Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection Reviews
This is a good collection that runs the gauntlet of arcade fighting games of the '80s and '90s. Whether or not you are a fan, this is a good entry point in the series, and there is something here for everyone.
Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is a great celebration of Street Fighter's history. While I'd rather have seen Street Fighter IV as opposed to five versions of Street Fighter II, I can't really complain about having twelve games in one collection, though only four are playable online. I'm not too fond of the "random game" mechanic for lobby battles and I'm glad it doesn't extend to the other multiplayer modes, and the Switch's Joy-Cons are probably the least desirable way to play a fighting game of any kind. Beyond that though, if you're a fan of Street Fighter you'll likely want to pick this one up.
An interactive archival look into the groundbreaking Street Fighter series, this collection of a dozen titles is a must-have purchase for genre fans and gaming historians alike.
Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection gathers twelve games bearing the series' name in an outstanding collection and further adds them a simplified local multiplayer and a very polished online multiplayer to some of them, contributing to make this one of the finest compilations ever made in the history of gaming.

Once again Capcom creates a fighting game meant for fighting gamers, specifically fighting gamers that want to re-live Street Fighter's history.
The various forms of Street Fighter II are indisputably the main historical attraction of this collection.
This is a real love letter to the Street Fighter series. Eleven genuine classics (and one stinker) all ported with great care and with a museum of developmental and concept art, soundtracks and an interactive timeline of the series that'll take a good hour or so to look through, it's a great way to celebrate Street Fighter's 30th birthday even before you factor in the online and training modes for the four marquee titles. Whether you're interested in getting really good at Third Strike or Super Turbo or simply want that nostalgic thrill of days spent on a couch leathering your friends, Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is a must.
Although slightly lacking in features, Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is still a well-put together set that brings together 11 arcade-perfect versions of the some of the best fighters ever developed.
Just accept it and move onto Third Strike, alright? Remy is love. Remy is life.
While it's disappointing that there aren't more extras, Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is still an excellent museum piece for fighting game historians and would-be quarter jockeys alike.
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.
The perfect homage to a series of true fighting game greats, the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is essential.
Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection beautifully shows how the fighting game genre has evolved. Unfortunately there is no point in going back, certainly not like that. Flawed online modes and raw ports with no enhancements whatsoever is a chore to play.

Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is exactly what was promised: A celebration of the arcade culture that made Street Fighter great. However, there feels like there was a lock of effort put forth in the selection of the version of each game placed in the collection. Going with the base bones versions when people know there are much better versions out there to play just isn't good enough for the hardcore fans who will buy this game on day one.
Ultimately, there's no denying the impressive history of Street Fighter. It's a series that has continued to evolve, and this special release is a great and deserved tribute to the 2D titles from the first twenty-plus years.
Street Fighter: 30th Anniversary Collection is a well-designed and deserved trip down memory lane. For those who never experienced arcade games before and never truly saw Street Fighter in its heyday, it's a nearly perfect way of seeing it at its best. Sans the controller issues that still plague the Switch version of this release, and any Street Fighter release, it's a solid collection that is worth the money.
In the end, Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection isn't perfect but it has enough content to give it value. The various games might not have obvious differences, yet they're something fans and newcomers will appreciate. The ability to save and play online give it longevity, with history giving players more to experience. Sure, it sucks online doesn't include every title, or at least all the non-Street Fighter II ones, and there could be more training, yet this is still a great experience for fans and newcomers alike.
Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is a game that doesn't do any more than it has to but just manages to get by due to each game being so individually solid
