While most of the Street Fighter news these days centers on the April 27 launch of Super Street Fighter IV for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Capcom is preparing one last hurrah for the original Street Fighter IV. The publisher has announced that starting next month, a version of GameSpot's Best Fighting Game of 2009 will be available for Apple's iPhone and iPod Touch systems.
A hurricane kick is one thing, but can you focus-attack-dash-cancel on the iPhone? Capcom claims the game is an "uncompromised" version of Street Fighter IV, with "a roster pulled from recent console releases, including several classic and newly introduced fighters." The publisher did not say how many fighters would be included, and the handful of screens released for the mobile version only depicts series staples Ken, Ryu, and Guile.
Street Fighter IV for iPhone and iPod Touch will include a simplified control scheme with a virtual joystick and four attack buttons displayed on the screen. Despite the simplification, Capcom has said the game will still feature the expected assortment of fireballs and dragon punches, as well as cinematic supercombos akin to those of its console cousin.
Players will be able to customize the layout of controls, repositioning them on the screen and adjusting their transparency as needed. Beyond the standard single-player action, players will be able to enter a dojo training mode or take on friends via the system's Bluetooth support.
