Street Fighter 6

Street Fighter 6 frame rate resolution

The latest Digital Foundry Nintendo Switch 2 technical analysis is for Street Fighter 6, which goes over a variety of details like resolution and frame rate.

For the most part, Capcom seems to have delivered an admirable port, with DLSS being used to help with image quality. The frame rate – which is key for fighting titles – is also stable in primary fights.

Below is the full roundup of tidbits:

Street Fighter 6 Aespa and Naevis collaboration

Capcom isn’t slowing down with its support for Street Fighter 6, and today pulled back the curtain on a new collaboration with Aespa and Naevis. The fun begins on July 4, 2025.

Aespa is a South Korean girl group while Naevis is a virtual idol and extension of that. Fans will be able to get their hands on a new Aespa outfit for Juri (for one year only). Additionally, Naevis will join as a real-time commentator.

System: Switch 2
Release date: June 5, 2025
Developer: Capcom
Publisher: Capcom

When Nintendo revealed Switch 2 earlier this year, of all the games announced to be releasing alongside the system on launch day, it was Street Fighter 6 that had me the most excited. The original Nintendo Switch missed out on some major releases in the fighting game genre; outside of Smash Bros. Ultimate and some iffy Mortal Kombat ports, the pickings were slim for those seeking a flashy modern, 3D fighting game (although we did get what felt like roughly a thousand retro fighting game collections.) These titles have always felt like such a natural fit for handheld play to me, so when Street Fighter 6 released to near universal critical acclaim on other platforms a few years ago, I was eager to someday play it on a console where I could hone my skills at home or on the go. Fortunately, while Street Fighter 6 had to make a few compromises to make it onto Nintendo Switch 2, for the most part this is an excellent way to enjoy Capcom’s premier current-gen fighting game.

If you’re looking to see what Street Fighter 6 is all about, you might be interested to know that a demo is available.

This is actually the first very demo for Nintendo Switch 2. As of now that’s the only one available for the system.

Nintendo Switch 2 game-key cards

Physical games are still happening on Nintendo Switch 2, but something new is being thrown into the mix with what is being called game-key cards.

Nintendo says that these are a new cartridge type that don’t have data. In order to play them, you will need to download the game from the Internet like a digital version. The cartridge will still be needed to play. It goes without saying, but you’ll need enough space available for that download.

Street Fighter 6 Nintendo Switch 2

Street Fighter 6, the latest entry in Capcom’s legendary fighting series, is heading to Nintendo Switch 2 complete with new amiibo. That news was just shared during today’s Nintendo Direct dedicated to the new console.

This mimics Capcom’s approach with the Nintendo 3DS many years ago. For the launch of that system, the company had Super Street Fighter 4: 3D Edition ready to go for launch.
