Street Fighter IV... On The iPhone?!

What would have been a "No Way" moment turned upside down rather quickly with this announcement.


As reported in IGN and Kotaku, it seems Capcom is bringing the lovely and decorated brawler known as Street Fighter IV to Apple's mobile accessory device, the iPhone, this coming March. Now how and why they decided to bring the latest sequel of the brawler that started it all to the iPhone I do not know. But like all fighters and gamers out there who just got wind of this news, the questions that come to mind is "why?", and "how will it play?". Hopefully we'll be getting more detailed answers soon. In the meantime, only stalwart Ansatsuken fighters Ryu and Ken are confirmed for the port, along with a few other oldies and newbies from the 2.5D fighting game. You can read more about the news from Kotaku's link here. I just hope with this game coming up, there's a PSP version waiting to be made and announced for the real portable fighting game experience.

  1. Given that graphically demanding fighters such as Tekken, Soul Calibur, and eventually Blazblue are on PSP, I can't see why they wouldn't want to at least try to scale this down for PSP.

    In the meantime, I have Alpha 3 Max for my portable SF fix.

  2. Ditto for me here. Still, I'd like to see Capcom port this baby to the PSP... heck, even update it to SUPER for that matter!
