The collection was released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One in May 2018.
Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is a compilation that collects the arcade versions of twelve (thirteen for the Switch version) fighting games from the Street Fighter series: [1]
While playing a single-player mode in any of the twelve (or thirteen) games, the player can use save states to save and resume at any time. [1] Four of the games (Hyper Fighting, Super Turbo, Alpha 3, and 3rd Strike) support online multiplayer, including ranked matchmaking. [1] Online lobbies can support up to four players and a player can fight against a CPU opponent while waiting for online battles to be ready. [1] The Nintendo Switch version of the game includes an exclusive eight-player tournament mode for Super Street Fighter II that can be played locally with four consoles. [2]
The collection includes bonus features such as a museum to view concept art, pitch documents and facts about each release; a music player to listen to tracks across the series; an interactive timeline that chronicles the series' history; and biographies that provide background information, stories, sprite art and animations for characters in the series. [3]
Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection was developed by Digital Eclipse and published by Capcom. [4] To provide minimal latency in online play, the development team implemented "rewind" technology and allowed players to adjust their own input latency via an in-game menu. [1]
Capcom announced the collection in December 2017 at the finals of the Capcom Cup Street Fighter tournament. [4] The collection was released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One on 29 May 2018, [1] [5] although it was delayed in Japan to address fan feedback. [6] A digital copy of Ultra Street Fighter IV is included with pre-orders of the PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One versions of the collection. [5] This arcade-only 2D fighting game compilation does not include other enhanced iterations such as Hyper Street Fighter II , Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold and Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper.
In Japan, the compilation is known as Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection International. In addition to the international version of each game, it also features the Japanese versions. [7]
