The Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection contains 12 titles that have each shaped the history of the Street Fighter series by introducing new concepts, gameplay features, and characters. In terms of release date, Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike launched way back in 1999 before it was followed by the series’ triumphant return with Street Fighter IV.

When you pre-order the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Steam, you’ll receive Ultra Street Fighter IV to complete the series!
Each platform’s pre-order bonus has its own redemption instructions, so make sure you read carefully.

Street Fighter IV first launched in North America in 2009, an entire decade after Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike. Upon release, Street Fighter IV received universal acclaim from both players and the media who noted it as a familiar, yet innovative contribution to the series. In 2010, Super Street Fighter IV, was released in the first major update to the game, featuring new modes and characters, including the wildly popular Juri. In 2014, Ultra Street Fighter IV was released and was the final major update that included all previous modes, balance changes, and also introduced five new characters. In a span of five years, Street Fighter IV became a fighting game phenomenon in its own right.
Exclusive Tournaments for Switch
The Nintendo Switch version of the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection will contain an exclusive recreation of Super Street Fighter II: The Tournament Battle, a special arcade-only version of Super Street Fighter II that featured the networking of four arcade cabinets and allowed up to eight players to compete in a bracket-based tournament.
Using local wireless play, you will need four Nintendo Switch systems and eight controllers to start a tournament, which is perfect for a group gathering! In cases where you don’t have eight players, the CPU will take control of the remaining spots to give you the same tournament experience. Once each match begins, the winner and loser will be placed in their respective brackets, followed by a short period of time where players will switch “seats” to face their next opponent in the tournament bracket. This process will continue until a champion is crowned!
Super Street Fighter II: The Tournament Battle takes advantage of the Nintendo Switch, which allows players to bring their systems anywhere and play together. We hope to see you forming tournaments of your own come May 29!
