Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection Reviews
A faithful collection that’s been lovingly built for fans, but not for newcomers
An essential release for Street Fighter fans.
This collection really does serve as a time capsule of sorts for the series, allowing fans to go back and pore over the tweaks and refinements between each entry at their own leisure; playing through the games in sequence is truly a fascinating insight into the cycle and evolution of game design.
In the end, Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is a respectable package that will doubtlessly tug at the heartstrings of longtime fans, but falls a bit short of being a truly complete package.
Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is the perfect compilation: 12 games, legendary characters and a stunning gameplay. This should be yours if you love iconic Capcom titles.

An immense collection of classic fighting games that shows off just how good the Street Fighter series is. The games themselves are one thing, but the inclusion of the Museum mode allows you to learn so much about the series. Games are often said to be love letters, this is a love encyclopedia and is essential for fans of the series.
It's incredibly clear a lot of love and care went into this collection, this was no cash grab from Capcom. It serves as a love letter to the franchise by keeping everything both good and bad in the ports while also adding small features that won't scare away the modern gamer.
If you're a die-hard arcade enthusiast, this is the only Street Fighter Collection you'll ever need.
Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is a welcome walk down memory lane, and thanks to the implementation of online features, the games within once again have legs.
Despite these issues, Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is worth checking out just to get an idea of how the series has evolved since its inception decades ago. There's a wealth of content to be had, even if it isn't priced as well as it could have been on all platforms.
If you love Street Fighter games and miss Arcade Games, we definitely recommend you this game.

With a lot of content and huge fan service, this collection is a must-have for Street Fighter fans. Bareboned online options and other cons are pulling it down.

Your enjoyment with Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is going to mainly come down to whether your primary focus is online play. If so, then this isn't going to be your game due to the online play that is spotty at best and non-functional at worst. If not, then this package will definitely be for you, as you'll get 12 arcade-perfect games with gameplay that's still enjoyable today. With the Switch becoming a system that is getting some really good fighting games, this makes for a perfect addition to that genre library.
Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is a very rich collection of the series' 30-year history. It contains a huge number of games, in addition to a fantastic and high-quality collection of artistic images and designs of the history of this series. However, while it's full of content quantity wise, it lacks quality; and because a series of shortcomings, as well as many problems (especially on the PC platform), it does not have the quality it could've had

Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is a rich collection of classic SF titles, and despite some bizarre issues here and there, it’s a must have for every Street Fighter fan.
Review in Persian | Read full review
A good collection of some of the best fighting games of all time, but held back by missing key titles from the Street Fighter legacy, and an arguable lack of care and attention that these games deserve.
An essential collection for anyone interested in arguably the most iconic fighting series, missing only some of the additions to the home releases and a spotty online implementation

Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is an excellent collection to revive some special moments from classical games. The port of the Arcade games are nearly perfect and the museum is good. The Online mode, however, presents some problems in the current state, but it is still functional.

Bringing a dozen these games together, and then adding superb customisation options and a museum mode that manages to be genuinely informative, and you've got one incredible celebration of a fighting game series that has meant so much to so many people over the years.
Even when taking into account that some of these games are not very different from one another, the content on offer in Street Fighter II 30th Anniversary Collection presents arguably the best value for money in that specific genre on Nintendo Switch and the bonus features, like museum and sprite viewer, are actually well worth checking out for lovers of the series. However, one of the main components, the online mode, is not really enjoyable in its current state so, unless a fix is on the way, this removes some of the fun that there would otherwise be in playing this on Nintendo Switch. What remains, however, is the only version that can easily be enjoyed wherever, whenever, and with whomever and that should never suffer from disc rot due to the sturdy cartridge format, and which won't look any worse here than anywhere else due to these games not being exactly very recent.
