Street Fighter 6: Years 1-2 - Fighters Edition

Fighting game fans can rejoice, because they're in for a treat. The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Street Fighter 6 is extremely competent and has everything that made the game a hit on PC and other consoles.

Street Fighter 6: Years 1-2 Fighters Edition does something very right with the series. It features the classic action we know and love and introduces an RPG-like story mode. It looks great, plays well, and even has a happy feel to it. When did fighting become to much fun? Ready? Fight!

Street Fighter 6 is an absolute delight on Nintendo Switch 2, acting as a wonderful launch title that has an almost infinite amount of fun to offer. With near-flawless performance despite some frame rate shortcomings in World Tour, this is an easy recommendation to any Switch 2 owner, fighting game fan or not.

Street Fighter 6 for Switch 2 is mostly an excellent port on one of the best figthing games for the current generation. But for some strange reason World Tour mode battles suffer from worse frame rate than rest of the game, which is a bit of shame on otherwise solid package.

Street Fighter 6 Years 1-2 Fighters Edition is, without a doubt, the best return of the series to Nintendo consoles. It has its problems — like the repetitive World Tour and the poorly presented stories in the Arcade — but the positives outweigh the flaws. The result is a robust, modern and, above all, fun experience. If you were expecting a good fighting game on the Switch 2, you can celebrate: the new Street Fighter is your definitive fighting game.

A return to form for Street Fighter and, by extent, an excellent return to Nintendo platforms with the latest in Capcom’s fighting series. Street Fighter 6 comes with tons of modes that will satisfy the hardcore crowd and is equally the perfect entry for the casual fan or newbie, too, with a laidback RPG-lite mode that is ideal for handheld play, although may become tedious for others. Plenty of unique characters both old and new, featuring brilliant designs and styles, make this one of the most appealing entries in years, despite the lack of unlockable costumes. Street Fighter 6 may have some performance issues at times, but there are far more pros than cons with this portable edition of a top tier fighting game.

Street Fighter 6: Years 1-2 Fighters Edition is a great title all around and an excellent launch title for Nintendo's new system. Battle Hub may be silly, but it has lots more personality and more to do than most other titles do in their online lobbies. Fighting Ground does a great job of showing off the new roster and improvements to the fighting engine, while placing an equal amount of attention on both offline and online players. World Tour makes for a slightly nonsensical yet addictive adventure that can serve as a full-fledged Street Fighter RPG. All of this comes together with an absolutely solid presentation if you ignore the fights in World Tour mode. That one issue causes the score to go lower than what we originally gave the game when it came out two years ago. Here's hoping that Capcom patches the issues soon to place this version on par with the other console and PC releases.

Street Fighter 6 on Nintendo Switch 2 is far from a simple copy-and-paste: it cleverly adapts to the console and offers a number of welcome additions, such as Amiibo compatibility and handheld play. It's a pleasure to be able to take such a rich fighting game everywhere with you, provided you invest in a Pro controller to fully enjoy the experience. Despite the overall fluidity, we regret that World Tour mode is limited to 30 FPS, and the rather high price of this version is likely to discourage many, especially considering the additional cost of the Amiibo.

Despite some inconsistent framerate issues in certain modes, Street Fighter 6 Year 1+2 Edition is a fantastic package, playing brilliantly on Nintendo's new system and showcases that the console can run with the big boys when it comes to line-up and performance. The magic of Street Fighter remains strong and shows no sign of slowing down here.

Street Fighter 6 still has so much to give, and is perfectly suited tothe Switch 2 Despite a few issues with world tour, it's still a banger.
