Capcom have revealed that Ultra Street Fighter II will release worldwide on May 26th 2017 for $39.99. While not at the console’s launch, Switch owners won’t have to wait too long to get their hands on the game. While it’s nice that we finally have a release date for the game, the price tag is less then stellar. While $40 is an ok price point, it makes me hesitant. Where as if the game were $20 it would be a insta buy for me and many others. Thoughts ?
According to the Japanese box art for Ultra Street Fighter II, gamers who purchase the gameon the Nintendo Switch will have a unique first person mode. The new game mode is called “Unleash! Ha”DO”ken” and it utilizes the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers in first person view. You’ll play as Ryu as you defend yourself against waves of enemies. The mode has also been shown off on Capcom TV, which you can see below.
In a recent interview with Capcoms Yoshinori Ono, IGN spoke to him all about Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers and ask him whether the game will ever come to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Ono says that they spent a lot of time looking at the Switch and would only port it across if it sold extremely well. You can read the full interview on the game with Yoshinori Ono, here.
Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers is coming to the Nintendo Switch!
For the first time in nearly 20 years, since Super Street Fighter II, two new characters join the fight; Evil Ryu and Violent Ken. This version of Ryu has succumbed to the Satsui no Hado and is now obsessed with fighting in order to prove he is the strongest. His former honorable self has been purged, allowing him to enjoy absolute power and embrace an unquenchable bloodthirst for battle.
Violent Ken is the result of M. Bison kidnapping and brainwashing Ken, enhancing his abilities with Psycho Power and twisting his brotherly rivalry with Ryu into hatred. Violent Ken is more ruthless, aggressive, and fearless with moves that feature purple flames instead of his signature fire.
Choose between classic pixel-art graphics for a retro nostalgia trip, or enjoy HD graphics created by UDON Entertainment.
Utilizing the system’s unique Joy-Con controllers, players can challenge each other in Arcade Mode, or team-up to both fight against the CPU at the same time.
