Capcom's Next Street Fighter Game Won't Be A PlayStation Console Exclusive

man we haven't even seen IV ultra on a nintendo console, let alone 6, first things first

also, chun-li looks really weird in this

@somebread Yeah this takes place after 3 so she's around 50. Makes sense that she looks older

Honestly I am surprised SF5 stayed an exclusive through all its iterations.

But it's not coming to the Switch.
This might be fun for the Steam Deck, though.

I love how ryu and chun-li have this teacher vibe to them, as they have been doing this stuff for a long time, I also love the art style.

Now on topic on if this game will come to the switch or not, er, wile I won’t say it won’t happen, I personally think, it won’t happen.

@FishyS Ik, you’d think they would at least attempt to put some of the more recent ones on the switch.

Street Fighter 6 have some cool Splatoon splats effect. It looked very Urban style.
And from the trailer I saw, it will be the first Street Fighter with exploration like RPG games.
I knew it will be on PS5 first and I can wait until every additional characters already inside the disc for the final version.

SFV was a really bad entry, maybe they take what V is and improve?
I don't believe it, they lost me, i'll stay with IV and other Entries.

I haven’t kept up well with Street Fighter so maybe I’m missing out on something but…Chun-Li looks more realistic while Ryu looks cartoony? He’s comically large. Kind of an odd mix.

The 6 looks good now but I wish they'd go back to the stylized "Steet Fighter".

Also, Chun-Li's face looks weird. No consistency across the games, movies, and other media whatsoever. Although I'd say it's better than MvC Infinite's Chun-Li.

I’m guessing this is going to be released in an incomplete state again….just 4 playable characters? those on foot sections we briefly see look dreadful. Just give us Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition for Switch.

No SF6, No Tekken, No Soul Calibur. No Virtua Fighter.

You sometimes wonder if these japanese publishers are run by morons who just do not like money? Why skip the best selling console, and leave all the market and money to WB for Mortal Kombat?

And if MK11 could be ported to Switch and SF4 ported to 3DS, then all these games can also run on Switch with some minor downgrades. There are no excuses.

I’m a fan of Street Fighter’s zany cartoon style fighting. The new one looks a bit po faced for my tastes. It’s like their trying to make it more western like Mortal Kombat.

Loving all the Final Fight stuff in the trailer. Is Mike Haggar finally going to be a playable character? Just relieved they learned their lesson after V and, you know, content in the game.

@Orokosaki

Yes! Ultra SSF for the Switch would be very welcome.

@dres I genuinely believe that the development of games for the PS5 & Xbox series X is just not attainable due to the timescales and huge number of people needed to create new software. Look at all the delays, unfinished releases, games requiring patches etc. Games are taking literally years to develop and getting announced way too early. I think we’ll hit a bottleneck where big title software releases all but dry up.

I really like what I saw here. Looking forward to this.

I get the feeling that a “Ultra Street Fighter 6” will happen on what the next Nintendo will be.

I don't understand why this article is on a Nintendo site. An article to confirm the SF series is skipping Nintendo seems silly

@dres if you said that on push square or pure Xbox everyone would be saying it would be HoLdIng ThE GaMe BaCk lol

Such a shame we'll need to miss out on this one as Switch owners. I won't buy any other console, so I guess I'll just have to settle for retro Capcom fighting games, then.

Hopefully those flashy effects are just for the trailer. Can't imagine playing this for more than 10 minutes at a time if it's strobing like that! I really like what I saw, otherwise. Hopefully they didn't screw up the fighting system too much! I also like the slightly more realistic proportions. Everything in SFV was so overexaggerated. This looks A LITTLE more believable LOL.

NINJA APPROVED

Please let's not have a year of 'maybe if Nintendo release a more powerful system' articles. It's pretty low hanging fruit as far as articles go.

I’d love to see more on the Switch. I have Ultra SF2 and the collection already and would love to see maybe a 4 iteration(not a fan of 5) or a MvC game. Can’t see 6 going on Switch cloud streaming will be too laggy and the game would need to be nerfed for the new gen consoles to work.

@Synecdoche I'm actually kind of a fan of this new "Chonky-Ryu tm." Maybe he will have a stronger presence than he currently does in SFV.

Reminds me of when Takuma was super chonky in KOF.

@GrailUK It's either that or 12 articles detailing a single feature per new release.

This looks a lot better to me than SF5. Something about the character models in SF5 looked super ugly to me.

@MajinSoul Finally someone agrees with me!

I don't understand the point of this article. SF6 may be released on a hypothetical Switch 2? And suddenly it is a bad thing we have exclusives? I thought exclusives sell consoles... Maybe then we have no problem with a PS4 version of Zelda or an x-box version of Spiderman? Sony paid for the development of SF5 so they got the game, what's the big deal, Sony has done this many times, Nintendo has done it etc...

Yeah, but it won't be on Switch either so why make an article about this game? For just visibility? Because of editorial choices?...

I never understood why folks thought this would be exclusive. Capcom was in a very different place financially when developing SFV than they are now. Sony essentially pulled a Nintendo/Bayonetta 2 situation and funded V as a PS4 exclusive. Today though Capcom is thriving so of course they didn't need Sony to foot the bill this time around.

Quite frankly I thank Sony for doing so as because if they didn't do so SFV may have never been made in which case we may never have seen SF6 come around.

Man Chun-Li l has never looked better 😍😍😍😍😍 and that girl fighting her in the trailer looks so cool I hope she's a new playable character. I think it might be Chun's adopted daughter now a teenager. Can't wait to get this on PS5 it really looks like they've learned valuable lessons from V also Ono's gone now which means an exciting new direction for the series I'm so excited for this 😁

Street Fighter V was like Battlefront II and Splatoon 1, where the free updates turned the base game into something much better. I personally enjoyed 5 as much as 4 and they're both among my most-played games on the PS4 and PS3. Sf6 will be a day-1 for me as I've loved this series since the magical days of sf2 on the snes.

@belmont Because apparently there's some unwritten law that things are only bad when Sony does them......I'm not really sure why

Capcom is terrible at coming up with even remotely decent ways to make the number 6 look cool.

edit: in their defense though, it kind of looks like the Gamecube logo, which IS awesome.

"...if Nintendo does release a beefier console in the future..."

Why wouldn't they? Lol

@Masharu-Law with lines like the one I'm quoting, I can't imagine what goes through NL writers' heads sometimes...

@MajinSoul Street Fighter V’s development was half in house and half outsourced. Makes for a wildly inconsistent presentation.

We all know any Street Fighter game will had updated versions in the future so this vanilla version is no issue. My guess is once Nintendo had a successor ready Street Fighter VI: Champion Edition or a Super Street Fighter VI would come eventually. Also odd how they got a Samurai Shodown style stage in the game. I know Gairyu Isle is a popular place in Japan but it still look similar to the Samurai Shodown one.

It feels like they are times in this trailer where it’s trying to hit a Third Strike vibe but it mainly feels like hey kid vibes.
@Keyblade-Dan
It comes from viral marketers mostly.

Not coming to the Switch then. (Facepalm)

@BloodNinja Ryu is the real Lechonk.

To be fair, of the three platforms SFV could've been on, (PC, PS and XB) it was on two. Given that XB barely sells outside the US, and does particularly badly in Japan, it didn't make much of a difference.

@DiggleDog Ah that makes sense, thanks for the information.

There is no indication a beefier console will be a part of Nintendo's strategy. I'd very much bet the opposite. Source: the past 30 years.

If development keeps going well for Capcom and they keep the fans happy as they've done the past few years - I'll probably buy another console just for this.

@Shambo It looks like a graffiti street style to me - which is the theme of the game. It looks okay imho

I play Street Fighter V on STEAM everyday.

For me Street Fighter series is the best videogame franchise in history.

Street Fighter must be 50% of my playtime 90's to today alone.

I´ll play Street Fighter VI on steam. Best platform to fighting games.

@somebread I totally agree with IV Ultra not appearing on a nintendo console. We already got SFII, SFIII and SSFIV 3D edition, and I don't think we'll be getting Street Fighter V ported to the switch. So I think it would make since if Ultra Street Fighter IV gets ported to the Switch.

Papa Ryu! That is all.

Fantastic news. Didn’t give 5 much time. Played 4 to death and loved its mechanics.

@Rykdrew Who’s your favorite character to play?

This ain’t coming to Switch so what’s the point of this article

my PS5 is ready!!!!TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!!! My ps5 been idle after Ghost of tsushima!(which made me feel every other games boring!nothing interests me anymore) but I Love SF franchise! CAN'T WAIT! My first PS1 I bought was cuz of street fighter ex omg memories!!!!!

@BloodNinja currently I've been doing a lot with Rainbow Mika, but I'm a Zangief, Hugo (street fighter IV) and Alex player.

@Rykdrew MAD respect to Zangief players, he's really tough to use! I'm more of a Hadouken spammer, myself LOL. I play super casually so that's about all I'm good for!

@dres - I would still take a port of SF4 now. That would actually excite me.

Very nice Capcom. Let's hope the rest of the industry wisens up and does the same

@Paraka

Me as well.

Chun-Li has got that Timeless Master of the Art look down. If only I wasn’t such a terrible Chun-Li player. I would do something silly to get this on switch. Or Switch successor. Will likely get on Xbox and ps4.

Still want Ultra IV on switch though.

Ryu with a beard looks a little off to me... (This is coming from the person who's introduction to the Street Fighter series was a combination of SSB4 and Tekken X Street Fighter)

Looks the part but no plans for a Nintendo console release. Guess I'll just wait for the Super Street Fighter VI Turbo Hyper Fighting Champion Edition to be released on Switch 2.

After SF5 I'm not sure I want to come back for SF6 lol. Guess we'll see by time Ultra SF6 Arcade Edition releases whether or not I stay away.

I'm still waiting for USF4 on switch.... its a shame that 3DS have a SF4 on it but switch doesn't

Holy moly!!!! The gameplay looks sick!!!!
Really hyped about this one!
That free roaming/storymode also looks amazing.

It's kinda sad that it won't be on Switch but I am happy for the Xbox owners who couldn't experience V. Overall this game is looking neat. I like what they are doing and hopefully this will be a complete product unlike V. It may even give me just as much enjoyment as SFIV.

And I really like the new logo. I don't like how generic the "Street Fighter" part of the logo is compared to the other games, but the 6 looks cool and now the logo doesn't look like something made in Adobe Illustrator. I'm very excited!

To be fair, I'm not really too bothered, the last good Street Fighter game was USF4 and that was a re-release of a 14 year old game.

Why is it on the PS4 but not the XB1?
Weird.

@Rykdrew - What rank are you?
I cannot get passed ultra bronze.

@dres I dunno. The gap between Switch and current gen keeps getting wider every year. Who knows though. I never tried sf4 on 3ds, was it any good performance wise? As a kid I enjoyed the gameboy version of Killer Instinct even though it was a heavy demake.

It's dumbfounding that they won't release 4 on Switch. They have it on literally everything else.

Need to see a bit more of it to be convinced for a buy, eventually on PS5.

Will Zangief be removed, being a russian fighter? just kidding

@dres With fighting games, developers aren't just selling a game, they are supporting a community. I'm not sure what you have against Japanese devs, but I can suppose that they don't release on every console so that they don't split their playerbase. Since cross-play isn't a standard in gaming yet, it's actually better for fighting games to be where they are now, since that's where the most people will be able to take part in their online multiplayer. I think it's fairly well known that if you want to play a fighting game, you get a Sony console or a PC.

It's kind of ridiculous that the western studio with higher-budgeted games and an even more 'realistic' style than SF 6 will bring its fighting to Switch but none of the Japanese companies will. Absolutely no reason for DoA 6 (or at least 5 Last Round), SoulCalibur 6 and Tekken 7 to not be on Switch. SF 6 I can understand but where the hell is 4?

@Synecdoche i agree. I think they tried to make Chun Li more Chinese, which is fine, but the same effort wasn’t taken to make Ryu a more realistic Japanese man. He still looks like an anime brute. The two styles don’t mix well imo.

That might be true, but thinking this 2023 4k game will be released on a Mobile Chip from 2013 is a bit of a stretch

Alright Nintendo life, I've been with you since I was a teen, but damn there's been a lot of articles this past while for games that have nothing to do with Nintendo.

Nah switch would be holding this gem back.
Switch needs a different kinda streetfighter game in the likes of third strike.

This shouldn't have been an article here, it's not a Switch game so who cares? It's kind of silly talking about how it could possibly be coming out for an unnannounced console that's most likely several years away. If they don't want to put it out on a Nintendo system (again) they don't deserve the press coverage on a Nintendo site.

@LordPieFace If all you want is a news aggregator of announcement trailers filtered by: on Nintendo Switch, I don't know why you're reading a blog. The author made it clear what the connection to Nintendo is.

Its open world or what?

@IronMan30 Something like "I have to send this freelance article to this other gaming site before Friday evening - have to keep it going...man, I can't wait to turn on my PS5"
