Haha, you only need four of the Street Fighter 30th Collection that's in that pack. I only ordered one of the pack, and it hasn't arrived yet (it did ship).

For anyone else wondering, the pack he is referring to is this Japanese-only bundle:



Includes the new Capcom Fighting Collection (basically Darkstalkers collection):

And Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection International:


The difference between the International (the Japanese release) vs the regular version of this collection is that it includes the Japanese and US version of every game, whereas the western versions of the game only include the US versions. The Japanese physical release was only sold with an art book originally, making it pretty expensive nowadays, unless purchased in the Fighting Legends Pack.

Every Nintendo Switch copy of SF 30th (International and regular) includes Super Street Fighter II: The Tournament Battle:



Exclusive to the Switch, you can link four Switches together for an 8 player simultaneous battle! All of the versions are compatible and able to be linked with each other for local play. Myself, I have the physical of the US version, digital of the International, and soon physical of the International. Just need one more copy (and a fourth Switch).

I think I got mine earlier than was supposed due to FedEx screw-up???

I had to custom declare a package (delivery expected June 30th) (another from PlayAsia) and instead they released and delivered this (expected delivery July 4th), and the one I declared should arrive tomorrow/today.

Anyway the Fighting collection has also e-shop code in it for (What I understand is: Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium's Wonder 3 - W3 - 3 games in 1Board: Roosters, Chariot and something with Bomberman.

BTW that first image lies.
That card board sleeve is not snug-fit for two Switch cases but for two PS4 cases with padding.

Nice to get a screw up in your favor!

Nice, forgot about that. Stupid that these Stadiums have all that overlap, though.

Well, I guess that makes sense. They did the same thing with Sega's multiplatform games (Sonic Mania, Sonic Colors, Monkey Ball).
