That’s some bullshit. Not radical at all.
More chevy nova than bossanova
A $100 costume pack? Tell me… you didn’t pay money for this.
Don’t buy the game then. Editor won’t stop if their sales don’t decrease.
The game is great and easily the best japanese fighting game experience for casuals. (Mechanically I prefer anime fighters though.) For once a Japanese game has all the bells and whistles instead of almost purely focusing on the multiplayer.
The cosmetics are what they are. At least it’s not p2w but it’s up to consumers to not spend if they don’t agree with paying more in a game they already bought.
Edit: downvote me all you want but the truth is that street fighter 6 was a very big step forward for japanese fighting games in terms of what they offer consumers. The fgc hasn’t had games that can truly appeal to and bring in new players so I can’t help but be happy for it. The only exceptions would be NRS’s games and smash.
I don’t know why people hate on this so much. Cosmetics are how they want to make money and it doesn’t fuck up the game play.
The issue is that it’s a full $60 dollar title on top of the fact that the have $60 ninja turtle skins and a battlepass. They don’t want to make good money, they want to make all the money.
The game has sold over 2 million copies. They do not need to do this, they were already raking in the money
I agree with everything you’re saying. 6 is an excellent game for a multitude of reasons, but why stress the “Japanese” part? SF is the most popular fighting game series and pretty much always has been.
Because NRS actually has been putting out quality games for casuals such as mortal kombat. Unfortunately, they have a few divergences from traditional games that segments of the community don’t like, such as a block button. So a lot of the well regarded fighting games are still from japanese devs. Examples are street fighter from capcom, guilty gear from arcsys, tekken from namco. None of which had the full package triple a game experience before sf6. Unfortunately western fighting games might have been better for consumers, but for a long time and often even now people within the fgc have not considered them real fighting games. Same applies to smash, though an additional part of the divide there is because they’re very secular. Smashers play only smash and don’t play other games often, where an evo entrant this year was likely to enter both sf6 and strive.
15 dollars per turtle! Sing with me lads:
60 DOLLARS NINJA TURTLES, 60 DOLLARS NINJA TURTLES4 COSMETIC ITEMS, FULL PRICED GAME!
Capcom’s aggressive monetization is killing my desire to play this game. There’s so much I like, but they’ve made the monetization impossible to ignore
I don’t mind adding cosmetics for money, but the base game should have included 10+ colors for each character. Having to buy colors 3-10 individually feels scummy. Not even the ultimate edition included the costumes.
Now, at locals, every character looks the same.
Remember having to enter DRULYB to get a different outfit?

Okay the prices for the TMNT costumes are ridiculous for world tour only cosmetics, but to say the monetization is impossible to ignore is a stretch. There’s still a full game if you can handle not caring about paid cosmetics.
Suckers.
