Street Fighter IV: Capcom talks Wii version

chautemoc | August 31, 2008 | Interview | Wii Games Convention 2008

Expanding a little on previous news, Capcom's Yoshinori Ono, one of the producers behind Street Fighter IV, talked a little recently about the possibility of the game coming to the Wii. What do you think? Would it sell?

“We’ve had a lot of requests for Street Fighter IV on Wii,” he says. “Since it’s a 2D fighting game, it’s doable, but whether we’d try we don’t know. We’d have to see. If we can sell it, we might consider it. And it would be a straight-forward Street Fighter IV—it wouldn’t be a kid’s version.”

Meh, we know Capcom has the ability to port games to Wii successfully, but I don't see the controls faring well for this game. I'd be willing to give it a shot, though.

  The controls would be just fine. I'm just wondering how much of a hit the visuals would take.

_{Seriously who didn't see this coming? I mean I did, I knew it was bound to happen at one point. I mean Street Fighter did in fact start on the Nintendo systems back in the day, not adding it would be an insult.}

The question is how much work would downgrading the graphics be.

That's good to hear, the Wii version won't be some watered-down kidz version. This is why I respect Capcom.

I agree with Gogetenks. I'm not worried about controls but since the next gen version has such amazing graphics, I'm curious as to what it would look like on the wii.
