I'm shit at fighting games, but I'll definitely get a physical copy of this if it comes out in the US.

Why does everyone want a physical release?
The game is probably like 200MB.
The game is probably like 200MB.
The RE Engine is likely serving as MT Framework's successor now that Panta Rhei went belly-up. Plus MvCI already moved to UE4.

I need a release date!
It's almost certainly just some sort of hadoken shooting-gallery minigame.

There isn't.
Kind of surprised it isn't some VR thing.

I imagine art from across all of SF2's re-releases. Which would be kind of neat. I loved the new art done for the GBA port of Super Turbo.

It's still used for legacy hardware I guess. Current gen hardware is on the RE Engine that debuted with Evil Biohazard 7 Resident.

So fucking what?
Throws are now LP+LK and techs are in. Can't pick "Old" versions.

So? Binding of Isaac is getting a physical release and that one's only a few hundred MB as well.
Size doesn't matter.

Being able to play post apocalypse after the internet crashes.
For real tho it is nice to have a physical piece of software that represents transferable ownership.
Digital is convenient, but I have a 1000+ steam library catalog that is worth $0 to me other than to play it *provided it doesn't get delisted.
Monster hunter used mt lite btw

It doesn't transition from 2D to 1st person. It uses Street Fighter 4's 3D graphics for that separate 1st person mode.

Just seems like a hindrance. I could understand the argument that some games are huge downloads and take a lot of storage space, but this would probably download in five minutes.
Why do you care so much what medium peole prefer? It obviously isn't a problem for those who are getting it digitally but having a choice is good.

You are under the assumption that everyone likes to buy their games digitally.
Spoiler:
They don't.
I prefer owning physical copies of my games. A physical release is the only reason yet another port of Street Fighter II is even going to be on my radar.
Especially since Nintendo's relationship with the internet has been pretty rough, and I still don't trust them with digital purchases.

Why do people still collect NES carts, when the entire library is less than 300MB?
That & Unreal Engine 4, which is being used for Capcom's main 2 fighting games (Street Fighter V & Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite).

So far, this is the only thing I want to pick up right away for the Switch.

Just seemed like a rather mundane thing to get excited about, and counter-intuitive on a portable, but I digress.
Only the first-person mode uses SFIV's assets. Also, SFIV originally used a proprietary Dimps engine. It was the 3DS re-release that used MT Framework (mobile). I'd assume that most of the work of porting the SFIV assets to MT Framework was already done thanks to the 3DS version of SSFIV, so it made Capcom's lives easier for this game.
That still raises the question of why Capcom didn't opt to use SFV's assets (since the Switch is UE4-friendly), but it could be a Sony-related reason (they paid for the creation of the SFV assets). This is pure speculation on my part, of course.

I can't say anything definitive, but according to Justin Wong and some othet pros tweeting out, the frame data is different, combos are more lenient, and throws (same input as SF2) are tech-able.

Capcom can't be that stupid can they?

From what was shown you can switch (ugh) between the original CPSII sprites and the HD Remix assets. 1st person modes is obviously another animal.
A 50 dollar re-release of an ancient retro game with graphic modes of the original as well as the 10 buck HD release from years back is a rather mundane thing to get excited about.

It would have been worth getting excited about if it had the original Super Turbo as an option. There really isn't any definitive console port at the moment. The best option is either the Dreamcast version or HD Remix with no old school backgrounds.

They did release Street Fighter V without an arcade mode. So yea, they can be that stupid sometimes.
God damn, give FSLink a trophy. He really gets it! *Bro fist*
Doesn't look great, but it's obviously hard to judge from a snippet.
I'd rather get a port of USFIV, honestly. I still fire it up on 3DS from time to time.

I thought this game did have the original sprite backgrounds as an option.
It does and the original sprite characters, but it does not have Super Turbo as an option or speed settings.
Not really. I mean that's missing the point of my post. It isn't that this isn't an interesting game, but that in the larger scheme of things, it's a "nothing" release to most people. The ones excited about this are fans who are more likely to be collectors, and hence a physical version would be exciting to them either way. A physical release not being exciting to him is no different from the game itself probably not being exciting to the mass market.

Odd omission.
That's why the PSP GO really lit the gaming world on Fire, while the Vita was a step back huh?
As far as I'm concerned, people just aren't ready for a strictly all digital playing box or block in the console space. While preferences for these things have changed and will increasingly become a norm, you gotta acknowledge physical media for games still commands enough demand that they're the preference for many still.
I myself am a mixed bag of nuts when it comes to digital and physical games, especially on Vita. The majority of my collection is digital but I'll get a retail physical copy if possible.

The picture in the OP has the 2 graphic styles side by side in the top 2 screenshots.
I mean, Capcom's mostly moved on to SFV as far as newer SF games go, & USFIV doesn't have that much retro appeal (the game's basically dead outside of Japanese arcades). At least SFII has said retro appeal, which is likely what compelled Capcom to make a final updated version of it for the Switch.
