While at EVO, there was a line tat the Capcom booth to play as Sagat before the public had access to play as the long standing Ryu rival. There was a loophole though. If you wanted to play Sagat in Street Fighter 6 for the Nintendo Switch 2, you could skip the line. For some reason, there was hardly anyone who wanted to play the Switch 2 version, and I thought that was weird. So here's that footage.
Then I wondered, why does Street Fighter 6 on the Nintendo Switch 2 get such a bad rep? I asked Capcom to send over a copy, and man, I kind of love it. I don't care that there are less people in the background. I don't care what Andrade Jr. looks like in the background. Sure, there are less people in the background, and the story mode runs a little less than expected during fights, but as far as online, and the other modes, the Switch 2 version runs pretty good for me. In handheld, it even runs at 120FPS, if you turn it on. Ignore my digs into the Nintendo 64, and a quick look at the new Shinobi game, and view that here.
If you STILL don't believe me, Maximilian Dood did a deeper dive into the Nintendo Switch 2 version, and his video is here. He calls it "crazy impressive", while calling out some caveats. And if you don't believe us, when we say this version holds up, then get it for yourself. You can get it now with seasons 1-2 characters, or the vanilla version.
