Huh... Street Fighter IV for iPhone is coming...

[RyaNtheSlayA]

I just don't know what to think of this... Will the controls be horrible or will it be awesome?

I think the controls will work well, from my little experience with iPhone games. However, I see a person's thumbs getting in the way of the screen, but I wouldn't know until I try it. If only I had an iPhone.

It will be interesting to see how you will be able to see whats going on when your thumbs will be all over the characters. I cant believe the iPhone scores it before this gen's handhelds.

This will suck badly. There is no way a fighter will work on a touch pad. I need the feedback of a controller for a fighter and my iPhone just doesn't have that. It would be cool if Capcom released a controller attachment for the game though. Thats something the iPhone should have come out with years ago. I love SF IV so I hope it doesn't suck, but with so many better ways to play Street Fighter on the go these days I'll probably skip it. I already have multiple mobile devices that run all kinds of versions of Street Fighter.

A controller attachment? The iPhone is really ALL about portability. That's the only thing it strives for and the only thing it really does particularly well. A controller attachement is one more thing you would have to carry around in your pocket, and who wants to do that. I doubt this game is a hardcore video game. All the games on the iPhone are just games you play when you have extra time and don't have a game system with you.

I was afraid Capcom would betray its roots and not whore out its most popular games. I'm anxious to see how the PSP, DS, and Wii ports turn out to be. Are there any other obscure gaming systems this generation? I would love to see some Street Fighter 2-like whoring out for SF4. I mean it. And I would love a PS2 port, I would actually get to play the game.

The way technology is these days you could easily make a controller for it while keeping it portability. Look at the Droid, among other smartphones with a slide out keyboard. None of these devices lose portability due to this feature. I have a iPhone and some potentially great games really suffer due to shitty controls.

I am a street fighter nut and I see this and can't help but be pissed off. Why would they do this on Iphone and not the psp the graphics capabilitys of the two are close. The psp has a dpad and freaking buttons. I dunno 4 button street fighter just won't be right I don't think.
