Street Fighter IV comng to iPhone
No. Your eyes do not deceive you. Do not adjust your set.
Street Fighter IV is coming to iPhone and iPod this March.
Capcom’s told IGN its been working hard on the controls for it, giving them some “transparency.
There will also be some bluetooth support for the fighter’s multiplayer, but for any noobs, the Dojo mode is included for good measure.
As for the roster, only Ken and Ryu have been confirmed, but Capcom did say it will feature classic fighters from past games and fighters introduced in the console version of Street Fighter IV.
No exact release date has been confirmed. Get the first screens at the link.
We now return to our normal programming.

The type of game loads of people will buy but not actually play because it’ll be to awkward to control.

I can’t believe they’d try to port the game with the controls exactly as they are on the console/arcade versions. They’ll have to find some way to simplify the control system or change the way it plays in order to make it work.

If it’s anything like MegaMan 2 on the iphone, it’ll be impossible to play.

Why do they even bother. The iphone hasnt even enough battery life to do its core feature – make calls!

The Wii got Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, i’d hardly say its being ignored by Capcom if thats what you meant.
Funnily enought based off that screenshot up there the Iphone version of SF4 has better gfx then TvC.

whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaattt
i didn’t expect to see that this morning, lots of people will probably buy it
although you know the user star rating will be really low as it will be at a premium price and the controls will be horrible, much link mega man 2 and ghost and goblins, capcom haven’t had a good run on the ipod
and you heard it here first, they will charge extra for additional costumes

Have you guys tried the patched version of Megaman 2 with the d-pad replacing the joystick? Coupled with the slower gameplay mode and floaty jumps it’s actually quite playable. It’s not as good as the real thing, but even Heatman’s disappearing platforms can be done with the new controls.
