Capcom: 3DS is the perfect fit for Street Fighter IV photo

While Capcom surprised the world by bringing Street Fighter IV to the iPhone, it never made its way to other gaming devices. You know, those with buttons and stuff. Why? Because series Yoshinori Ono says Sony's and Nintendo's handhelds couldn't have run the game "at the level [Capcom] wanted."

On the other hand, Nintendo's 3DS is a whole new beast. Particularly, Ono says that the system's wireless capabilities was key to the decision to bring the fighter to the handheld, noting that communication with others will be an important part of the 3DS version of the game. As for the gameplay, he says it won't be altered for a younger audience, and that "the gameplay will be the same as Super Street Fighter IV."

It's already looking great, too; Super Street Fighter IV for the 3DS is scheduled to ship next year.

While I'm glad the 3DS is getting a version, they can't claim that the iPhone was more of a perfect fit than the PSP for SF4, surely?

I am already horrible at fighting games in general but I have no idea how a person could be a decent player when you have to use the DS as a controller. Seems like it would be more of an annoyance than anything. But that is all speculation seeing as I have never purchased or played a fighting game on any handheld. Has anyone here actually played a fighting game on a handheld and had no problems with controls?

@BigRedPirate

Alpha 3 on the PSP is brilliant. Not sure why the DS would be a problem, as long as it's not doing touch screen idiocy, the controls are probably better than the stock 360 pad for fighting games.

So the Iphone can, but the PSP can't?

I call lies, damn lies and bullshit.

Seriously, the Iphone can't run it "the way they would like" but it's such a huge market with such potential profit they just couldn't say no.

I suck at 2D fighting games so I will be ignoring this title I' afraid, I rented it for my Ps3, I tried it, and i failed. Over and over and over.

It really depends on the fighting game. Games that require simultaneous button presses can be difficult. SF4 uses moves that use 2 to 3 buttons at a time, so unless the 3ds has more than 6 buttons or it incorporates the touch screen creatively, it would be difficult to see it work as well as console versions. On the other hand, games like soul calibur and tekken work out fine due to using 4 buttons. IMO, tatsunoko vs capcom would probably work well, too.

Thinking about portable fighters has reminded me I should really try out the PSP BlazBlue at some point.

So I just now went to joystiq and the article le there says they'll probably implement touch screen or slider controls for special moves. I just hope this development doesn't cut into updates for the console versions.

So the iPhone's more powerful than the PSP? If that's the case, Sony had better hurry up with PSP 2 then. Preferably with 3g & a second stick. Oh and 3D, because everything needs 3D.

The iPhone could run it because anything on the iPhone sells like there's no tomorrow. Capcom heard that the 3DS was gaining popularity and are jumping on the bandwagon.

Not that I don't welcome it, I will pick it up for sure.

By the way... did you guys see the new SFIV 3DS pictures? The style is now similar to the HD versions.

actually to me what makes the 3DS perfect is the pseudo 3d nature of the game making it kind of dioramic. In 3d that would be emphasized in awesome ways.

I can't wait for this thing to come out.

As an aside, the PSP's d-pad is shit-poor for fighting games. So, I can kind of see why they didn't port it over. Though, a fake joy stick on the iPhone version doesn't seem like a more suitable option.

Also, another theory is no one wants to develop games on a system that has such rampant piracy.

@ Pyrex is Metal: You've obviously never played a Neo Geo Pocket Color or one of its amazing fighting games.

And maybe make Download Play more common?
I don't need two copies of SFIV to play with my friend on my Xbox.

So wait. It goes on the fucking iPhone and the DS before they even think about it on the wii?

I don't see why nobody has copied Neo Geo pocket's control stick. It was absolutely PERFECT!

I was under the impression that the 3DS is not much more powerful than the PSP.
Actually I read that the 3DS was about as powerful as the Wii which is apparently not much more powerful than the PS2 which is slightly more powerful than the PSP. In any case, how could the PSP not handle this game aside from a horrible d-pad and iffy shoulder buttons?
