Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection
Fighting Games to Look Forward to in 2018
Capcom has a busy year ahead of it to celebrate Street Fighter’s 30th Anniversary. Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition is a start, but an upcoming compilation of Street Fighter’s past should please fans of all ages.
The 30th Anniversary Collection goes all the way back to the beginning, compiling 12 arcade classics in one package, including Street Fighter itself which originally released in 1987 and introduced the world to Ken and Ryu. The back catalog also includes the many arcade iterations of the legend that is Street Fighter II, plus the Street Fighter Alpha and Street Fighter III trilogies.
Four of the titles, Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting, Super Street Fighter II: Turbo, Street Fighter Alpha 3 and Street Fighter III: Third Strike, will also include new online features, allowing fans to go head-to-head in ranked and casual match options with dedicated leaderboards. The package is rounded off with a host of extras including an interactive timeline, character bios, art galleries and a music player.
Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection arrives May 2018 on PS4, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch. There’s no indication thus far if there will be any cross-platform multiplayer, though one can hope.
