Capcom announced on Monday that the game would be getting a TMNT crossover, which would include new costumes, accessories, emotes, stamps and more.

At the time of the announcement Capcom neglected to including pricing information, but now that the new content is available in the game its various costs are clear.

Players can buy four full Turtle costumes for their in-game avatar, with each costing 750 Fighter Coins, which are the game’s premium currency. If they just want the coloured Turtle masks for their avatar, those cost 250 Fighter Coins each.

The game also includes sticker sets (priced at 100 Fighter Coins), taunts (250), in-game camera frames (100) and in-game device wallpapers (100), at a total cost of 1300.

In all, then, the total cost of all the TMNT content is 5300 Fighter Coins. While these can be earned, they’re mostly bought with real money.

Fighter Coins are sold in bundles of 250, 610, 1250 and 2750. Assuming a player has no Fighter Coins, then, the cheapest way to buy all the TMNT content would be to buy two bundles of 2750 Fighter Coins.

This has a total cost of $99.98 / £79.96, significantly more than the full game’s price of $59.99 / £54.98.

A player wishing to buy a single Turtle costume at 750 Fighter Coins would have to buy a bundle of 1250, costing $23.99 / £18.98. It costs $100 to unlock all of Street Fighter 6’s TMNT content

It should be noted that these costumes aren’t new playable fighters – instead, they’re skins for the player’s avatar, who’s mainly used in the game’s World Tour mode.

In comparison, when the TMNT were added to Warner Bros‘ DC fighting game Injustice 2, the fighter pack cost $19.99 / £15.99 and contained all four Turtles as separate, fully-fledged fighters, as well as two extra fighters, Atom and Enchantress.

The Street Fighter 6 collaboration is designed to tie in with the release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, the latest TMNT feature film, which is currently in cinemas.

No one individually buys the base game and every DLC individually after for a fighting game

You know this isn't true, but hey. Keep that up, defend that company, I'm sure they'll give you something for being a loyal fan.... or not, because they don't give a shit about you, they care more about the people who are paying the 170 dollars, But you're simping for them so they really are happy with that... not going to do anything for you, but they love that you'll defend their shitty practices.

Every copy of SF4 and MvC3 is useless because they’re not the Ultimate versions.

Being able to go back and play the base MvC3 game is great, Being able to see the evolution of both games even now is something I appreciate. Instead now when I get SF5, the original game is gone, and all you get is the hyper over produced game. Remember when they wanted ads in the game? If you bought the game before that, and didn't want that... oh you're fucked because the game changed and you don't get a choice. I'm glad they removed it, but you seem to not give a shit about any type of preservation.

NO ONE is missing out on any content from not buying a TNMT skin.

So wait I can dress up as Donatello? Oh wait I can't because I haven't paid 14 bucks for the right. So I am missing out on content. You might not cosmetics are content, but I'll tell you about this time long ago when you got costumes, outfits, and the rest all in the 60 dollar title with out more money being teased out of you the whole time. It was a long time ago, but it was a better time.

It has no impact on the gameplay or even cosmetically in the actual game.

You're not serious about cosmetically? It's impossible to discuss this with someone who is that lost. And if it really has so little value, then why would anyone pay for it... oh they pay for it because they want it, so there is some impact on the player or cosmetically.... So pretending like there's no reason for someone to pick it up makes no sense. But do go on.

And no one would insanely buy all 4.

LOL....
