Capcom on choosing Ultra Street Fighter II for Switch, different features, character additions, more

A recent issue of Famitsu contained an interview about Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers. The magazine caught up with assistant producer Tomoaki Ayano to learn more about the upcoming Switch game. Ayano started out by discussing why this particular title was chosen for Switch.

Nothing he says could justify the price

So is this s new game or is it the same one from PSN and Xbla with new features? I swear they make it sound like it's some new version but it looks exactly like street fighter 2 hyper hd remix.

it is Not the same one from PSN/XBL ( I own them).

They make it sound like a new version because it is.

new mechanics like grapple breaks and re-tunes some aspects of the game's balance. Combo timing has also been adjusted from the original games.

The game is playable in two graphical styles: the classic pixel art graphics of the original game, and updated high definition graphics in the same style as 2008's Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix (just from a visual stand point is the reason why everyone thinks this is the same as the PSN/XBL version).

the original arcade soundtrack and voice-acting, while in the updated graphics the game is played in 16:9 widescreen and includes newly-remixed music and the characters' Japanese voices from the Street Fighter IV series.

Ultra Street Fighter II has a roster of nineteen characters.In addition to all seventeen fighters from Super Turbo (including Akuma, who is no longer a hidden character), two characters–Evil Ryu and Violent Ken–have been added to the game's roster.

The game features local and online multiplayer.

A local cooperative game mode, known in the Alpha games as "Dramatic Battle", has been added in Ultra Street Fighter II.

there is also an exclusive new Street Fighter V/Street Fighter IV-styled first-person battle mode known as "Way Of the Hado"

The Color Edit mode, the player can make their own alternate palettes for each of the 19 fighters, then use them in Arcade Mode, VS Mode and Online Battles, allowing for the storage of up to 10 custom palettes for each character. ( Had this in Capcom vs SNK - not sure you could of used your custom color online multiplayer)

So no this isn't the old remix, not a brand new game either.

Thanks for the info

[CrimsonWing69]

yea thanks for that.

So... yes, it is the same SSF2THDR game... with new features added to it and a few gameplay tweaks.

Definitely not worth the asking price in my opinion.

Cammy still has messed up eyes in this version.

[CorndogBurglar]

New characters would have been nice. And I don't mean Evil Ryu and Hangry Ken, or whatever his name is. I mean like, actual new characters.

[DaleCooper]

Hangry Ken, LOL

When it comes down to under £20 i might pick it up, but it needs to stay on Switch, soon as it gets ported to other i trade my copy in... Hear that capcom!
