Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection Reviews
Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is a great nostalgia package to relive the early years of the series. Although it would have been nice to have a complete version of each game, an arcade port with console additions, the collection ticks enough boxes to make it a worthwhile purchase for fighting game fans.
Recenzja Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is a compilation of 12 original Street Fighter games. Well... Actually 4 and their iterations, but still... It's a treat for every single Street Fighter fan, but atrocious buying decision for every other games. Those games are not good anymore, but carry the weight of nostalgia. Cool collection though.

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.

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 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

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.
This is the perfect collection for the fans of Street Fighter. Own a piece of history, challenge leaderboards and find other fans to fight against.
While the Switch version does have some control issues and not getting Ultra Street Fighter IV is a bummer, that doesn’t mean this version is terrible. You trade off these things to have 12 of the best fighting games of all time portable. I do hope they address some of the control issues with patches like the not being able to map 3 kicks or punches to a button. If you have a Switch and love Street Fighter I think you would be satisfied with this release despite its flaws. I mean at $39.99 you’re spending less than 4 bucks a title for some great classics.
Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection contains a lot of good Street Fighter games, notable by their high difficulty and the unique atmosphere of the franchise. The collection can keep you entertained for hours and if you are a fan of this series or classic video games, it's a must play.

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.
A decent price tag for a sweet slice of nostalgia, but some performance issues and lack of many gameplay options limit how much longevity you’ll get out of it.
This is a fantastic package. While there are some things that annoy me, it is impossible to recommend a better collection of these games to date. The addition of online for select games and the inclusion of some truly obscure ones makes up for its deficiencies.
Capcom has done very well, it has brought us a compilation that although it is not perfect, it leaves us with a magnificent taste. Content to spare to keep us glued to the screen for hours, whether playing solo, online or learning curiosities or details of this great saga. A highly recommended game if the Hadokens resonate in your memory and you want to feel the sensations of yesteryear again.

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.

The fact that Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection gives players a thorough insight into Street Fighter II, III and the Alpha series is recommendation enough, but when they're so well presented it makes this more or less essential for fight game fans. Add in the Switch's portability, and on-the-go multiplayer opportunities (if you're both willing to forgive the limitations of the Joy-Con) and this is everything a Street Fighter fan could hope for.
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.
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.
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.

A faithful collection that’s been lovingly built for fans, but not for newcomers
An essential release for Street Fighter fans.
