It’s been almost 35 years since the original Street Fighter graced arcades, and Capcom is gearing up for a year of celebrations. As is the case with such events, it’s created a bespoke logo to mark the occasion, and – on its Japanese Twitter account at least – has urged fighting game fans to look forward to “future developments” in the franchise.
Presumably, this will mean a spate of new merchandise, including clothing, action figures, and more. It could, of course, also lead to new game announcements. We know that Street Fighter 6 is in development, and Street Fighter 5 newcomer Luke is attached to the sequel in some way. Some had expected the title to be announced as early as next month’s Capcom Cup, but it’s been cancelled due to coronavirus.
For its 30th anniversary, a compilation package featuring Street Fighter, Street Fighter II Turbo, and Street Fighter III: Third Strike – among others – was released on the PlayStation 4, although a fresh set of ports seems unlikely at this juncture. Nevertheless, speaking with 4Gamer over the holiday period, series director Takayuki Nakayama teased that his team have been “working on various projects” to mark this year’s milestone.

35 years!? No. Stop. You're crazy.
Now I'm getting nostalgic for C64 and arcade machines in the chipper.
just give us some ps5 upgrades for sf5 and i'll be happy.
They should 100% do skins based on the rubbish/amazing movie. They did it in MK11, I’d love to play as Kylie in Street Fighter.
A Street Fighter 1 Remake Would Be Nice We Got Like 200 Versions Of 2
Street Fighter 6 will definitely be announced.
@twitchtvpat hell no , many people are dying for street fighter 6 to come out . updating one of the worst SFs to date would be a waste
Street Fighter Alpha 4 would be awesome😁 with amazing looking 2D art of course (not a big fan of the 3d giant body, small headed play-doh character designs of SF4/5)
@Ichiban hell yeah ! some people are speculating SF6 to be like an alpha-successor , & i’m hoping it is too .
fun fact - street fighter 4 was akin to SF2 turbos art style but in “3-D” .
Street fighter 4 was still one of my favorites. As a long time fan from the snes era i was thrilled when it was first announced, especially after such a long time since the last game. I was unsure on the art style to begin with but once i played it i loved it. Also loved Alpha 2 and 3 on the PS1. That M. Bison soundtrack on the grass stage 👌👌👌
give us another collection of games like you did with Street Fighter 30th Anniversary!!!
I remember coming back from Jamaica in 1991 (I think) and my dad having an SNES unwrapped under the tree with Street Fighter II brand new right next to it. Have to say that was my best Christmas as a kid!
@Areus Yeah… Street Fighter 1 is abominably bad. Like truly horrible. They’ve done the right thing by completely ignoring that game, there’s nothing worth salvaging.
@twitchtvpat we got Jill & Chris fortnite skins for resident evils 25th anniversary 🙄 can see them doing the same thing with this if the characters haven't already been added to it
I dont like the art work on ryu..he looks like one of the vampires from the lost boys..
@Northern_munkey Hey, that’s a good thing. The Lost Boys is a classic!
Damn I'm old that this is so fond to me, Allugen!
@nessisonett Very true, when you play it you have to wonder how a second game even got approved 🤔
@nessisonett That's Why I Said Remake As The Game Could Use A Complete Overhaul.They Could Even Have It Look And Play Like Street Fighter Alpha.
Does that "6" in Street Fighter 6 means number of loading screens between fights like it was in SF5???
Been playing the series since I could hold a controller. I like a lot of fighters but Street Fighter will never be dethroned for me as my favorite. There's just something great about how they feel to play that keeps me coming back. My personal favorite of the series is SFV which I know people love to hate on but in my opinion SF has never felt better than in SFV.
All that said congrats for 35 years and I'm of course very interested in SF6 whenever it is ready to be revealed. I honestly don't know what I want to see from it really. I guess I just hope it stays true to SF's feel and doesn't try to speed everything up. SFV feels like the perfect speed for me and I ain't getting any younger!
@Shepherd_Tallon I'm only just old enough to remember Donkey Kong in the chipper before it became just gambling machines.
@nessisonett indeed it is..
@MightyDemon82 1942 and Turtles Arcade are the ones that have stuck with me. Buy a bag of chips on a Saturday, play a few rounds with the change.
@Shepherd_Tallon 2 of my favourite cabinets right there, I would add The Simpsons to that too (I swear I can still hear the sound of Bart & Lisa screaming when they doubled up with the skipping rope). So many great memories including SF2 and Final Fight etc.. I could go on!
Please no NFT's please no NFT's
@Mostik Ah yes! I don't know why Simpsons arcade wasn't in my head. I haven't thought about it in years, but now that you mention it, it's right there again.
@Areus At that point it wouldn’t be Street Fighter 1. If you made it like Alpha you’d still have Ryu and Blonde Ryu as the only characters. You can only overhaul something like that so much.
Damn the franchise is older than me, I was born almost 33 years ago.
With Capcom Cup's live event being cancelled who knows when they'll announce SFVI. Could happen any random day, same with Netherrealm's new game at this point since it didn't show up at TGA's.
