Younger me would've died at the prospect of portable 3S. In for Switch.
Vita's godly D-Pad yearns for this, though. Shame :-(

Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection announced (PS4/XBO/PC/Switch, 12 Games, 40$, May 2018)

So the FGC has some concerns.
1. How bad will input lag be?
2. "Arcade perfect?" Based on what versions?
A lot of the oldschool FGC are interested to dump our CRTs and stop bringing arcade boards and shit. So his has loads of potential if this ends up being good. But it has to be good and has to be a viable replacement. That said, this will do wonders for the HF, ST, A2, and A3 scenes just by making it more accessible.

I haven't played the Disney Collection they did but the first Mega Man Legacy Collection had very good remapping options. This probably explains why they didn't do Mega Man Legacy 2.

I think the important thing is just having something that's accessible on so many platforms just for tournament's sake
If there's issues with it (like there were with USF4 at first), they can iterate on it at the very least
Legit online ST. Day one (unless it's badly botched on PC).
Hope that online isn't full of Akumas.

I could see a special edition of this coming out for Switch with a D-pad Joycon included. Make it Blanka green or Ryu red or something.
They really don't. Things like super and throw escapes completely change the game. A2 and A3 are about as similar as HF to ST, probably more given the only viable ISM on A3 is V-ISM except for maybe Sim, which makes CC's one thing both share. I know passionate HF fans who HATE ST and I can write a whole dossier as to why.
Oh thank god I didn't buy that overpriced shitty USF2, this is more like it! Day one on the Switch.

True. But that depends on how good it is. Depending on the input lag for instance, it might not be considered tournament viable, speaking as someone who is planning to run tournaments with this thing.
It would have if this wasent coming to switch like it originally would have
It would be too bad if Alpha 2 Gold doesn't show up solely because its arranged soundtrack is my favourite in the whole series.
This man spit in the face of Nintendo ninjas and lived to sing the Ducktales theme.
I was personally never a big fan of the arranged OSTs in some of the SF console ports, tbh. Always one of the things that irked me about Alpha 2's home versions.
Except 3rd Strike, anyway. The Dreamcast OST is fire.
Third Strike's Dreamcast arrangements are infinitely better than the arcade ones.
I'm surprised you say that about Alpha 2 though. I thiiiiink Alpha 2 Gold's soundtrack was actually an entirely separate one from the arranged soundtrack on Vanilla Alpha 2's PS1/Saturn releases, but don't quote me on that. That game is actually kind of a minor mess when it comes to how many revisions there've been.
If you can run a PS2 somehow that system has a fantastic Alpha Compilation with Gold and a bunch of other bonus games
Alpha Anthology! I have that one and I would always specifically go for Alpha 2 Gold for Cammy and the soundtrack. What a great collection that is.
I mean I agree with his philosophy, but Mega Man Legacy Collection was disappointing as a product for as much as he talks about accuracy.
I'm hoping for the best but Digital Eclipse doesn't have a good track record with this sort of thing. I'd love if the ST community didn't have to depend on Superguns anymore.
Ah I see your point. I was approaching the comparison more from a casual/general consumer perspective, like where one might actually choose A or Xism.
Right? Superguns and CRTS and expensive dreamcast sticks.
A lot of us are hoping for the best. We WANT it to be the best it can be because our scene REALLY NEEDS IT (hello Capcom!) so we are half skeptical-half losing our shit.
Buy this if you want to see more Capcom support. Your welcome.
If the console version content for Alpha 3 is there day one.
If not I'll buy it sometime in the future for Alpha 3 and Third Strike.

Dude no. I want to believe but I can't.....I can't believe. It's too scary to believe.
It's too scary to be heartbroken.
Nice to see 2nd Impact on this list.
I can finally play not-nerfed Sean again!
Now the question to ask is which version of Alpha 3 is on here? CPS2 Alpha 3, or Naomi Alpha 3 Upper?
While the purists probably want the CPS2 version, I think there is merit if latest versions of each game were included. Obviously SF Zero 2 Alpha isn't going to be included but it would be nice. Also that custom Hyper Street Fighter Alpha with all of the strange options available would be interesting but probably also not in the cards.

One would hope Capcom is going to be very much on top of this development for those reasons.
Their big esports/scene focus is a big factor that wasn't really one with older ports.
Powerstone, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, Maximo collection, DMC Collection on Switch. That would be great.
IIRC, they're mostly the same, aside from additions like Cammy's XvSF theme being arranged for Gold. I don't hate them, but I would've liked an option for the original soundtrack.
They're gonna pack up all the Viewitful Joe games and Power Stone games into the Failed Capcom Games Collection
