Original Story: [Fri 11th Apr, 2025 00:45 BST] Last week, Capcom said Street Fighter 6 is coming to Switch 2. Now they’re saying Elena, a character from Street Fighter III, will be joining the game on the same day it drops on Switch 2, June 5th, 2025. She’ll be playable in all the modes, like World Tour and stuff.
This lines up with the Switch 2 launch, which is good news for Nintendo fans. The Switch 2 version includes all characters and stages from Year 1 and Year 2. Here’s the full list of characters you’ll get in Street Fighter 6 on Switch 2:
• Ryu
• Luke
• Jamie
• Chun-Li
• Kimberly
• Juri
• Ken
• Blanka
• Dhalsim
• E.Honda
• Dee Jay
• Manon
• Marisa
• JP
• Zangief
• Lily
• Cammy
• Rashid (Year 1)
• A.K.I (Year 1)
• Ed (Year 1)
• Akuma (Year 1)
• M.Bison (Year 2)
• Terry (Year 2)
• Mai (Year 2)
• Elena (Year 2)
Capcom is also dropping a set of 22 amiibo cards and three amiibo for Luke, Jamie, and Kimberly. These will let you save your character’s look, controls, and get special items.
Street Fighter 6 on Switch will have cross-platform play at 60fps. There are new modes like Gyro Battle and Calorie Contest. In Gyro Battle, you use gyro controls, and in Calorie Contest, you burn calories with the Joy-Con 2. Seems like a workout!
So, what do you think of Elena joining the crew? Let us know in the comments.
