Update for Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection coming June 28, details revealed

Improvements incoming!

Capcom promised us “improvements” to the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection — and today, they have revealed both when we’ll be seeing a patch and what it will address (at least on every platform but the Switch).

PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Steam users can expect an update tomorrow, June 28, around 10:00 AM PT. A patch is still on the way for the Switch version as well, but is taking longer to prepare and still doesn’t have a set launch date.

So, what’s in the patch? There were a number of things fans wanted fixes for, and it looks like at least some will be fixed up. Here’s the list from Capcom-Unity:

PlayStation 4:

  • A matchmaking filter has been added. Users will now be able to select the minimum connection strength for opponents to match up with online
  • Lobby issues have been improved
  • Akuma is no longer playable in Ranked Mode for Super Street Fighter II Turbo
  • Street Fighter III: New Generation and Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact – Giant Attack now output sound in stereo
  • Various localization improvements

Xbox One:

  • Akuma is no longer playable in Ranked Mode for Super Street Fighter II Turbo
  • Street Fighter III: New Generation and Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact – Giant Attack now output sound in stereo
  • Various localization improvements
  • Note: The Xbox One version of Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection currently uses Microsoft’s system for optimizing matchmaking for users with strong signals. Therefore, a matchmaking filter was not implemented

Steam:

  • A matchmaking filter has been added. Users will now be able to select the minimum connection strength for opponents to match up with online
  • A fix for direct input controllers where some users were unable to use diagonal movements
  • Akuma is no longer playable in Ranked Mode for Super Street Fighter II Turbo
  • Street Fighter III: New Generation and Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact – Giant Attack now output sound in stereo
  • A matchmaking filter has been added. Users will now be able to select the minimum connection strength for opponents to match up with online

I’m not sure what “various localization improvements” means, but overall this looks to cover most of the complaints so far — outside of adding additional versions/upgrades of the games (which some players are still hoping for). Look for the update tomorrow morning!

Koihime Enbu RyoRaiRai is coming on July 12th — a major update that rebalances the game, adds 2 characters

Degica Games and Unknown Games have a new announcement: the makers of Koihime Enbu — a game which features female characters based off the Romance of the Three Kingdoms — are overhauling the title in an updated version based off the arcade edition that adds new content and rebalances the fighters.

New fighter Chōryō joins the cast, wielding a powerful naginata. The other new character Kaku is her strategist, available as an assist character, who uses ice attacks. Speaking of assists, there are no more faction restrictions on those. Players can also find two new colors for every character, new combos, additional options in Training Mode, and a brand new Challenge Mode.

Check it all out in action in the trailer below; this updated version releases on July 12th this year for PlayStation 4 and Steam. The price isn’t listed yet. The current version of Koihime Enbu is also 75% off on Steam.
