I liked it from the time I played it on the Dreamcast and the PSP. The problem is, they are not doing much to it to make old hat fans like want to support it on newer consoles at a premium price.
It is an acquired taste, that is for sure. I certainly would not drop $30+ on it just to play on a modern console though.
I agree with you on the Switch should have gotten a revamped Street Fighter III (we all know how Capcom loves to update and add - why not give the Switch a special edition?). I guess Capcom is all about pushing SF II instead, another game that I am pretty much not going to support for $30+ just to play on a modern console - I have bought and played so many versions in the past that I am over the "fun" of guiding the World Warriors through battle one more time.
I did see where they announced the amazing upcoming Street Fighter collection for switch! Wow! I will definitely be picking that one up, most likely digitally :-) I am entirely digital with my switch and it is so nice not having to fiddle with cartridges.
I am wanting to get a Switch and that Street Fighter collection just makes it even more of a reason to get one. Sure, it will be on other platforms but I cannot easily play them on the go.
