Final Words: Street Fighter: 30th Anniversary Collection is a love letter to lifelong fans of Capcom's timeless fighting franchise. While it's heart is definitely in the right place, there are some flaws worth reading about (so continue reading). On the bright side... the Interactive Timeline, Fun Facts, Music, and Art Galleries of SF:30th might make this package an immediate must-own for most fighting game historians and enthusiasts.


No load times on game start, save states, and various graphical options are nice features. However, the collection doesn't come without flaws. For starters: A wonky button configuration screen and no online or practice mode for "most" of the featured games. For the games that do have online and practice modes, they are mostly functional and feel nearly arcade-perfect, but for the nitpickers... there are some inconsistencies and the ports definitely aren't the best ports available in terms of performance.


The first Street Fighter: Anniversary Collection on PS2 was a solid and memorable package for its time (in addition to Street Fighter Alpha: Anthology).
As good as those package were, there was no online mode at all... so you needed to have actual human friends over to enjoy it to the fullest. Those were the days huh? In case your local friends don't play anymore, SF:30th at least lets you attempt to play some of the all-time best Street Fighter titles online with other players from the comfort of your own home. The 4-player battle lobbies are a nice touch and work pretty well. The netcode has its ups and downs, and while imperfect, offers a "playable" experience at the very least.


Street Fighter: 30th Anniversary Collection
should offer years of replayability online and offline with new and old friends. If you've enjoyed the Fighters Generation website for historical value and nostalgia over the years... you should probably check out SF: 30th Anniversary Collection for the same reason. As a Street Fighter fan since the birth of the genre, I'm personally happy this package exists. If Capcom released an update adding Practice and Online Modes to some of the other games (or even additional games), this package could've been a lot better. There are some disappointing aspects of this collection, considering its potential, but 30th Anniversary Collection is probably worth owning for most Street Fighter fans.
