Unlike many first-party titles launching for the Nintendo Switch 2, Street Fighter 6: Years 1-2 Fighters Edition comes in at a more budget-friendly price point of $59.99. Other enhanced Switch 2 titles, including classic Switch games reoptimized for the new hardware, are priced as high as $69.99 or even $79.99, such as Mario Kart World and Tears of the Kingdom.
Note: This Is a Game-Key Card
This version of Street Fighter 6 is distributed as a game-key card, a format becoming increasingly common for Nintendo Switch 2 software. While these cards resemble physical game cartridges in appearance, they do not contain the full game data onboard. Instead, you’ll insert the card into your Nintendo Switch 2 console and download the full game from the Nintendo eShop.
Keep in mind that the full digital download size is approximately 50GB, so you may want to consider purchasing a microSD Express card to expand your storage capacity before diving in.
What Is Street Fighter 6: Years 1-2 Fighters Edition?
The Years 1–2 Fighters Edition includes the complete base roster of characters plus all fighter additions released during the game’s first two years of post-launch support. That brings the total to 26 playable fighters and 20 stages, offering deep variety and replayability.
As for the game itself, critics have praised it extensively. From our 9/10 review of Street Fighter 6:
"Street Fighter games are always benchmark moments for the 2D fighting game genre, but Street Fighter 6 feels extra special. The Drive System is an incredible addition to the fighting mechanics that gives you a veritable Swiss Army knife of options and meter-management decisions right from the start of every single round. The starting roster is the best Street Fighter has ever seen, and its online netcode through three betas has been impeccable so far. The number of smaller details that it nails right out of the gate is unprecedented. It’s so good that even the poor story and extremely slow progression of the single-player World Tour amounts to only a jab’s worth of damage on its metaphorical health bar. Whether you’re completely new to fighting games or a seasoned vet, Street Fighter 6 is a must-play."
