With the release of Nintendo's latest generation console, the Nintendo Switch, now just right around the corner, the list of games that will become available for the console is continually growing. Several unique titles that will be exclusive for the Switch are expected to be released and Capcom has now unveiled one of them in the form of a new "Street Fighter" title called "Ultra Street Fighter 2."

Most "Street Fighter" fighting video game installments are typical 2D titles with opponents facing each other in an enclosed stage. However, the upcoming "Ultra Street Fighter 2" title will add a unique feature that will allow gamers to play the game in a first-person perspective.

The new mode for "Ultra Street Fighter 2," called "Way of the Hado," will let users utilize the Switch's gyro-equipped JoyCon controllers to trigger different moves as they fight off waves of enemies. In a live Twitch stream, via VG247, developers of the game had showcased some of the moves that can be done with the controllers in the new mode.

The Twitch video shows how simply performing an uppercut motion would result in a Shoryuken move to be triggered. Similarly, other movements would trigger other attacks such as Haodukens, dragon punches, and even hurricane kicks.

A report from Gamespot does point out that there is apparently a slight lag between the controller inputs and the triggered moves themselves, which could indicate that there may be some refinement that needs to be done before the game is ready to be released. Aside from the brand new first person mode, the game itself will feature several standard fighting game modes, such as an arcade mode, a versus mode, and an online battle mode.

Capcom has yet to announce when "Ultra Street Fighter 2" will be released, but it has mentioned that it would be coming out within the year. The Nintendo Switch console, on the other hand, is scheduled to be released early next month, on March 3.
