A number of outlets recently went hands-on with Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection. Among what was shown, we have first word on a Switch-exclusive mode.
Game Informer reports that on Switch, Super Street Fighter II’s tournament mode lets players with multiple systems put them into tabletop mode and play musical chairs by physically moving to the right unit for the next fight. The site does say that it allows for tournaments to “move fairly quickly by making the fights proceed concurrently,” but “it can also be kind of a confusing mess figuring out which system and controller you need to be at for your next match.”

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
It’s unclear if the Switch title Gal Metal will ever head west. Still, if you’re interested in seeing what the music / rhythm game has to offer, you can nab a free demo on the Japanese eShop.
Finding the demo won’t be entirely easy, since you need to type in Japanese characters to search for it. The easiest way is probably to just use the default search tab and continue going down the page until you see the thumbnail pictured above. Click on Gal Metal’s eShop listing, then select the second option underneath pricing (5,378 yen) to begin downloading the demo.
Thanks to m_t for the tip.
