Nintendo is distributing Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers in Australia

Nintendo Australia has announced that it will be taking the distributing reigns of Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers when it launches here on May 26th. It will retail for $59.95AUD.

What does this really mean for you? Not much really but at least we know Nintendo will have decent stocks of the game. Nintendo handle some, if not most of Capcom’s output on their systems usually anyway.

Along with the confirmed date and price we also got some new information and screens, check it out below.

On top of the 17 classic characters returning to compete in the second World Warrior tournament, powerful new additions Violent Ken and Evil Ryu both join the roster. Violent Ken, who has been brainwashed by M. Bison, and Evil Ryu, the form Ryu takes after succumbing to darkness, are perfect for those that like a highly aggressive playing style. Once players have selected their preferred fighter, they can enjoy a number of modes:

• In Arcade mode, a single player must defeat 12 warriors on the path to becoming the World Warrior champion
• Prepare for intense co-op battles as two friends can team up in Buddy Battle to throw down new two-player combos and attack their opponents from both sides
• Fight locally against a friend or against the CPU in Versus mode
• Go online and fight against the best players across the mode in either ranked or casual matches
• Brush up on old skills – or learn new ones – in the training mode before taking on new challengers
• In the brand new mode called Way of the Hado, players can play a unique first-person mode and experience what it’s like to be Ryu. By using motion controls to perform moves, players can fight off an onslaught of opponents using the iconic Shoryuken (dragon punch), Tatsumaki Senpukyaku (hurricane kick), and Ryu’s fireball super combo, Shinku Hadoken

For those new to Street Fighter who are looking to level the playing field against more experienced players, there’s an option to switch between Lite and Pro controls. Lite controls let players perform special moves or super combos by either touching the touch screen or pressing a single button, whereas traditional Pro controls offer all the classic button inputs engrained into players’ muscle memory. The game also supports the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, available separately.

Regardless of their experience level, all players can fight in style by using the Colour Editor to customise the colour scheme of their favourite character, giving them their ideal look. Enter the style settings and select between new high-definition visuals for a modern look, or select classic graphics and witness Street Fighter II just as it was in the arcades. Fight fans can relive their favourite local matches and show off their best combos to impressed passers-by with the replay feature. Take a break from brawling and visit the gallery, which includes over 1,400 highly detailed illustrations from throughout the Street Fighter series, taken from the out-of-print Street Fighter Artworks: Supremacy book.
