Street Fighter II, the classic entry in the fighting game series created by Capcom, is ready to make a glorious comeback on Nintendo Switch with Ultra Street Fighter II, which will include two brand new characters and new play modes not found in the previous versions of the game. The game's reveal trailer hinted at a possible first person view mode, and it seems like this mode will indeed be included in the game at launch.
According to the Ultra Street Fighter II Japanese version box, the game's first person view mode will be called Unleash! HaDOken, and it will require the Joy-Con controllers. Not much else is revealed about the mode, but it's almost certain it will use Ultra Street Fighter IV assets as seen in the reveal trailer.
Last month, new Ultra Street Fighter II screenshots have been made available, showcasing the game's online modes, such as Arcade Standby, Ranked and Casual matches and more.
As already mentioned, Ultra Street Fighter II will introduce two new characters, Evil Ryu and Violent Ken, as well as plenty of additional features.
For the first time in nearly 20 years, since Super Street Fighter II, two new characters join the fight; Evil Ryu and Violent Ken. This version of Ryu has succumbed to the Satsui no Hado and is now obsessed with fighting in order to prove he is the strongest. His former honorable self has been purged, allowing him to enjoy absolute power and embrace an unquenchable bloodthirst for battle.
Violent Ken is the result of M. Bison kidnapping and brainwashing Ken, enhancing his abilities with Psycho Power and twisting his brotherly rivalry with Ryu into hatred. Violent Ken is more ruthless, aggressive, and fearless with moves that feature purple flames instead of his signature fire.
Ultra Street Fighter II launches on Nintendo Switch on a yet to be confirmed date. We will keep you updated on the game as soon as more comes in on it, so stay tuned for all the latest news.
Thanks, Nintendo Everything
