Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is a compilation of fighting games from the Street Fighter series developed by Digital Eclipse and published by Capcom in celebration of the series' 30th anniversary. The collection was released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Microsoft Windows and Xbox One in May 2018.
This year the Street Fighter series is celebrating its 30th anniversary. To celebrate, Capcom released the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection - comprised of 12 iconic games. Anyone who has been playing this game since its release will be pleased to hear an update is on the way to the Nintendo Switch version on 23rd October. Here are the exact improvements and fixes via the Capcom-Unity blog:
Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection Update
Never picked it up. Ultra Street Fighter II is perfection to me, so why get a dozen other street fighters?Just beat Starlink's main quest (I'll put more time into it, it was pretty fun) but I also just received Soul Calibur VI for Xbox One so that'll be a good weekend. (Only other fighter I get into other than Mortal Kombat Trilogy on 64 or Killer Instinct on SNES)
@Ryzaerian Did you only play the crappy mobile game? The real version of IV (even the 3ds version) runs beautifully. This collection isn't bad either, it includes literally everything you'd want from classic street fighter in one convenient package.
A nice update but c'mon Capcom October 24th 2018 was the 24th anniversary death date of Raul Julia. How bout giving us a free DLC arcade version of Street Fighter the Movie the Game for the 30th Anniversary SF compilation in honor of the man who never saw the game or film he starred in. I know i wasn't a good game but it's still a fun game to mess with.
@abe_hikura Right! I'm so confused! THey release a fifty dollar port of a 20 year old game and everyone freaks out at how amazing it is, and I'm watching like "What the FORCED DLC???" And then they release this, which has the same game in it, plus 10 other games or whatever, has the same online capabilities, and is 20 bucks cheaper???? Like what the DRM POLICIES? How does capcom decide their pricing? Roll a dice? Or is it all about milking as much money from their fans as they think they physically can. Thank god I'm not a street fighter fan, or really a fan of any capcom games. I even gave up on Dead rising after 3.
The major improvements that are a part of this update include changes to the localization, training mode and improvements made to the online multiplayer and audio. This patch should be available to download today on all platforms where Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is available right now.
They're great games - the creaky original Street Fighter aside, of course, though its presence as a curio is more than welcome - but you knew that anyway. No-one really needs reminding of the brilliance of Street Fighter 2, which remains just as vital today as it was upon its release in 1991, of the mastery and hard-edged challenge of Street Fighter 3 Third Strike or of the generosity and the vibrancy of the Alpha series which climaxed with Street Fighter Alpha 3's vast roster of playable characters (which is capped at 28 fighters here, sadly, seeing as it's the vanilla version that's offered rather than the Upper update which added the likes of Fei Long, Dee Jay and T.Hawk). 30th Anniversary Collection presents near-flawless versions of the arcade originals, and while they're fantastic to play, it proves just as fascinating charting the evolution of the series throughout its 90s pomp.
Developer Digital Eclipse - previously responsible for the exceptional Mega Man Legacy collections - has done some outstanding work here. Fancy a peek at the fighter's extra curricular activities, as afforded by 1993's Memorial Album? Then feast on a selection of 4K artwork, where each sketch can be zoomed in until you're able to see the finest detail. Elsewhere, there's an exhaustive look at the making of Street Fighter 2, charting the game's many twists throughout its development, how Final Fight - once known as Street Fighter '89 - was spun out during that process and how the characters evolved to their final iconic forms (though I for one am sad that we never got to see boxer Dick Jumpsey make the cut).
Much like Disney Afternoon Collection and Mega Man Legacy Collection, two other recent Digital Eclipse joints, Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is fat with supplemental material. Frank Cifaldi, Head of Restoration at Digital Eclipse and a noted video game historian who champions the much-needed games preservation cause, has put his fingerprints all over this collection.
The Museum section has production documents that explain the origins of Street Fighter, Street Fighter II, Street Fighter III, and the Street Fighter Alpha series. The character designs and gameplay notes offer unique insights into the creative process, and some are items that I've never seen before in previous Street Fighter collections or art books. In fact, there are numerous documents showcasing canned characters, stages, and gameplay features. There are also in-depth character bios that showcase fighters' martial arts style, physical stats, and the games in which they've appeared. If you're into video game history, Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection will serve you well.
It doesn't take much PC horsepower to run Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection. The game's Steam page states that you need a PC with at least a 3GHz Intel i3 CPU, Intel HD 4400 GPU, 4GB of RAM, and the Windows 7 operating system. In other words, even computers with a bit of dust on them should boot the collection with ease.

The Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection explores how the franchise came to be, via the games themselves and robust documentation. Digital Eclipse's obvious love for the video game medium shines brightly in all their releases, and this stellar collection in particular proves that video games can be so much more than mere products.
12 games is nothing to throw whiff at and easily takes the collection to a different level. This alone eclipses other Capcom attempts at bringing them together. Whether it is Alpha Anthology, the two 32 bit Collections, or Anniversary Edition: 30th Anniversary Collection did the yeomen. While each CPS board battler is included, a decent amount of connectivity and fight stick support hinders SF30th to be the best it can be.
Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is a large collection of Street Fighter games with a rich museum of information and history on the series. Within the collection are twelve arcade versions of Street Fighter games: Street Fighter, five iterations of Street Fighter II, three iterations of Street Fighter Alpha, and three iterations of Street Fighter III. This collection is developed by Digital Eclipse, who were also responsible for the first Mega Man Legacy Collection.
Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is one of the best collections we could have received for classic Street Fighter games. While the lack of home-version bonuses may be disappointing, the ease of access for match making and the experience of running through arcade while being challenged online is thrilling. At the same price as Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers, this is a great deal for an incredibly collection.
Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection changes how we view game collections by making the match making experience streamlined instead of having us go to each game individually. The museum has an incredible amount of care put into it with even the concept art of the first game available to look through. Digital Eclipse has outdone themselves with an incredibly humbling anniversary collection.
Released in conjunction with the 30th anniversary of the Street Fighter series, this compilation includes ports of the arcade versions of numerous games in the series (including the original game, the original five installments of Street Fighter II, the original Street Fighter Alpha trilogy, and the original Street Fighter III trilogy).
Celebrate 30 years of the most iconic fighting game series - The hit series with over 39 million units in global sales returns for its 30th anniversary celebration with a compilation of 12 classic arcade titles in one package on Nintendo Switch.
Considering that the first Street Fighter game was originally released back in the Japanese arcades in 1987, it means that this year marks the 30th anniversary of the series and Capcom has something very special planned.
Called the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, this contains 12 classic Street Fighter arcade games that arguably represent the bulk of the 2D gaming heritage of the series. In case you are wondering, the games included in the collection will be:
Enter the newest challenger, the 30th Anniversary Collection. With arguably more eyes on the series than ever and a foothold firmly placed in pop culture, the time has come once again to revel in a legacy of Hadoukens and Raging Demons. Despite some flaws, this collection is a more than solid enough hint of the old school for, well, a new generation. 2ff7e9595c
