iPhone's Street Fighter IV playable characters and price revealed
Series stalwarts to face off in touchscreen beat-'em-up
Street Fighter IV is likely to be one of the App Store highlights of 2010, and Capcom revealed that would be landing its iPhone punch some time in March.
GamePro has seen the latest handheld iteration of the long-running tournament fighter series in action, which will apparently feature eight playable characters from the outset.
Series stalwarts Ryu, Ken, Guile, Blanka, Chun-Li, Dhalsim, M. Bison, and newcomer Abel will have their gloves on when the game launches at the full price of £5.99/$9.99.
A gameplay video of Ken and Ryu fighting shown some pretty spectacular visuals, easily comparable to the console version
in terms of speed and flashiness. The controls appear to work pretty well, too.
It's hard to imagine a Street Fighter game without Ryu's arch-nemesis Sagat, or the fast hands of E. Honda for that matter, so I'm still expecting new characters to become available through updates or optional downloads. We shall see.
Get ready for round one.
