    Overall a pretty good game, I'll summarize my thoughts below

    positive: You can switch between Classic and HD Visuals and Sound Full Art Gallery Option to create custom colors for characters Arcade mode isn't nearly as cheap as Super Turbo Joycon works surprisingly well Training mode is helpful Online works great Runs with no issues in handheld mode Doesn't drain much battery    Overall a pretty good game, I'll summarize my thoughts below

    positive:
    You can switch between Classic and HD Visuals and Sound
    Full Art Gallery
    Option to create custom colors for characters
    Arcade mode isn't nearly as cheap as Super Turbo
    Joycon works surprisingly well
    Training mode is helpful
    Online works great
    Runs with no issues in handheld mode
    Doesn't drain much battery

    negatives:
    New characters are very unbalanced
    Way of The Hado's motion controls barely work
    Game costs $40 which is expensive for an SF2 port
    Can get boring as it's based off an old Street Fighter engine

    Final thoughts:
    Maybe wait for a price cut before buying this one. If you're a fan of Street Fighter, especially the older versions of the game, you'll probably love it. This is also great for playing on the go. Happy 30th Street Fighter!    … Expand

    This title is the personification of every criticism of the Nintendo Switch: A lazy, mediocre and overpriced port of an old game with controls that struggle to cope with the design of the joycons. USFII is utterly devoid of the style and panache that made the original Street Fighter II a classic. It is, in every way, a mediocre experience.

    A good version of Street Fighter 2 that is very enjoyable but can get boring real quick, especially when most of us have played the hell out of multiple previous versions. It's still worth a look in, especially for newer gamers that have not played street fighter before.

    Ultra Street Fighter II no deja de ser otro refrito que pretende ser la definitiva del clásico y genial juego original. Sin embargo, está a años luz de ser la mejor versión.

Sin embargo, está a años luz de ser la mejor versión.
    Switch y su concepto de consola híbrida necesitaban un clásico de los juegos de lucha en su catálogo que logra lo que prometía: volver a echar unas pachangas al Street Fighter y ahora sin necesidad de estar conectados al televisor. Sin embargo y como primer fallo, falta el modo Torneo, un clásico en lo que a juego colectivo se refiere. Hubiera sido un acierto meter el torneo entre las funciones del juego.
    Por otra parte, como experiencia individual sigue siendo genial, sin embargo, faltan las fases de bonus, algo que se echa en falta desde luego.
    En lo que al balance de personajes respecta, el daño, las debilidades, las potencias... han sido reediseñados para una mayor experiencia y se nota, aunque los ataques de Zanguief y T. Hawk siguen siendo letales en cortas distancias.
    En cuanto a la inclusión de nuevos modos, tenemos dos principales. El Modo 'Camino del Hado' es una buena propuesta, pero mal ejecutada. No jugarás más que los 5 primeros minutos de prueba, a no ser que consigas coger el tranquillo al mal control de los joy-con (cosa que no pasa en otros juegos en los que el control es impecable). Por otra parte, el modo de combate dúo que no es más que el Dramatic Battle visto ya en la saga Street Fighter Alpha, nada nuevo.

    En resumen: otro Street Fighter II que mejora un par de cosas y se olvida de otras tantas. Hace aguas.    … Expand

    If you really like Street Fighter 2 and you want to play it on the go, this is definetely a great purchase. But at $40, it is quite an expensive package. Obviously, the core game is still great after all this years, with upgraded art style to boot. But The Way of the Hado is a fun, but very slight addition. Kudos the addition of two new 'color swap', namely Evil Ryu and Violent Ken. If youIf you really like Street Fighter 2 and you want to play it on the go, this is definetely a great purchase.

    Una buena ocasion para llevar encima uno de los mejores clasicos de la historia de los juegos de lucha. Por lo demas, un juego sencillo que no aporta nada más aparte de la nostalgia

    It's entertaining to play all the arcade modes of all the characters in the game, which are many. But apart from that there isn't much more to do in this game... The new online mode is entertaining, but after some hours of play you've seen everything. The others gamemodes like 2 vs 1 are relevants, and the hadooken mode is a complete disaster.

    It knows to 1992, street fighter 2 is not exactly a new game in fact it has almost nothing more than two people beating to the front of a screen but that is what makes it special the competitiveness, in terms of graphs there are two new modes :

    multiplayer, going fluid and almost never without problems

    Hadoken path: it is basicamanta arms but with movements of ryu

    The important thing about this game is what I said, I mean imagine being a boy of 14 and taking your switch to school to play with your friends, that is priceless

    but it does not stop being a port to average with some disappointments I recommend you buy it if you want to have a good time with friends and only if it is in a better deal

    Graphics: 8/10

    playability: 9.5 / 10

    multiplayer: 7/10

    novelty: 5/10

    Price: 6/10

    Cette version Switch est la bienvenue sur une console en manque de jeu de combat, et c'est justement ce qui le sauve car il brille par son classicisme. Si les graphismes "remake HD" sont de bonnes factures, le jeu original n'en n'est pas moins inchangé. Les animations des décors quant à elles n'ont pas été retravaillés.

    Ce que j'ai aimé (+) :
    - LE vrai Street Fighter sauce HD
    - Les level soundtracks bien revisités
    - Evil Ryu et Violent Ken
    - Le mode Online

    Ce que je n'ai pas aimé :
    - Où sont les Bonus Stages ?
    - La musique "remasterisée" lors de la sélection des personnages.
    - Les animations des décors, deux ou trois images en boucle... c'est peu en 2018 !
    - Les fins toujours aussi médiocre avec 2/3 images fixes...
    - La voie du Hado inutile, sans profondeur ni intérêt.

    Pour résumer, un jeu qui bénéficie de la pauvreté de la logithèque du genre sur Switch, et surtout de la nostalgie des joueurs Nintendo. Bref, une référence sur Switch qui se fera vite oublier et c'est dommage !    … Expand

    it's street fighter 2. . . again! although it does make sense why this game has been ported so many times, it's a good game, and it always will be. and this version of the game has a ton of characters, it looks great, and it's even got some new mode using motion controls. if you've never played a street fighter game before, I think this is a good entry point.

    A good fighting game for new and old fans of Street Fighter and similar games. But in my opinion there was a huge lack of content. Like my Bomberman R review, not enough to get me engaged or make play everyday.

    An excellent fighting game but c'mon Capcom stop making Street Fighter II already. Give us Ultra Street Fighter IV or Hyper Street Fighter Alpha at the very least.

    Es ist eine großartige Portierung von Street Fighter 2, die ich mir für das Legacy angesehen habe, es hat auch einige lustige Modi wie den 2-gegen-1-Modus und das bewegungsgesteuerte First-Person-Ding, das klobig ist, aber Spaß macht, es auszuprobieren

    The Switch version plays great, but Capcom could have included more ways to customize the gameplay, visual, and audio settings. Street Fighter fans who have always wanted a way to play the game at any locale will love having the game on a super portable system like the Switch. As a single-player experience though, this version of Street Fighter leaves a lot to be desired and you might be better off downloading a NeoGeo fighter.

    Although Way of the Hado is ultimately fluff, a lot of Ultra Street Fighter II's problems in the core game could be solved simply if the Switch had a dedicated, six-button fighting pad with a precise D-pad. As that's not an option at this point, we're left with what feels like a brilliantly presented version of a hugely important and impressive game, that no one can really get the best out of.

    Capcom is definitely onto a winner with Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers. Taking a Super Nintendo classic and sprucing it up just a touch retains enough nostalgia-factor so as to appeal to older gamers, yet has enough re-balancing, shiny new paint, and extras to ensure newcomers can enjoy the ride, as well. Hardcore or not, there is something for every level here in The Final Challengers. It may suffer when using Joy-Con, but crack out the Pro Controller and this feels as good as the series did in the past.
