Capcom has completed development on Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers, longtime Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono announced via Twitter this week (via Shoryuken).

Coming exclusively to the Nintendo Switch, the newest iteration of Street Fighter II boasts the same HD graphics that came with 2008’s Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, plus a handful of new features. Most notable is the inclusion of two new characters in Violent Ken (who first appeared as a sub-boss in SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos) and Evil Ryu (first playable in Street Fighter Alpha 2).

Also included in the new release will be the first-person “Hadouken Mode,” a digital art book, and 2-on-1 “Buddy Battle” mode, which pits two players against a single AI-controlled opponent. Players will also be able to customize the color of their fighters.

Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers will be released on May 26, 2017.
