Today Capcom announced a new collaboration between its upcoming fighting game Street Fighter 6 and the Japanese fashion brand Onitsuka Tiger.
While the Switch 2 is a clear upgrade over its predecessor, can Street Fighter 6 meet the high standards Capcom set two years ago?
At long last, here's the Year 3 roster for Street Fighter 6!
Sagat - Summer 2025
C. Viper - Autumn 2025
Alex - Early Spring 2026
Ingrid - Late Spring 2026
Watch pro wrestler Kenny Omega find a different kind of fighter within himself in our reveal trailer featuring returning characters from all corners of the Street Fighter series.
Street Fighter 6 on Switch 2 includes a Game-Key card and a 2-year expiring DLC code, raising concerns among physical game collectors.
@terry: “It will be the last Nintendo console with any physical games anyway. “
It’s that mentality that got us where we are now where it’s ok to pay $10 for a skin that used to be free by unlocking a level or playing on a higher setting 😩.
never bought a costume /skin..never will.
but yes..people are dumb and they got us where we are now. with games being incomplete, needing many patches, having tons of dlc, microtransactions and all that shit.
It’s crazy alone that it’s separate in the first place. This version should just be complete. I see what Capcom is doing here, they are making it hard for anyone to resell the game similar to what EA used to do
Switch 2 really went from a ‘Day 1 Must Buy’ to a ‘Might pick one up some day in the future’, because of all the anti-consumer decisions Nintendo has made for their new console …
I think about lot of it had to do with the amount of piracy that is going on with the Switch. Its like they want the hackers to try and pull the ROMS from the system itself versus just dumping it from a physical media. It just sucks that it had come to this point. Nintendo will keep Nintendo-ing.
I have no idea what their motivations are, but nothing drives more people from legitimate purchases and towards piracy, than lack of ownership over your purchases, and chipping away at their consumer-rights and ease-of-use.
not for me, personally I'm not buying SF6 anyways. All First party titles are released with the games fully on the card. What 3rd party publishers decide to do is up to them. This still beats a code in a box any day. At least you can trade/sell the game when you are done.
Yes, we all know you are nintys number one cheerleader. Nothing , no matter how anti consumer they do can ever sway you away 😄
@chrisx - I love new tech, I will always get the next console from Nintendo and Sony. I even spent a crap ton on the 30th Pro.
my point is, what some 3rd party dev does with their games doesn't affect me. Especially if it's for some random game I wasn't planning on getting. Imagine saying you wouldn't get a console because some random 3rd party games aren't the full game on cartridge.
@chrisx comments like this are always hilarious, because I have zero doubt you've turned a blind eye to what Sony or Microsoft have done that is anti-consumer just for a gotcha moment. It's the same when people piled on Nintendo for drift issues, meanwhile the other two have the exact same problem even into this current generation, yet I don't hear nearly as much flack coming Sony or Microsoft's way.
Sureee it did. Also, this isn't on Nintendo; the cart only comes in 64GB format due to the speeds needed and that's all that is currently manufactured right now. You would have criticized Nintendo had they stuck with the same speeds of the Switch 1 from 2017, so it doesn't matter.
Besides, this is about to be the biggest console launch of all-time regardless of what ragebait YouTubers and TikTokers post about. I dislike the game key card system, but this is on Capcom for not actually making a proper physical release (like they did several times on Switch 1 with Resident Evil, Mega Man, Onimusha, etc..)
sure, Nintendo COULD have allowed smaller games to release on smaller carts, but for the majority of AAA 3rd party games, they are going to be bigger than a 64GB cart more than likely.
This is literally devs/publishers opting to go as cheap as they can, if Nintendo mandated that all games were physical releases, what's stopping a dev/publisher from saying "ok, then we aren't putting our game on your system"?
3rd party being cheap is somehow all Nintendo's fault. The straw pulling going on here is ridiculous.
Modders are gonna hit the Switch 2 hard, and piracy is gonna be even higher on it than the first. That or 3rd party support will dry out sooner than later when enough people realize publishers don't wanna put in effort with physical releases on the system. People underestimate the casual consumer, when they feel screwed over they won't stick around like the fanboys. And with the astronomical prices of Switch 2 games I honestly can't see this succeed in the way Nintendo expects it to.
This Switch 2 stuff gets worse everyday. What other anti-consumer stuff are they hiding still?
Well if you want to use your switch 2 right out of the box you need to make sure you have a internet connection to get the day 1 patch.
Custom intros were sick in SF3, bring those back in SF6.
