If you ask me, Street Fighter 6 is the best game in the Nintendo Switch 2's roster of launch ports. But being an incredible game doesn't necessarily mean it'll transfer well to being a good fit for the Switch; as we saw a fair few times during the life of the original Switch. And if that original Switch taught me anything, it's not especially great for fighting games, due to the Joy-Con's lack of a d-pad and the Pro Controller's d-pad – which was perhaps the mushiest d-pad ever conceived for an official controller. But after spending 10 more hours with Street Fighter 6 on Switch 2, the successor console may finally be fit to fight.
Is this the ideal way to play Street Fighter 6? Probably not. If you have a PS5 or PC, you're probably better suited to going with one of those versions if you're looking to buy just one copy of Street Fighter 6. But, as an additive to one of this decade's best fighting games, it's a great little gem to have for playing a quick round away from your TV. Granted, the full potential of having a companion version isn't quite as nice as something like Fortnite or Cyberpunk 2077, where you can continue your progress across consoles, but it's nice for brushing up on things.
