20 would've been an insta buy. 30 pushing it. No way I'm paying
40.

 

[sixteen-bit]

This one is waaay better.

Yep. Is that AKIMAN?

 

[PumpkinSpice]

$40 is the standard 3DS/DS price point and I appreciate games existing at that price at all on Switch as it's a more appropriate price for mid-budget handheld-type games.

I'm not sure if this is right for that. If it was on 3DS even I'd expect it to maybe be a $30 budget release. Maybe it's just the launch premium? Like there's not a ton else to buy so maybe they think they can get away with a bit extra.

 

[BillyG_3001]

I really hope that a company releases a pair of fighting Joy-Cons which have d-pads worthy of Street Fighter!

Madcatz, Hori where you at? Even SNES style Joy-Cons would be better than what we currently have. All footage of Street Fighter on the Switch has been with the Pro Controller.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Good luck with that, Capcpom

 

[Flip4k]

$40? For SFII? May?

Nope. Nope. Nope.

 

[Whompa02]

40 dollars? No thank you.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

bwahahhahaha

$40 is insane.

SSF2HDRemix launched at $15 last gen

 

[Rezae]

$20 maybe... the fact there isn't a dpad to use outside of the Pro controller makes this title all the more confusing. Not a fan of this Switch "premium" pricing that seems to be going on with some titles.

 

[Order]

😂😂😂😂😂

 

[Ridley327]

bwahahhahaha

i feel bad for the suckers droppin the money on this one

I wonder what the price would be in Bison Dollars.

 

[Formosa]

No street fighter V??

 

[randomengine]

bwahahhahaha

i feel bad for the suckers droppin the money on this one

You feel bad for someone who can afford to buy and enjoy a game?

If anything we would pity you. We can afford the game and get to enjoy it before you do.

Is this still a gaming forum?

 

[vala]

Yep. Is that AKIMAN?

That is BENGUS. Same with the new cover...

 

[alf717]

I didn't know Chun Li had tattoos. Price is a little too high. If the HD sprite work was amazing I would consider the cost worth it.

 

[Berordn]

It also feels unfinished (and it is still in early access on Steam, to be fair) and its roster is pretty lacking. I like it enough that I will buy it again on Switch, but honestly...I'd still rather play a repackaged SF2 over it.

I actually don't know much about the game, my first exposure to it was the Nindie direct yesterday. I just recognized the art style and thought it was a great thing to pay tribute to.

Same problem, for me. You know I really love retro games of all kinds, retro gaming is my passion, but I'm not at all into new games with retro look. I don't like the look of old games, I like how they play and that the memories takes me back to my childhood. I don't know, these new retro-looking games, to me it just feels like they're taking advantage of us nostalgics. Super Metroid takes my vote for the best game of all time but I wouldn't want Super Metroid 2 to look the same, 60fps side-scrolling with 4K hand-drawn art, oh yes, 16bit pixelated look, oh no.

Not trying to discredit your opinion at all but this is kind of a strange thought to bring up in a thread about a new version of SF2, which itself is banking in on nostalgia.

 

[superNESjoe]

Yeah no thanks.

 

[JeTmAn81]

No street fighter V??

Never Street Fighter V. Sony has console exclusivity for that one (they paid for development costs).

 

[Skilletor]

bwahahhahaha

i feel bad for the suckers droppin the money on this one

Yeah, stupid people spending money on things they enjoy.

 

[clevbrowns94]

Great boxart, glad it's physical in the US, horrible price. But it might bomb at that price and you can get it half off eventually.

 

[border]

When will these sheep wake up and start paying only the prices I think are fair?

 

[phanphare]

that box art looks great

the Switch section at retailers is going to be loaded with great box art, damn

 

[Guymelef]

that box art looks great

the Switch section at retailers is going to be loaded with great box art, damn

At this price you are right, loaded is the word.

 

[Slayven]

40 dollars for street fighter 2 in 2017? Out their goddamn minds

that box art looks great

the Switch section at retailers is going to be loaded with great box art, damn

At these prices yeah they will never have to worry about it being barren

 

[Unison]

USFIV I might have paid $40 for. This seems like a joke.

 

[randomengine]

At this price you are right, loaded is the word.

Loaded is not what I will be after buying all these awesome games.

 

[jmizzal]

If this was a launch game they would be able to get away with $40 price, but by May, the Switch will have a lot more games and I dont think many people will buy it at that price by then

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

Who are these Rockefellers paying $40 for videogames?

 

[Leatherface]

$40? They are high. LOL

 

[randomengine]

I've never understood establishing pricing tiers based on graphics. Yet plenty of gaffers fall into this trap.

 

[CO_Andy]

if there's no rebalancing then i'm out at that price

Yep. Is that AKIMAN?

Bengus

 

[UltimateUnknown]

8-9. Yer gettin' old, man.

Wow what the heck? I didn't even realise it was out that long ago. Makes the price point even worse.

 

[Unison]

I've never understood establishing pricing tiers based on graphics. Yet plenty of gaffers fall into this trap.

Are you defending this price?

The game was released years ago on Xbox 360 for $15.

This has some small additions, but nothing that makes this feel like anything but a (misguided) cash grab.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

I didn't know Chun Li had tattoos. Price is a little too high. If the HD sprite work was amazing I would consider the cost worth it.

That might be see through fabric with pattern. Capcom didn't do a single new sprite, a single character frame. Ridiculous.

 

[Fredrik]

Not trying to discredit your opinion at all but this is kind of a strange thought to bring up in a thread about a new version of SF2, which itself is banking in on nostalgia.

No worry it's just a feeling I have, it's (basically) the same classic game and it looks really good, in the end it hits my nostalgic nerve just right. I know I should wait until it's in the sales bin, and maybe I do I don't know. I'm not furious about the price anyhow since it's retail release.
Pocket Rumble though... I'm sure there is a great game underneath but there is no nostalgia, at least not for me, it's just a new game which looks old.

 

[Skilletor]

I've never understood establishing pricing tiers based on graphics. Yet plenty of gaffers fall into this trap.

It has nothing to do with graphics and everything to do with the fact that it was a 20 dollar XBLA/PSN title not long ago. AND it's yet another port of a game that's over 20+ years old.

But, really, I don't think another SF2 title is selling very much no matter the price point. It's a calculated move aimed at a market that would buy the game no matter the price. Obviously Capcom thinks they'll make more money aiming at that market than making it cheaper for the random people it might attract that way.

Not trying to discredit your opinion at all but this is kind of a strange thought to bring up in a thread about a new version of SF2, which itself is banking in on nostalgia.

Personally thought NGPC games looked awful even at the time and the look of that game emulating it doesn't appeal to me in the slightest.

I think CPS2 games and lots of games/fighters from that era look timeless to this day.

 

[Incitemaybe]

After paying $90 total for Street Fighter 5 and never playing it, this price certainly is a huge turn off.

Looking forward to that great looking indie fighting game however!

 

[Vitacat]

I don't need this game. Not for $40. Not even for $32 with GCU.

I already feel dumb enough for ordering Bomberman R. At least it's actually a completely new game in its franchise.

 

[thepenguin55]

Shame. This is easily the best version of Fei Long's theme

Outside of a couple I thought all the OC Remix tracks they picked were great, but this was probably the best. Though Akuma's probably my favorite:

[Gestault]

I know there are changes, but wasn't the SFII HD remake this is largely based on a $20 digital release originally, the price for which was sort of balked at at launch?

 

[gunstarhero]

im too lazy to check, but is the reworked character art identical to HDR?

 

[Mechanized]

HD Remix for $40 in the year of our lord 2017.

 

[dcx4610]

Day 1 just for color edit alone. Box art is wonderful as well.

 

[Guymelef]

I know there are changes, but wasn't the SFII HD remake this is largely based on a $20 digital release originally, the price for which was sort of balked at at launch?

$15 actually.

 

[LeleSocho]

That art is disgusting, please remove bengus from the SF franchise.

 

[randomengine]

Are you defending this price?

The game was released years ago on Xbox 360 for $15.

I don't think any of us can rightly judge what the final product will be. I trust the market and Capcom to price games accordingly. They almost always do. Yet, Nintendo games are always criticized for their price. Odd

 

[thepenguin55]

im too lazy to check, but is the reworked character art identical to HDR?

They might have cleaned the art up a little but yes, they appear to be the same.

 

[Oregano]

If you're looking for a new Switch release at the end of May please buy Disgaea 5. Nippon Ichi could do with the cash.

 

[Zombegoast]

Where do people get the notion that this is a port of HDR? It's rebalancing the game with new sprites, new UI and a new matchmaking system.

 

[ExitPlanetDust]

bwahahhahaha

i feel bad for the suckers droppin the money on this one

Will it be released on a Tuesday?
