The perfect homage to a series of true fighting game greats, the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is essential.
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.
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.
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 essential release for Street Fighter fans.
Street Fighter's refined gameplay mechanics have managed to stand the test of time and get better with each successive update and sequel. This compilation offers a playable explanation as to why Capcom's most popular fighting game series still remains relevant and beloved to today's crop of gamers.
A solid anniversary collection featuring some of the most memorable Street Fighter games. The focus on making it a complete arcade perfect experience also ends up being its biggest drawback.
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.

Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection (what a mouthful) is a celebration of all things Street Fighter, including sketches and behind the scenes of the games for the last three decades. The collection perfectly emulates playing in the arcades, even adding optional frames that let you feel like you’re actually playing in a big, boxy, Stranger Things-related gaming machine.
The Street Fighter 30th Anniversary collection is an amazing purchase for fans of the franchise who would love to play the iconic games which helped make this series one of the best fighting games in the world. Would I have liked other titles such as Street Fighter IV? Sure, but I imagine they didn't include these as they are already readily available on the current generation of consoles. There is a tonne of content here, whether you wish to play solo through the twelve campaigns, play against your friends one-on-one, play the arcade online in four titles and have random people jump in to fight you, or just head online to kick some ass – you won't be bored of this title for a while!
Once again Capcom creates a fighting game meant for fighting gamers, specifically fighting gamers that want to re-live Street Fighter's history.
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.
A worthy celebration of one of the most important franchises in gaming, although by leaving out Street Fighter's console heritage there are a few gaps in the content.
The new Street Fighter collection ensures the series' most influential chapters are here to stay.
This collection isn't for everyone, and you'll likely not play every one of the 12 games intensely. However, it's worth picking up if you're a fan of the series or of 2D fighting games in general, and even my time in the weaker entries of the franchise was filled with nostalgia.
A great compilation that lacks a bunch of extra possibilities to be the kind of homage that this series deserve.

The collection is a faithful representation of the arcade classics with a rich and deep museum to fill your brain with enough Street Fighter lore and history to last you for years.
For me, six out of twelve is pretty much enough to justify the price of entry. Grabbing each of those games individually, even on last-generation hardware, would still be pretty expensive. If you're a die-hard Street Fighter acolyte, there's no question about it: the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is a must-have.
