Ultra Street Fighter II Is Punching Its Way Onto Switch On 26th May Worldwide

It's a rip-off price. That's €40 when converted and likely more expensive by the time it gets here. Capcom trying to make a quick and cheap buck.

Yup, sounds right. Just in time for EVO players.

Here's hoping it doesn't take too long to come here.

I done a currency exchange from Yen to Euro. It is exactly €41 at the moment while the eShop version is €38. I'll mostly likely wait for a sale when the game is out.

So $40, give or take? Plus you need a Pro controller to play it properly. Ick.

$40 for Street Fighter 2?!?!?! WHAT!!!

Insane pricing. Sho ryu can't do better, Cacpom?

They really missed a trick leaving out Spiteful Chun Li, Unpleasant Zangief, and just plain mean Guile.

I'll be sadly skipping this purely because of the price. Outrageous!

Rip Off. If it was a collection of games I'd totally buy it though.

MAY?! Aww...I was hoping it would be sooner. Would have been great for my lunch breaks. Ah well I can wait. Please port 3rd Strike Capcom...please?

Edit: Apparently I am the only one not bothered by the price...

On the one hand, you'd be telling Capcom that we want more fighters on the system if we brought it day one.

But on the other hand, SSFIV 3D on 3DS did not take long before becoming a £5 game, so.....

If it was Alpha 3 or 3rd Strike maybe but...nah. Not at this price.

Just an odd thought, but what if Capcom took a risk, & launched it, digital-only, for about $5-20, $15's better(a sweet spot), & see how much they could make on that, as opposed to $40, or $50.

Then Capcom can do more, than just putting X in the next "Marvel Vs. ..." game. They can actually, I dunno, make a Mega Man game. Classic, &/or X, please, & thank you, Capcom.

Is the Switch cartridge so expensive for game developers ?
We saw price range from $40 - $60 so far...

@Anti-Matter: $40-60 is usually the cost (to the consumer) of new video games. Supposedly, when all is said, & done, this is the cheapest most retailers claim they can go, before they make no more profit on the game.

Can't wait to play with assertive Bison, depressive Chun Li, calm Blanca, nice guy Vega, troublemaker Camy, scared Zangief and exalted Guile!

$39,90 ? No thanks, thats only Zelda for me until MK8 DLX ...

Will be picking this up.. however.. this seems somewhat overpriced compared to what it should be..

Early Switch adopters may not necessarily like waiting, even just 2 months for this. I'm referring to the update that the release date also applies to U.S. Edit: Though, my point is also valid for the other territories, too.

They are really dropping the ball on this. The reaction to the pricing is completely negative on twitter.

$39.99 is how much Street Fighter 5 costs right now, and it's been on sale for cheaper

It's insane they think a port of a 26 year old fighting game with 2 extra clone characters is the same value

Would've jumped on $30 with Best Buy Gamer's Club dropping the price to $24. Even $32 is a bit much for what it is, though would like to have the cart.

Lol that price tag!

Nintendo does what other companies do not.

I hope Nintendo games will be cheaper when they are released like 6 months. New games always the top price but if you wait a bit you can get it for a lower price..... I'll wait. but 40 euro is too much

@jwfurness
I'm used to $20 games selling for $30 physically, and $30 games selling for $40 physically.

As long as it's on a cartridge I'm fine. Especially, as you said, with GCU discount taking it down to $31.99

Wow. That price. Really surprising me.
Actually it's on the Nintendo eshop so everything's over priced.

Wow just wow

@JaxonH Yep, always glad to pay a little extra for a cart, if reasonable. Hoping some of the bigger indies (Yooka, Fast RMX, Rime) get a physical release.

Super Street Fighter II HD Remix.

The game will hit the PlayStation 3 on November 25, a full day earlier than the Xbox 360 version. It'll run $14.99 on the PS3.

Take note of the above statement. Same game with two new characters. Lol at the $40 switch price. Bomba guaranteed.

$40 + cost of pro controller to play the game properly.

$100+ to play a game released for $15 over 5 years ago.

Just let that sink in people

Can't justify buying this until they make a decent value pro controller. It will cost almost £200 on top of the Switch to play this properly with 2 players

Why is this so far away! This should be a launch title!

Day one oh boy!

The f**k!? SFV is currently available for less. Shocking. Absolutely shocking.

@Rocossa Well you have to rememebr it also includes that gimmicky first person motion control game. But yeah, still not worth $40. I would have maybe bought for $29.99 at most just because of the nostalgia factor.

Too late and too expensive. I'll scoop it up if it goes on sale.

The game it is based on cost $15 when it launched 9 years ago. 5 years ago it launched as part of a Digital Collection on Xbox 360, where for $40 you got it and 7 other games on a single disc.

Does a first person minigame, 2 variant characters and an art gallery warrant almost tripling the price?

Capcom can spinning bird kick themselves right off a bridge.

Wow, I was really looking forward to buying it for 9.99, which seemed the only reasonable price point.

@Ryu_Niiyama "Please port 3rd Strike Capcom...please?"

seconded...

@Decapre I believe Capcom is the one who put this price, not Nintendo.

@Azooooz I don't think so, Nintendo is still selling decade old games like Star Fox 64 3D for 39.99.

And there's also Mario Kart 8 Deluxe being 59.99 for god knows why...

Lol. That price. Even at less I'd have to think about it as I'd rather play SFV. If only that one wasn't exclusive.

$40 in the US is pretty high. Is this coming out physically?

@Decapre It makes perfect sense for MK8 to be full price, even if we don't like it. Wii U sold like garbage, MK8 is not very old. Assuming the switch actually sells pretty well, it's a safe bet to assume that most Switch owners do not already own MK8 on the Wii U. People that already have MK8 for Wii U are free to skip it on Switch... but who am I kidding? I know I'll probably end up buying it again, if for no other reason than to be able to take it on the go and for the (likely) more active online community. And for people like me, and presumably you, it is a pretty crappy deal...

As everyone has already said, that price is crazy, especially as I paid something like £10 for the exact same thing on Xblah.

I would pay that much for a Final Fight HD though, but I really love that game!

Dat price! Lol.

Ok... Now we are facing the truth, and we can't handle it. Nobody was really - REALLY - hyped with this SF. Everyone thought it would be priced like the hd remix for ps3/x360. Then it would be something cool as a launch title. But that was not capcom's plan. And people are not sad only because of this price, but also it won't be a million seller success, and most of the people here are fed up of seeing crappy ports not selling well and reading that "nintendo customers don't buy our games".

(Insert comment whining about the price) ... Oh hey. May 26th? That's my birhday. Neat. I mean. GRRRR!! It's so expensive and releasing so late! How dare they!!

Day one purchase for me

I'd think about it for $15, and definitely get it for $10. But $40? No sir.

And this is coming from someone who isn't that annoyed by the pricing of Bomberman R.

Replace Ryu with this game and Ken with the Switch (and, by extension, Nintendo's) audience and you get the situation.
WARNING: Explicit lyrics ahead.

Good luck playing this overpriced game with your joy-cons. So many things wrong with this.

For this price, they should have bundled it with a proper fighting pad. Then it would have made sense

Good god almost as bad as the price set for bomberman R!! What are these guys smoking?? Both should be $20 each tops!!

$40? Dang...

If it was a simple port I'd be shaming it along with you guys... But they actually rebuilt the game from the ground up for this version... Also, unlike the PS3 and 360 versions of SF2HD, this one will include the classic visual style as well. I know, it sounds like I'm defending for silly reasons, but the fact they rebuilt this game from the ground up definitely helps with the price a little bit...

@Bender

Exactly. The game will have the HD mode, 16 bit mode, first person mode, two new characters, online lobbies and a spectator drop in mode and we still have people whining. I know I'll be all over this game and that box art is dope. To each their own.

@Decapre Star Fox 64 3D was only $19.99 at Best Buy though, not too long after its release.

$39.99!? What the hell! No version of Street fighter 2 is worth forty bucks. Terrible pricing.

@NTELLIGENTMAN Not on the eshop.

40$ and they covered Cammy? Wow. Capcom might as well go the way of Legends 3 and cancel themselves.
Seriously mad that Capcom has buried it's best properties with all their Nintendo-esque bs.

@Ryu_Niiyama I 'd love a 3rd Strike port(with online), even willing to pay $50 for it! But $40 for sf2? I'll be fine without it.

"Lol." Just "lol."

That's what I paid for SSF4 SIX years ago when that launched alongside the original 3DS (and had considerably better production values and 3D graphics). I can also grab SF5 for less than half the asking price for this on PC.

I'll probably grab this at some point, but only once it's dirt cheap. AU$60 is disgustingly overpriced for such a simplistic looking 25 year old game. This is just extreme laziness on Capcom's part. Ultra Street Fighter IV on Switch would have been preferable to this. I have no nostalgia for the poor quality and collision detection of the old games. Keep the past in the past. There are plenty of indies around to pump out games with antiquated production values. FYI, we expect better from major publishers.

If retailers sell it for say AU$45 at launch, then I may bite (if there are a lack of games, however, Fire Emblem Echoes is being released that month, so...). Yo, Capcom. Where are them Resident Evil games at? Isn't it about time Nintendo players finally get to play Revelations 2?

Whilst everyone is crying about the price i am actually genuinely looking forward to this game. I love SF2 and whilst this is a only slightly altered version of HD it is still a new game in the franchise and im definitely getting it.

I'm interested in this. But for that price... no. I'm not sure.

40€ o_O

Capcom and Konami should've done a reality check and half the prices of their Switch launch games.

I would need a pro controller to play this too.
And everyone thought super bomberman r was pricey

I love that box art.
