I love street fighter but most versions can be emulated perfectly by hardware that costs a fraction of £40 like entry level android boxes or old original xbox consoles. Even the latest entry level smart phones will do the job well. I'm trying to think how many better street fighter games I already have in my library, at least 2 dozen. Last versions I bought were on the US psn store in a sale for 60c each or something. They all seem better than this Switch version too. 

 

If you want to get close to the original experience, soft mod an original xbox, put on console and arcade emulators with roms of all the street fighter games and attach a CRT not LCD for 0ms lag and the true experience.  How much for an original xbox £5-10 and a portable CRT probably even less money. If your feeling ambitious stick it all in a home made arcade cabinet. 

 

I think the Switch version should have been a compilation of many of the classic street fighter games perhaps up to dreamcast releases or even later. The roms are relatively small and the later 3do, ps1, saturn and dreamcast versions could have their soundtracks heavily compressed or possibly simplified or removed if necessary or even a download option for those who want them. Just feels like zero effort has been made to make the Switch game.
