Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers is one of a few enticing titles due in May, and will hopefully make a mark at retail for the Nintendo Switch. Capcom's retro reimagining / remaster / sequel-thing looks rather fun, and could certainly appeal to gamers old enough to remember the 'original' and younger players with a taste for old-school gaming.
It's not far away, anyway, and the latest episode of Capcom TV is all about the upcoming Switch release. It's in Japanese and is a bit odd at times, but if you skip to the 8:45 mark there's a neat promotional trailer as a good starting point. The presenters then get stuck into various matches, and also mess about with the colour customisation on characters - with some odd results.
Are you looking forward to this one on Switch?

I just...I just wanna play it right now! Capcom why do you torture meeeeee?
Hmm if I know Capcom I'm better off holding out another 20 or so years for the Final Ultra edition, with much requested fan favorites such as Slighty Agitated Blanka, Alcohol Abusive Guile, & Ramen Chun Li.
I'm on to you Capcom!
I wanted this until I saw the price and said no.
Then out of boredom I played SF5 for the first time ever using the SF5 netcode free beta test a few weeks ago.
SF5 was so bad I can now justify the price of USF2 and will be getting it.
Capcom needs to have Hori make fight pads for the Switch. For the first time a Nintendo direction pad doesn't appeal to me (it's too flat), the Wii U Pro Controller is a lot better imo. And I'm not spending almost two hundred dollars for a fighting stick for this game. Old school SF is my favorite though.
I'll pick it up if it's less than $20
Great game. But price of game and a need for pro controller may put a lot of people off
I've already got KOF 98 so I don't think I need this at all.
I do love street fighter 2 but I do already have it on my Wii Virtual Console (and also still have my snes in the loft) so unless its a very reasonable price I'll probably skip this
@Marios-love-child It's confirmed for $40/£35 and "check retailers" in € zones. So likely €45-50.
Hulk Ryu !! XD
Btw, I really want Street Fighter Alpha 3 / Street Fighter III 3rd Strike / Capcom vs SNK 2 reappeared again on Switch.
Huh, reminds me of the color customizatioin from Capcom Vs. SNK 2. I was hoping they hadn't forgotten about that. It was so much fun!
@YeshaYahu5417 here you are: https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.destructoid.com/the-long-rumored-nintendo-switch-hori-fight-stick-is-confirmed-422765.phtml&ved=0ahUKEwjAvbbugp_TAhXmK8AKHWEtDJIQFggaMAA&usg=AFQjCNHmuvyoOhhawybXvDqbftK6UZpqjQ&sig2=5a7sH9QntUOY85N3N4PuHw
Though you can buy many Neo Geo fighters on the Switch for that price....
@Ichiban I can't wait to play Street Fighter II: The New Final Challengers, Ultra Turbo Edition in 2043. I'll stream that sweet Street Fighter II goodness directly into my cerebral cortex.
When is Capcom going to justify a $40 price for a remaster of a 20 year old game?
😨 what did we walk in on?
@gortsi You didn't read my comment apparently... "Capcom needs Hori to make "Fight PADS" for the Switch." I also said I'm not purchasing a Fight Stick by spending two hundred dollars on one.
Meaning: I already knew "Fight Sticks" were confirmed. But there's no confirmation on "Fight Pads"...
@Menchi187
I suspected as much to be honest. Shall definitely be giving it a miss in that case
I wish this was already out. May is so far away
Capcom's Professionals are amateurs. Everyone is complaining about the price. Fine.
Then, they allow the user to change the color (creating that Zombie Ken, Sick Ryu, but anyway, making Mecha Zangief possible). People won't buy the game just for that. But I have to tell you, and it's kinda sad...if they include a breast size slider (just like Xenoblade X in Japan) for chun-li and cammy, the sales would skyrocket 100%
I know the game is a bit too obscure, but I would love to see Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike get this kind of treatment. Still play it on my Dreamcast when I'm in the mood for a fighting game, and I would love to be able to play online with updated sprites!
Not that all Japanese TV/advertising doesn't come across weird here, but these Capcom TV guys seem odd even for Japan standards. What exactly is their target audience with this, elementary school kids?
And why do they all have stripper names?
"Including crazy colour customisation options"
Like how that's exactly what Evil Ryu and Violent Ken are. Palette swaps. This game is going to be overpriced because it's Switch, that's its thing(should be a €15 download, not €50 which is its likely retail price). Then throw in another €80 for a Pro controller because you definitely need a proper D pad.
There's a Capcom TV?
Notice they are not using the joy cons but are using the Pro Controller
I had no idea that scan lines ran vertically over there in Japan...
@Menchi187 40 euros in Czech Republic which is cheaper than U.K. if you convert it from GBP to EUR
@SLIGEACH_EIRE it's 40 euros by the way. I agree the game is a tad overpriced but I'm hoping the online and offline multiplayer options will make it worthwhile for me. I believe this game really needs a demo to convince customers that are on the edge
Day one buy. Still my favorite fighting game after all these years and there isn't one that's ever come close.
I'm on the fence about this because of the price. If I find a good deal I will be tempted to pick it up.
I'm so, so ready. At last my 8YO will get to see where Zangief comes from, and why it cracks me up when he talks about being a badguy-not-a-bad-guy in Wreck-It Ralph.
@Ballzilla Living in the same country as @SLIGEACH_EIRE (unfortunately, please don't lump me in with him!) it's penciled here as €70 in gamestop ireland. But I've recently decided to buy USF2 despite it "not being worth it" after playing SF5 for the first time and seeing how bad that was. Picking it up on amazon though for €42 so close enough~
@KlevaDaGreat No one should use the joy cons for anything. They're terrible controllers and just overpriced wiimote 2.0
Awesome! This is gonna be fun playing with my son!
@Menchi187 you can get a free shirt or poster if you preorder from Nintendo's UK store. If I lived in the UK I would jump on that in a heartbeat.
on the player select screen theres a ? mark on a player, is this a new player that isn't in the other version's??? have pic but can't send, its at 31:13 for anybody wanting to look
@EternalDragonX It is $40
We are being flooded with neo-geo fighters for $7. It may be a tough sell at $40 by the time they finally release this.
@Ballzilla We live in Ireland, not the UK. And Nintendo don't deliver to Ireland despite calling themselves Nintendo UK & Ireland(Eire) on various parts of their social media.
@YeshaYahu5417 hahaha sorry, I read it quickly and thought you meant fight sticks. My apologies. So do you mean something like this: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/sf4.ryu.controller.01.lg.jpg ?
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Congratulations I guess? The website says UK & Ireland so that's why I mentioned it.
@YeshaYahu5417 Now would be a good time to bail Madcatz out of bankruptcy....
Still looks way better than SFV
@Ryu_Niiyama lol yeah! Their fighting pads were my favorite.
@gortsi exactly.... there you go.
@Ballzilla As he said, they love to claim UK and Ireland yet don't ship here. Which makes no sense since they used to ship Club Nintendo rewards here since I got a few physical items from them.
I hate the artwork on the HD versions. It has no character whatsoever and the artistry is poor to say the least. Seriously ugly version.
@Menchi187 there not to bad I would say for casual players it's a really good controller but for us hardcore gamers a pro controller is the only way to go .but I'm also not disliking the joycons
