IGN get some direct hands on time with the game today at the AOU Amusement Expo.

Not sure why this was posted in multiple sections, he played the arcade version only, especially the WII section?

Anyway, sounds promising enough, as a die hard SF fan i really hope they aim this at people like me rather than dumb it down for mass market appeal!

Skerj5920d ago

THANK you man, I'm hoping the same thing. I'm still baffled by the idea to make SF4 in the SFII era while simultaneously remaking super turbo in HD, it's kind of redundant but whatever I'll get over it in time.

I think I'm getting used to the visuals now, even though they still seem too bulky.

What systems is this game coming out for?

xionpunk5920d ago

...MORRRTAAAL KOOMBAAAT!! oh wait, not yet (sigh)

godoftime5920d ago

im getting excited about this one, want to play it on the arcade to see if it plays as good as its looking out to be. game mechanics remind me of killer instinct......

How Street Fighter IV Saved 2D Fighting Games (Ft. Maximilian Dood)

After Street Fighter II released in in 1991, it caused a fighting game explosion, both in arcades and in home consoles. But, as the decade ended, and arcades were failing, so too were 2D Fighting games. This is how Street Fighter IV completely revitalized the genre.

I'd say Blazblue helped too. Didn't care for Street Fighter 4, but Blazblue was amazing during that time. Sad that the series kind of went downhill after the first 2 or 3 games though.

DarXyde317d ago

BlazBlue was phenomenal. Platinum'd Calamity Trigger because I loved it so much. I remember buying Continuum Shift back in the day at launch for like $40. They did have DLC characters (Valkenhayne, Makoto, and Platinum at the time) and it came out to just a tad more than it would at full price. Didn't mind at all.

Great fighting game.

Snookies12317d ago

Continuum Shift was definitely my favorite. Spent way too many hours on that game, haha... Had the counters for days with Hakumen.

DarXyde317d ago

I really like Makoto, Valkenhayne, and Hazama. Super fun characters

Terry_B316d ago

Valkenhayn ..just sayin'

Terry_B317d ago

BlazBlue was the much better, more technical game..and a real 2D Fighting Game after all. But yes, since it was a big name..the characters were still popular and the game itself was good, SFIV indeed helped a lot. However, I am pretty sure the much better-selling Mortal Kombat 9 would have been done without SFIV as well..and that one truly helped to make the fighting game genre in general more popular again.

Ryuha1234h317d ago

You’re sound dumb. Blazblue was not better than sf4. You’re just saying that because you’re a street fighter hater.

A SF Hater eh? Fight me in SF 2,3 4 or 5 and you will regret that stupid comment ;)

one of the very few streamers i can actually watch without it being cringe and awful ha.

The content of IV was severely lacking when it launched. It got better over time.

they botched SFV so bad, just start over, make a new version with proper single player mode and fully fleshed out with support for all of the consoles this time.

King91648d ago (Edited 1648d ago )

Gamer7804@ they already did kinda it call sf5ae it help sf5 sell like another 2 million copies.

Teflon021648d ago

SFV is actually great now. Bunch of modes, bunch of characters, alot of stages, not sure what else there is to even complain about. Costume MTX? Not a issue imo, I don't get what I don't want anyways

gamer78041648d ago

botched launch, and they launched only on one console and currently after a long time still on one console.

Enigma_20991648d ago

Did you see how Ultra and the Collection sold? We don't need to convince Nintendo of anything. Just put it on the console.PHYSICALLY.

King91648d ago

Enigma_2099@ they probably have to make a new sf game just for the switch they probably will need Nintendo to help fund it just like sony help fund sf5.

PhoenixUp1648d ago

You’re not seeing Street Fighter V come to other platforms besides PC because Sony helped co-fund the game so it’s staying only on PS4 & PC

NapalmSanctuary1648d ago (Edited 1648d ago )

Don't know why anybody would want SF5 on Switch. Especially if they owned a Switch.

rainslacker1648d ago

That doesn't makes sense. Is Nintendo saying that Capcom can't publish the game on the system because it's users don't want the game? if so, that's really stupid of them, because why should they care?

Nintendo isn't saying such things of course.

Capcom shouldn't pass the buck. If they don't want to make more SF games on the Switch, then just say so, and say why.

If they want Nintendo to fund the project, then they are the ones that need to convince Nintendo to give them money.
