EB Games Canada mistakenly said Street Fighter V Champion Edition was coming to Nintendo Switch

Via Twitter, EB Games Canada announced earlier this evening that Street Fighter V Champion Edition was coming to Nintendo Switch. The message, in French and English, also told fans they could pre-order the game in-store starting today. That same claim had not been seen on the FB page of EB Games Canada nor at any other social media account related to Capcom and Street Fighter. It turned out to be an error by EB Games Canada.

The now-deleted tweet, as seen below, made many fans happy for some time.

However, hours later, EB Games Canada removed the tweet and posted the following two messages to apologize and that the original tweet was to refer to the PS4 version of the game.

We posted a tweet advertising Street Fighter V: Champion Edition for the Nintendo Switch earlier this evening. Please note that the details in this tweet were inaccurate, and were posted in error. The intention for the tweet was to highlight the PlayStation 4 version of the game.

Yoshinori Ono, the game’s producer, also noticed the error by EB Games Canada and shared his thoughts on Twitter. “Such item does not exist right now,” he tweeted.

Whaat!?
No way, where can I get this product?
… Could it be that we didn’t realize that someone are making it?
;D

Such item does not exist right now.
Thanks! https://t.co/0hYBet71aR
