No, seriously: Street Fighter IV for iPhone photo

This is a real thing that's coming this March. It's too early for April Fool's jokes.

We're talking virtual d-pad and buttons and all, with art and assets taken from the console games, shrunk down to fit Apple's little touchscreen. The complete move set is there, including Ultra moves and their crazy animations. IGN says that Capcom has spent months working on the controls, with options for position, transparency and more. I hope they spent longer than they did on the Mega Man 2 port. I'm just saying.

There's Bluetooth mutlplayer support, too. A Dojo Mode will be included for training.

From the images we know that Ryu and Ken are in the roster, but the rest have yet to be revealed. Capcom says that both classic and new SFIV characters will be included when it's all said and done.

Jesus, how crazy is this? I can hear all the hmm, we'll sees now. We'll see in March, won't we?

Oh wow, I'm very interested to see how this comes out, though I cant imagine it would be very easy doing a shoryuken on a virtual d-pad...

Pretty cool way of showing off the processing strength of the iPhone, but playing it will be hell.

Gameloft's Soul Calibur rip-off "Blades of Fury" is actually pretty decent on the iPhone. This might not be that bad, but then again, it probably will be.

This is when you know developers will put out anything on the iPhone and not care what people have to say/think.

So let me see this clear capcom. You refused in the past to make a Wii version alleging technicnal restrictions, but now, we will see an Iphone version?

I have nothing against iphone, in fact that's a good news for the iphone users. But why you don't give the same treatment to the Wii? Seriously that was very hypocritical on your part capcom

Wait, so the Wii can't handle SFIV but the iPhone can? I knew the Wii didn't have any graphical power but that's just insulting.

iPhone version, but no Wii version? WTF? I don't know how on earth this makes sense. If anything, this completely ruins Capcom's argument against putting SF4 on the Wii. >_<

I can still play SFIV on my 360, im not killing myself, the PS3 and 360 only fanboys are killing themselves because of Tatsunoko vs Capcom...

Agreed with trsspidey.

@covah

Normally I'd agree, but Tatsunoko kinda blows the crap out of SF4, so it's all good on the Wii front.

CAPCOM WANTS YOUR MONEY CONFIRMED

Maybe that's what happens when you give a game developer too much love, they fuck you up the ass.

Then again, considering that Capcom will probably get little profit (if any) bringing Tatsunoko vs Capcom to the US and Europe, they're just compensating that fact with a no-brainer cash-in (they're also re-releasing a dumber verson of RE4 on Iphone as well).


Now, I only hope we'll be able to play SF4 or SSF4 in our Wiis, Dses, PSPs and classic Gameboys very soon..

..Sega CD and Jaguar as well.

Whether it actually is a decent port or not really isn't the issue. The real issue is that instead of the iPhone, they could have been working on a Wii or PSP down-port. Either of those platforms would be better suited for it.

I can't see this controlling well at all, but whatever, companies will make anything they think they can make money on. But just because you can do something doesn't really mean you should.

I thought a PSP version would get made before this. Lets just hope Capcom spent took their time on this one.

idk I think that they would have been better off porting SF3A 3rd strike, cause SF4 on iphone looks fugly

If there's gonna be an iPhone port, why not something more suited to gaming? PSP is a pretty obvious choice. And since Capcom clearly doesn't mind watering down the visuals to fit a new platform, wii doesn't look like a bad choice, honestly.

But I'm already sure that SF4 on iPhone can't be good.

As a multiconsole owner who's primarily a Wii fan, STFU and enjoy your AWESOME fighting exclusive, Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom.

Got nothing on the PSP port idea though.

But still. Tatsunoko > Street Fighter 4 in every possible way.

Viewtiful Joe/Casshern, bitch.

What's wrong with the Mega Man 2 port? It has almost perfect reviews, and controls great.

@ Caspulex

It's spidey bitch.SPIDEY.

Post your friend code if you wanna rumble in TvC. Jun the swan + Ryu all day every day.

While I'm not really complaining about exclusives (especially fighters since I have TvC) I'm more confused about capcoms decision to bring this game over to a platform that is simply NOT 100% dedicated to gaming. At least not as much as psp or wii or fuck even bring it to ps2.
