Street Fighter IV coming to iPhone and iPod touch

Posted on 18 Feb 2010 at 11:16

Street Fighter IV, the latest installment in the long-running and popular beat 'em up series, is coming to the iPhone and iPod touch.

Versions of the popular Street Fighter games have been released for mobile phones and portable consoles before, but the upcoming iPhone version of Street Fighter IV is the first to make it to Apple's handhelds.

The large roster of familiar Street Fighter characters and their special moves will be controlled using an on-screen virtual D-pad and buttons. The multiplayer mode will work over Bluetooth, but there's no word if multiplayer will also work over a local WiFi network or the internet.

We're big fans of the Street Fighter series at Expert Reviews, so we can't wait to see how the iPhone version compares, especially the on-screen controls. Capcom, the game's developers, hope to have the game on-sale by March, subject to Apple's approval.

There's been no confirmation on pricing, but other big name iPhone games such as Call of Duty: World at War Zombies and Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars cost £5.99. Screenshots of Street Fighter IV for the iPhone can be seen at IGN.
