Celebrate 35 years of World Warrior action with an officially licensed wearable packed with Street Fighter II nostalgia.
My Play Watch has teamed up with Capcom to announce the Street Fighter II: My Play Watch, a new collectable gaming wearable celebrating the 35th anniversary of one of the most influential fighting games ever created.
Available now for pre-order, this officially licensed watch blends retro gaming nostalgia with everyday functionality, wrapped in a striking design finished in genuine 14-karat gold.
A Mini Street Fighter II on Your Wrist
The headline feature is a built-in Street Fighter II-inspired game developed in collaboration with Capcom.
Designed specifically for short bursts of play, the wrist-sized fighter lets players choose from all eight original World Warriors:
- Ryu
- Ken
- Chun-Li
- Guile
- E. Honda
- Blanka
- Dhalsim
- Zangief
Players battle through iconic locations inspired by the arcade classic, facing an endless stream of challengers including rival fighters and legendary bosses such as Balrog, Vega, Sagat and M. Bison.
Using touchscreen controls, combat revolves around timing three attack types:
- Low attacks
- Overhead attacks
- Anti-air attacks
Success depends on reading your opponent and choosing the correct move at exactly the right moment. One mistake can be the difference between victory and a quick knockout.
Each fighter maintains their own high score table, encouraging players to experiment and discover which character best suits their play style.
Authentic Street Fighter Presentation
My Play Watch has packed the watch with original-inspired visuals and audio, including:
- Character sprites
- Arcade-inspired animations
- Classic music
- Authentic voice samples
- Iconic sound effects
Yes, you'll hear a familiar "Hadoken!" when powering up the device.
More Than Just a Game
Unlike traditional smartwatches, the Street Fighter II: My Play Watch requires no smartphone pairing, apps or notifications.
Instead, it focuses on delivering gaming-themed functionality, including:
Character Watch Faces
Choose your favourite World Warrior during setup and customise the watch experience around them, complete with themed backgrounds and versus artwork.
Fitness Tracking
Meet daily step goals and your chosen fighter appears to celebrate with their classic victory pose.
Alarms and Timers
Set reminders and receive full-screen alerts featuring animated character reactions drawn directly from the series.
Arcade Audio Integration
Classic Street Fighter II sounds and voice clips are integrated throughout the operating system, helping bring the legendary arcade experience to life.
Premium Collector's Package
The watch ships with:
- Two interchangeable watch straps
- Magnetic charging cable
- Limited-edition Street Fighter display stand for early pre-orders (while stocks last)
According to My Play Watch co-founder Jeff Hardy, the aim was to create a wearable worthy of Street Fighter II's legendary status:
"Street Fighter II defined a generation of fighting games and remains one of the most beloved titles in gaming history. We wanted to create something special that combines collectability, nostalgia and functionality while faithfully recreating the spirit of the arcade original."
Release Date and Price
The Street Fighter II: My Play Watch is expected to launch in December 2026 with an MSRP of $79.99.
Pre-orders are available now via the official My Play Watch website.
Games Freezer Verdict
Let's be honest: we've seen gaming watches before, but a gold-plated wearable featuring a playable version of Street Fighter II and authentic arcade sounds is one of the year's more unexpected gaming collectables. For fans who spent their youth firing Hadokens in arcades, this could be a surprisingly tempting slice of nostalgia.
