Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Capcom: Ultra Street Fighter II Was A "Smash Hit" On Switch

Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers was Capcom's first major release for the Switch, but it came as something of a disappointment. Recycled content and a laughably poor first-person mode made it an unconvincing debut, despite the presence of that tried-and-tested Street Fighter magic.

While the game received a somewhat lukewarm critical reception, Capcom seems to be pretty happy with how it performed commercially. In the company's recent earnings report, the Japanese giant claimed that the title had been a "smash hit":

Ultra Street Fighter II (for Nintendo Switch), which was released in May 2017, made an excellent start and proved to be a smash hit.

No actual sales figures were forthcoming. The 2D fighter - along with Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and Monster Hunter XX - contributed to increased sales for the quarter:

The resulting net sales were 7,688 million yen (up 14.1% from the same term in the previous year) and operating income was 1,676 million yen (compared with an operating income of 8 million yen for the same term in the previous year).

Hopefully, the robust performance of Ultra Street Fighter II will convince Capcom to bring more content to the Switch in the future.

I hope this will help in decision that Capcom brings much more titles to Switch.

I keep forgetting Resident Evil 7 even fucking exists. It's like no one has talked it about it all since a month after it's released.



You know what that means... more $60 SNES re-releases! Oh joy!



So how about localizing MHXX then Capcom?



Please Capcom make a Remastered The King Of Dragon ? Switch will keep Alive Again this Old IP?

Capcom updated the sales figures on their websites - 3.7M copies shipped. Ultra Street Fighter 2 nowhere to be found on that list so it sold less than 1M copies.



How about bring RE0, RE1, RE4, RE5, RE6, RE Revelations 1 and RE Revelations 2 on the Switch?

I'll mention more: Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Dead Rising, Lost Planet, Monster Hunter XX, Devil May Cry 4, Strider & Ultra Street Fighter 4.

Edit: Dragon's Dogma



3rd parties could've made big bucks had they ported some classics during the Swish launch window, they still can.

I'm not saying it sold bad, I know it sold well, but I don't here many people talking about it. I remember when it first came out people said it might be a GOTY contender and now silence. I know it's been out for 6 months but damn idk.

Monster Huner xx is already coming, they just don't know if they'll make an english release(which they probably won't, but you can always port the game if you are willing to learn japanese)
