Topic: Street Fighter 4 should come to Wii.

Here is the quote.
Q.Right now we know Street Fighter 4 will come out to 3 home platforms, but have you thought about the Wii at all?
A:The more people that ask about it, the more likely we are to move in that direction. The very existence of SF4 was based on people asking about it for so long. If we get alot of requests it will be something we will think about. It might be hard to reproduce the graphics exactly as they are,but the gameplay should be intact. It's something we can think about.
Q: Heres a thought. You know how Capcom is reviving Megaman 9? Maybe you can use sprites like the old Street Fighter games and have a special Wii version.
A: Maybe we can do some kind of collaboration with HD remix or something. We'll have to think about that one.

dammit maxi at least insert a quote from the article so the lazy poster can add to the topic without reading an entire article!

*grumbles/reads article*

i'll comment when i'm done... see now i wasted this perfectly good post with nothing to add to the topic at hand!

edit for the lazy:

hmm something tells me online petitions still won't get this or any other street fighter game on Wii unless its a street fighter FPS starring Jean Claude Van Damme as Guile

I think the title is supposed to be "Street Fighter 4 SHOULD Come to the Wii"! In which case, yes, it should. Street Fighter 2 (in one of its various incarnations) is still a great example of the fighting genre!

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Street Fighter 4 could drop dead.

[BeautifulShy]

EasyCure we never know unless we try. I suggest we e-mail and go over to the Capcom forums and let them know that way. I also noticed that we got people that use photoshop around here we could find pictures of SF4 and add something like "for Wii" or we could draw about SF4 and send it to Capcom.
Morai I changed the title. Pro we will see who drops dead when I brawl later tonight.

[EasyCure]

even if they announced something for wii the "hardcore" nintendo fans would probably tear it apart and not buy it anyway.

[BeautifulShy]

Would YOU buy the game if it came out?

[EasyCure]

probably not, havent been into SF since SFII: Turbo... ok so thats the only SF i ever liked. Never got into the rest. They went from adding more characters to adding insane combos that i just didnt find fun.

If somehow they did something that really WOWed me, i'd think about it.

[Flames_of_chaos]

I personally got out of the street fighter series when 3rd strike came out, it made me discover the Guilty Gear series which is one of the best 2D fighting series ever.

[Mesu]

I would buy it. I have Capcom vs SNK 2 for the Gamecube and Super Street Fighter 2 on the Virtual console.

Capcom expects to sell 1.7 million copies of SF4.

If they do sell that much it will be because there is a ton of former SF2 fans still interested. I think a significant portion of old SF2 fans own a Wii.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

It'd better have guns like the new Chun Li movie.

[NWR_Lindy]

Would YOU buy the game if it came out?

Hell no, I'd buy it for 360 or PS3 so I could get the non-gimped version with proper online play.

Edit: Okay, I know that sounded bitter.

[Spak-Spang]

You know I would love if they took the moves and characters of Street Fighter 4 and did the HD 2D treatment of it if they thought they couldn't pull of the 3D graphics correctly...like they suggested with the HD remix thing. 

Actually, I think it would be pretty amazing if they did a 8 Bit style Street Fighter game, but with still 6 button controls...it would be funky and crazy and fun.

Or just take all the Sprites from like the Dreamcast Street Fighter, Darkstalkers, and every other Capcom fighter and merge them into one fantastic game...I would not care if the balance was off...I think it would be fun. 

[BeautifulShy]

A 8 bit Street Fighter would be interesting. I like your All-star Capcom fighter. It sounds so familiar.

Too late.

CFE only had like the three most boring characters from each series, I didn't want to pick any of them anymore before I had played a whole hour

Marvel, on the other hand. THAT'S SO PRINGLES BABY. WHERE YO CURLEH MUSTACHE AT.

On topic: I can't think of any reason to buy SF4 for Wii what with the gimped hardware and goofy controller

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Wii needs Final Fight 4.

[Mesu]

It's not Street Fighter 4 but it sounds like Wii will get Tatsunoko vs Capcom!

The arcade game apparently runs off a wii compatible system. If this sells well on Wii then Capcom will probably bring Street Fighter 4 over.

The game also only has 3 attack buttons so playing it with just the wiimote and nunchuck won't be a problem.

[NWR_pap64]

Too bad that the obscurity of the anime characters, along with licensing issues, will prevent it from reaching American and European shores .

[Stogi]

That game looks actually really badass. I like how the 2-D plane is skewed towards one side, giving it a more 3-D feel without the 3-D.

Except...  ya know, there's the Classic controller you could use.  o_O

[Stogi]

Sarcasm, my friend. Sarcasm.


I sound like John McCain. oh nos!

[BeautifulShy]

SFIV is doable on Wii

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Will it have guns like the new movie?  Wii does a good job of controlling guns.

[BeautifulShy]

Do you work at a movie theater or something?
I am only kidding
