Switch exclusive Ultra Street Fighter 2 has a first-person mode

Switch gamers can play Street Fighter 2 as (probably) never before.

As spotted by some eagle-eyed fans in the Ultra Street Fighter 2: The Final Challengers reveal trailer, the new Switch exclusive version of Capcom's legendary versus brawler includes a first-person mode.

Nintendo Everything harvested this intel from a photo of the Ultra Street Fighter 2's box, now that Switch images are starting to come out of Japan.

According to the site's translation, the new mode is designed for JoyCon controllers. It's called "Unleash! Hadoken", where the Japanese character for "do" has been placed with the English letters, presumably as a play on the fact that a first-person, motion-controlled mode is more like really "doing" what the character is.

There's a screenshot on the box if you really squint, and you can see multiple enemies and a timer. That suggests it won't just be a perspective twist on normal Ultra Street Fighter 2 gameplay but something quite different. Given the name, fireballs are likely to be involved.

Ultra Street Fighter 2 has not been dated beyond 2017. Look for it sometime after switch launches in early March.

One other major point of interest from the Ultra Street Fighter 2 Switch box is that there'll be an art gallery with over 250 images. Nice.
