An iPhone and iPod Touch version of beloved fighting game Street Fighter 4 will be available in March. The game uses a "virtual d-pad" for control, and features a single player mode, and Bluetooth support that will allow players to Hadouken other iPhone users wirelessly.
Right now, only Ken and Ryu are confirmed as playable, but expect the roster to expand to include other favorite fighters.
"This is Street Fighter 4 in all its glory… compromised and awesome," Takeshi Tezuka, General Manager of Mobile Content Development at Capcom said in a statement. “We’re particularly proud of the multiplayer feature as it remains true to the series arcade roots by allowing players to go head-to-head over Bluetooth in spectacular fashion.”
As you might expect, the real test of the game will be the controls: Street Fighter requires perfect controls, and the iPhone's onscreen system will no doubt take some getting used to. We'll be first in line to find out how it works in March, when it comes out.
