Yeah, my first thought was it makes the Switch Ultra port look even more of a rip off now.
This is insane! It'll be a day one purchase for me

I think physical versions have already been announced?

I'll be getting it on Xbox One. I really only buy stuff on Switch I can't get on Xbox. And really the Ultra Street Fighter II on Switch made me realize that the Switch's controls are not ideal for SF anyway (I really only play the Switch as a portable). That and the fact that my biggest interest here is getting to play Third Strike and Alpha 3 online.
Anyway, I'm trying to remember the last time that the original Street Fighter got a console release. Not that it's a great game, but certainly it's got an important history to it. Was TG16-era the last time it was in print? Or was there some later Capcom compilation that I'm forgetting about?
This is very exciting. I have wanted SFA3 to be easily playable online for a very long time.
My one big question is that will these be the "arcade perfect" versions of the SFA games or will they be the "better than arcade perfect" releases, ala SFA3 with World Tour Mode + extra characters or SFA2 Gold?
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?
I was wondering the same thing on the versions of Alpha.

As far as I know the only time ever the original one was released was the Fighting Street TGCD, but upon looking more into it as I owned that one years ago there have been more releases around it on old computers and stuff. It did get a more recent push though, and that part is news to me. It was emulated as such on the PSP, then PS2/XB in some of those capcom arcade collection bundles on physical media. So it really flew under the radar but hasn't been pushed out on a piece of media in over a decade.
I've not played it since I had the old CD and while it did have rough control and didn't flow like SF2 did all smooth it wasn't a bad game either, but definitely a learning tool that made SF2 so so good.
I still like Ultra Street Fighter II, tbh. It is a completely different tooling of the game than the SFII iterations included in this. If anything, this release plus USFII makes the Switch (amazingly enough) a comprehensive platform for Sprite Based mainline SF games.
