The specialist retailer may be drumming up last-minute pre-orders for the upcoming PlayStation 4 version, and accidentally wrote Nintendo Switch on a scheduled tweet without realising. Other than that, it could simply be a mistake that EB Games Canada has made.

In this game, the player plays as the martial artist Ryu, competing in a world martial arts tournament spanning five countries and 10 opponents. Even though, seeing as it has been developed using Unreal Engine 4, the porting process to the portable home console would be approachable. Street Fighter, designed by Takashi Nishiyama and Hiroshi Matsumoto, debuted in arcades in 1987. The “strategic partnership” that was made between Sony Computer Entertainment and Capcom for the original base game may also dampen such chances further. However, Street Fighter V Champion Edition is still yet to release on PlayStation 4 and PC and, with little over two weeks to go until they launch, it doesn’t seem to be a particularly feasible time for them to make a surprise reveal that the game is coming to another platform. The iconic fighting series has been met with tremendous success on Nintendo Switch, and it wouldn’t be completely unimaginable to see Capcom want to continue to build on that.

Capcom pitches Street Fighter V Champion Edition as “the most robust version of the acclaimed fighting game,” letting players choose from 40 fighters, 34 dynamic stages, and more than 200 stylish costumes across both single-player and multiplayer modes.
