GDC 10: Street Fighter IV hits App Store now photo

At a special GDC edition of "Street Fighter Fight Club," Capcom announced that the iPhone version of Street Fighter IV should be available on the App Store... now. Or soon. 

I know this because I watched as Capcom clicked a mouse to set the app live, telling a crowd that the game would be available within a few hours. Sure enough, it's available now. The game, which will cost $9.99, will feature eight characters: Abel, Blanka, Chun Li, Ryu, M. Bison, Dhalsim, Guile, and Ken.

The game sports some pretty stunning graphics for an iPhone game -- viewing it on the small screen, the game was detailed and colorful, with little notable distinction between the full console game. Controls on the "phantom analog" were a bit iffy (pulling off a fireball motion was possible, but hit or miss), but the game features an "auto special" option, as well -- yes, that means one button plus a direction to launch special attacks.

We'll have our full review of the game up soon enough, so if you're not feeling dropping ten bones just yet, sit tight.

You are wrong bakewell. See not the DROIDRAGE, RAWWRRR!
Cant they just forget about that old android devices? I want proper games for my Droid too. Guess the Nexus One crowd feels deserted too.
Should have tought about Androids plattform fragmentation before buying :/. Android is getting the same problems as PC gaming.

For Street Fighter 4. Pretty high price. Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix costs almost the same.

I own an Ipod Touch and the fact that this skipped the PSP and Wii just feels wrong.

Ł5.99 ? :(
I will wait for a review.
I'm not dropping that much on an iPhone game that might be stunted due to the controls.

$10 is a bit steep for an App. Still cheaper than a PSP or DS game I guess. I'll wait for Dale to review it.

It's pretty cool they did this though. I can't stop loving my iPhone. Fuck the haters.

Didn't think about this at the time, but didn't Capcom say that a Wii port was something they wouldn't do because it would require a downgrade of the game they didn't want to happen?

So this is a pretty big slap to the face of Wii owners. :\
