Everyone loved playing Street Fighter IV on the super-accurate, precision instrument that is the Xbox 360 d-pad, right? Well, imagine playing the same thing on the virtual d-pad on the iPhone, surely a pleasant experience, right?
Cynicism aside, Capcom is in fact porting the title to the iPhone, joining Resident Evil 4 as their previous console-to-iPhone port. Visuals seem taken right from the console game, of course at a lower resolution, but still impressive. Capcom promises a “large roster,” which likely means a few cuts. Only Ken and Ryu are confirmed at this time.
Bluetooth support will be included for versus play, so two players at once can experience the frustration of using a touch screen to play Street Fighter. Okay, maybe the cynicism wasn’t pushed aside. Sorry.
