$29.99 on the US shop, for those wondering. This is exactly the sale I’ve been waiting for!

It's still the case that you can't choose to play online with your friends, right? (Only random matchmaking with strangers).

That's the single thing stopping me buying this right now..

Picked up a Switch, WTF is this eshop?

No Browse by category, publisher, or genre? Am I supposed to shop on their website and remote download or something?

If you go to Search, then Filtered Search, you can search by Genre (and price range and a few others). I don't think there's any option to search by Publisher or anything though on the actual console. It is pretty bare-bones. The website is much more featured.

Does PSN let you do this? I can't remember the last time I sorted anything by publisher outside of Steam.

The eShop on the 3DS and WiiU iirc let you search or sort by Publisher and a bunch of other criteria.

The one good thing I will say about the Switch eshop is that it's fast, especially compared to that clunky 3ds eshop.

You know why the UI is so simple, it's so it takes less than a second to do things which is wonderful

The only thing I'd possibly want is folders/ the ability to organize the home screen, the switch has quite a pile of games by now and sometimes just displaying the 12 most recently opened things isn't very convenient.

Same. As much as I would like more stuff, that fast UI rules especially by today’s standards with Doritos Locos Tacos ads clogging up everything else.

The thing I've always hoped for, so it will never happen, is tags

I do like folders, but, in the context of games, and the different ways you might like to organize them, I'd be into a system that covers all of that. Say for example you want to put all your Mario games in one spot, but you also want to organize by console, or genre



And then obviously, add a button to enable browsing and searching through tags. I like the UI in the design department, but as the system matures, I hope that they work on the UX

I ordered it on Amazon for the physical copy discount, but it won't be here until Thursday for some reason... not that I am in a hurry. I didn't get the Final Challenge and I wasn't going to get the Anniversary Collection until I saw that the original SF and Alpha 3 were in it. The former I have a strong fondness for despite the fact that it's crap; the latter is my favourite fighting game of all time and I wanted it on a mobile platform apart from my now-dormant PSP.

I did and half the online matches are so laggy they could have called it Street Fighter II RPG Turn Based Battle Edition.

If you don't get a reaction you can always change it up to "roguelike." One of the two is guaranteed to make someone hyperventilate.

Also getting that SF Collection tomorrow, though I am a bit miffed that Alpha 3 is missing the 2 or 3 modes we got on consoles and doesn't get the 6 extra characters from console iterations.

That is a little disappointing. It was too much to hope that we would get the PSP version that has all of the bells and whistles, but this is a let down.

I'm kind of amazed that the Street Fighter Collection doesn't seem to show you a connection strength with other players online. I'd never accept half of these fights if I knew they'd be so laggy.

I'm playing on Steam and I have the same complaint. Not only should you be able to see other people's connections, but you should be able to limit matchmaking to pair you up only with low-latency connections. And there should also be a separate and super-cool matchmaking pool exclusively for players who have agreed not to pick O. Sagat.
