It's like the Wii never left.
Every time I open the shop on my Switch and see only 5 games in the coming soon section, including this, I just shake my head. I wonder how many copies of this they manage to move at this hilarious price.

I find it odd that they spent the time to create way of the hado which is so out of place in the game but didn't bother to redo artwork for the bonus stages. What the fuck were capcom thinking?

They weren't in the original Super Turbo either, so not that weird of an omission.
The best part is the return of the MT Framework engine for a throwaway mode.
It's the 3rd best selling game on amazon.fr in May. Seems to be a local exception though.

I'm still in shock that you can't set the speed to match ST. How do you not include that?
Yes.

Clearly because of an exclusivity deal.
Street Fighter V is a PS4 console exclusive.
Yup. I have no doubt if it wasn't for that they'd be releasing SF5. SF4 on the 3DS did very well at the 3DS's launch. Above a million I think. They easily could have had a repeat of that with 5. In fact I think all of Capcom's 3DS games did very well for them. It's why the lack of Resident Evil Revelations 2 made no damn sense when the first one did so well.

Aw that sucks. I hate it when publishers don't bother to translate those books.
Yeah, the Dreamcast port brought them back, but they were gone in general in SSF2T.

There are some weird (scaling?) artifacts around the HD sprites.
I actually prefer that look to the sterile clean look from before. Call me weird.

It would be really nice for once if Capcom just gave us a really good port of Super Turbo with really good online instead of trying to constantly mess with it.

Is it because the Udon sprites were made to display at 720p on 360/PS3, and when displayed at 1080p they look jagged?

For real. I just want an ST port, lol

A 100% CPS2 accurate port of Super Turbo would be an instant buy for me and tons of other people. There is a reason it still has a lot of players to this day.

I wonder why capcom won't give the fans what they really want.

Because SF V sucks and SF2 is the best one.

I consider the original pixel art to be a bigger selling point.

I remember them promising that HD Remix would have an original mode and it ended up being original sprites on the HD Remix backgrounds and it looked terrible.

That's one of the good things about this release, you can play with pixelated backgrounds, so the classic characters won't look out of place on them. Note though that they aren't the original backgrounds from older games - at least Guile's stage has been updated to match his Street Fighter V stage.

I have to agree.
SFV is all kinds of garbage.
Having to always be logged in is complete bullshit when the game can disconnect you any second and log you off.

Yeah but this game won't have a Super Turbo mode as far as I'm aware.
HD Remix had an original Super Turbo mode, but you couldn't make it look like OG Super Turbo. This game has an original graphics mode but you still have to play the version with Evil Ryu and Violent Ken and none of the O. Versions of the characters.
I wouldn't be surprised at all to see this move a ton of copies. Everyone already owns Zelda and MK8. What the fuck else are you going to buy?
gotta ask, why don't they use that graphics for the main game then
lol

HDR's use of the OCRemixes was worse imo
Violent Ken as a "new" exclusive character, you betcha.
What I don't get is why this wasn't a collection of sorts. How about USF2, 3rd Strike, and USF4 instead of just USF2 and that Hado mode that nobody is going to play after five minutes?

The hands-ons have been pretty positive about the remixes, do you have a link to a video or something where we can hear the new remixes?
Eurogamer had it right when it pointed out the real winner here: all those baller Neo Geo fighting game ports.

Street fighter 2 will sell better than a switch version of 5 would have done

I dunno, imagine if they had made it a Switch exclusive:
Street Fighter V Arcade Edition

Again SF2 seems far more appealing to me
I'd rather have V but I get why that's impossible.
I do believe SF2 will sell well though. SF2 is THE fighting game people remember and it fits perfectly in this Zeitgeist of people re-entering the world of Nintendo/video games again after a long hiatus.

Is it kinda comfortable to play it with the Joycons with straps?
Am I weird for kind of liking this effect (intentional or not)? The "new" art style is way too clean for my taste. It looks like a flash game.
