, but I believe it will just become digital dust. First $40 was way too much, but I paid the price hoping to be amazed. The controls just seem off, but that could be because it’s an older game. I feel like Capcom is just trying to squeeze out money for this game. I’m sure many people also bought this game and I hope Capcom continues to release games for the Switch. Maybe Street Fighter 4 or 5 will be released next year. This was truly a Nostalgia purchase. Memories of great Arcade times, but without the line and being able to talk crap it falls short.
