Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection Reviews
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.
Street Fighter 30th purposes a lot of games,12, but a very few different game modes to enjoy alone or with friends.

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

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.
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.
Though the games themselves far outshine the packaging that binds them, Street Fighter: 30th Anniversary Collection is a fine celebration of one of the fighting game genre stalwarts. Plus, it's the only way to play Third Strike on current consoles, which makes it invaluable.
"A solid collection of classic Street Fighter games, though four of them get more love than the others."

If you're a die-hard arcade enthusiast, this is the only Street Fighter Collection you'll ever need.
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.

On their own, the 12 games in this collection might not be worth it to most people outside of series fans, but the full Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is a package of interesting past significance. It's the kind of thing that could be used in the future to explain the first decade of the series. Even if you would inevitably get thrashed taking this game online, this collection's overall production values and ease of use make it something that can be toyed with and enjoyed even if you can barely Hadouken. Outside of the lack of a good arcade stick option on Switch and rough online play, if you want to play some old Street Fighter games, this is likely the best option out there and should be for a long time.
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 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
The inclusion of an informative museum mode and a music player that lets you play every track in each of the games isn't what fans want out of a Street Fighter collection. That stuff might be interesting to look at for a few minutes when you first buy the game, but the things people are actually after are more effort being put into the games themselves. An option for input leniency would've been incredible, especially for those that are playing on the controller their console came with and not an arcade stick. Additional modes like Alpha 3's World Tour on the Dreamcast or 3SO's character trials would've been much so much more appreciated than what we received. This collection does exactly what it promises to do which is provide arcade ports of twelve classic games, but it does nothing more than that. The games in this collection are timeless; they deserved far more respect than this.
As a collection of Street Fighter games, it's hard to say anything bad about the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection. It's a full-blown compilation of the very best fighting games in the world. (Also, it includes the original Street Fighter.) For anyone looking to play these classics with friends, it's hard to go wrong here and the robust Museum is the icing on this multi-layered cake.
Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is an arcade perfect collection of twelve titles across Street Fighter's grand history. Unfortunately, it's missing some of the bells and whistles of their console counterparts and online play is a bit rough. Despite those problems, local play is a winner and the Museum is packed with content showing a real love for the franchise's history. If you know what you're getting into, Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is a great compilation, just not a perfect one.
A faithful collection that’s been lovingly built for fans, but not for newcomers
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.
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.

So overall I’d say the this collection did an amazing job at bringing arcade perfect ports to the latest console generation as well as preserving some amazing history through the design docs, art work etc. The main issue being the online is a little wonky right now can hopefully be fixed. If that happens we have a really special collection, which I’ll be playing for hours on end regardless.
