Ultra Street Fighter II - website update shares HD Rumble info, character talk and more

What's new?

ULTRA STREET FIGHTER II: The Final Challengers boasts a number of improvements, upgrades and refinements – many of which are exclusive to Nintendo Switch – making it the ultimate version of an all-time fighting great.

A refined look

The iconic visuals have been overhauled for a crisp, clean and modern look, yet remain as charming as ever. More of a traditionalist? You can switch between HD graphics and the original style in the menu for old-school kicks!

New characters

In addition to the returning cast from the original game, two new characters join the Street Fighter II roster for the first time in almost 20 years. Evil Ryu, the form Ryu takes after succumbing to darkness, and the brainwashed Violent Ken are perfect for players seeking more aggressive play styles.

New ways to play

With the new and exclusive Buddy Battle and Way of the Hado game modes, go beyond the classic Arcade and Versus gameplay that the Street Fighter series is known for. Whether you’re fighting solo or with an ally, there’s plenty to keep you on your toes.

Perfect for beginners, the Lite control scheme allows you to map special moves and even super combos to a single button press (or a tap of the touch screen in handheld mode) levelling the playing field for newcomers. Don’t worry, Pro players – if you’re playing online, you won’t be matched against Lite players in Ranked matches.

HD rumble

Harness the power of incredible special moves with the Joy-Con’s HD rumble feature. Feel the Hadoken shoot across the screen – and across the palm of your hand – or unleash a Shoryuken as you feel it spin up inside the Joy-Con.

Color Editor

Customise your favourite Street Fighter characters and fight in style with the in-game Color Editor! Create surprising new looks for iconic fighters and stand out from the crowd with your own signature colour combinations.

Browse through 30 years of Street Fighter history with a stunning digital art book, featuring more than 1,400 high-resolution images from the series’ illustrious past. With over 250 pages packed full of incredible illustrations from the out-of-print Street Fighter Artworks: Supremacy collection, it’s essential viewing for any Street Fighter fan.
