"During the fighting game heyday of the 1990s, there were loads of options available on the Super Nintendo, with classics such as Street Fighter 2, Mortal Kombat, and Killer Instinct being household names. However, as time passed and Nintendo experimented with unconventional hardware compared to Sony or Microsoft, the chances you'd find a fighting game on that system that wasn't developed by Nintendo diminished."
"That's not to say there weren't options, but things were a bit barren for quite a while. Thankfully, we now live in happier times where, thanks to the Switch's hybrid console and handheld approach, the genre has seen a resurgence. Here you'll find a diverse list ranging from competitive arcade brawlers and platform fighters to retro collections and some less conventional picks. A few of these are also console exclusive, meaning you won't find them anywhere else."
"All of the listed games will work on Nintendo Switch 2, and in some cases, it's recommended that you only play them on the newer handheld. You'll mostly see better load times across the board, but there's occasionally added visual clarity and improved frame rates that make specific titles that are available on other platforms a bit more comparable."
During the 1990s, fighting games were abundant on the Super Nintendo with titles like Street Fighter 2, Mortal Kombat, and Killer Instinct. Nintendo's unconventional hardware later reduced third-party fighting game support on its systems. The Switch's hybrid console/handheld design has driven a resurgence in the genre, bringing competitive arcade brawlers, platform fighters, retro collections, and unconventional picks to Nintendo platforms. Several fighting games are exclusive to Nintendo hardware. All listed games run on Nintendo Switch 2, which often delivers better load times, visual clarity, and improved frame rates. Consistent, high frame rates are essential for responsive, competitive fighting-game play.
