One of the big questions surrounding Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers is whether or not it’s actually a Nintendo Switch exclusive. Well, we now have our answer: it depends.
In a recent interview with IGN, producer Yoshinori Ono made the following statement regarding whether or not it’ll appear on platforms, aside from Nintendo’s upcoming console/portable hybrid: “If this title sells extremely well, we’ll consider it.” He continues by saying that, “We put a lot of thought into how this can be fully enjoyed on the Nintendo Switch, so for the time being it’s only going to be on Switch.”
So there you have it: it seems that for the time being Ultra Street Fighter II will be a Nintendo Switch exclusive, unless it sells enough to indicate that there may be demand for it beyond the platform. The question now is whether the game, with its high $40 price point (not counting a Pro Controller, or possible arcade stick) and controversial system and balance changes will actually sell well enough for them to consider the ports.
