Moar Rumor: SFIV could still be coming to the Wii photo

A while back Dale North, Destructoid editor and kung fu action star, informed us all that the idea of Street Fighter IV finding its way onto the Wii was not such a far fetched one at all. His evidence was a quote from the game's producer and quotes are some of the best evidence around so here are a few more on the subject -- and remember, Capcom is set to release nine titles for the Wii by April 2010 and some of them are really big and haven't been revealed yet.

The first comes from Capcom V.P. Christian Svensson, who was asked if we would never see SFIV on the Wii. "Never is such a long time. Beyond that, I have nothing to add right now," he said in the Capcom community forums as dramatic music swelled behind him. This was then followed up by the second quote from Capcom Community Manager Seth Killian who commented, "While not every aspect of Street Fighter IV's presentation would likely be possible on the Wii, the core elements are obviously possible. As for "never happen!" -- I'd hope that if Tatsunoko vs. Capcom has taught us anything, it's that we should never say never when it comes to Capcom. Unless you want to talk about more Cadillacs and Dinosaurs. Never!"

Hold on. Change that headline. Who cares about SFIV on the Wii if we're never getting more Cadillacs and Dinosaurs? Who cares about life anymore? What's the point of going on without that faint glimmer of hope that one day Cadillacs and dinosaurs will again meet? Sleep well tight shirt wearing, muscle bound dinosaur fighters, for Capcom loves you not.

If they cell shade it I don't see what the big problem would be. Oh wait, the awful Gamecube fighting game controls (I played SNK 2 on the GCN at a friend's house, just laughed at it, and drove back home to bring my PS2), and friend codes.

Yea, don't port it.

@Magnalon: unless they do the TvC thing and go with the Brawl's type of control, still, i can imagine the outcry if they do that...

I'd like to see more fighters on Wii, the only problem is anyone who wants SF4 probably already has it on another console. Because of that, it probably wouldn't sell well on Wii and it would discourage developers from putting other fighters on Wii. I can't see anybody buying any fighter on Wii that they can get on PS3/360. What Wii needs is more exclusives like Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom.

Who gives a flying crap about anything "vs. Capcom" or "Street Fighter" related. I agree with more Cadillacs and Dinosaurs!

I went to Cadillacs and Dinosaur's Wikipedia page and found this about Mess O'Bradovich:

"The 'powerhouse' of the game, Mess equals to Mike Haggar from Final Fight series."

This is clearly a lie. No one equals to Mike Haggar.

Welcome to journalism/news. You will not be 100% interested in every story, and each and every story will not apply to you. If there's 1 person out there who only owns a Wii, and might be interested in SF4 for it, the story is a success.

Now that you know how "news" works, it would be awesome to see less douchiness in the future.

Calling someone else a douche...

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Yay irony.

And Cadillacs and dinosaurs is awesome, where else can you make a T-rex docile by uppercutting it.

*sniff* for side scrolling beat-em-ups in general. The world was so much better when you and a couple buddies could pound your way through wave after wave of roided up baddies.

I'd like to add Final Fight and Punisher to the list of all time greats we have yet to re-experience. Ah, the good ol' days.

First off, ever hear of a classic controller? Still not perfect, but I'd prefer it over 360 controls. Second, I remember hearing TvC could have online w/out friends codes. Mayhaps the same with SFIV...

Still, I'd rather buy it for PC.

I cannot see this ending well. Not because it won't be good, but because the bitching will be endless.

True, but I'm not a fan of buying an extra $20 controller in addition to a $60 controller just to play all your games. Also, for SF4, I'd prefer the 360 controller, and just use the analog. We'll see about the online play if it ever does see the light of day. My guess is we'll still see friend codes. High Voltage tried like hell to not use them, but ended up "adhering to Nintendo's standards".

Overall, like you, I'd rather buy it for PC or PS3 for that matter.

Every console has hidden costs. Well, maybe not the PS3, but it's upfront costs are pretty damn high.... XboxLive, for example.

As long as you're not an achievement whore, you can keep making hotmail accounts, and keep getting free 1-month Live Gold trials.

I see your point though :D

EA got MoHH2 out with no friend codes what so ever.

"Sony charges you for putting money in your PSN wallet." - Yeah, but Nintendo makes you buy WiiPoints in 10 dollar bundles, which is kind of ridiculous IMO. Understood though. All consoles have hidden costs, haha.

Bro you just made my day, I am laughing beyond word. Even when Nintendo had to be attacked by companies like Intellevison, 3DO Panasonic, Sega Atari, Commodore, why the do not faulter is because the always allow their trust worthy developers always being welcome to their systems. Yes the Wii will have people in the small minute group speaking ill about it getting SFIV because like Toyota the get products that others can only dream about. Capcom Knows we are the majority world over as Nintendo owners, we shall even introduce it to our children who are second generation Nintendo players, because SF is Violent enough with responsible characters and play that cannot corrupt our Children. I love Nintendo.

some stupid fucking comments.
It would probably not be a great idea. Unless a few changes were made. Graphically. And I guess we could forget about online. eh...
