CAPCOM® ANNOUNCES STREET FIGHTER® IV FOR THE IPHONE AND IPOD TOUCH

Legendary Fighting Franchise Set To Make Its App Store Debut This March

LOS ANGELES, CA – February 16, 2010 –Capcom®, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced that Street Fighter® IV, the definitive next generation fighting franchise, is making its way to iPhone and iPod Touch this March. The game will feature a roster pulled from recent console releases including several classic and newly introduced fighters.

“This is Street Fighter 4 in all its glory… uncompromised and awesome,” said Takeshi Tezuka, General Manager of Mobile Content Development, Capcom. “We’re particularly proud of the multiplayer feature as it remains true to the series arcade roots by allowing players to go head-to-head over Bluetooth in spectacular fashion.”

Street Fighter 4 for iPhone uses an advanced virtual d-pad or “Visual Pad” control interface to immerse the player into the familiar Street Fighter combat system. Players can fully customize the “Visual Pad” interface by repositioning the buttons and d-pad anywhere on the screen through the options menu. Additionally, players can further refine their configuration by setting the transparency level of the controls.

For newcomers to the series, a new “Dojo” mode unleashes the warrior within turning neophytes into Street Fighter masters. Once players hone there skills in single player mode they can then go head-to-head against their friends via Bluetooth for bragging rights and the coveted title of “Champion.”

Street Fighter 4 will be available this March on Apple’s App Store. For more information, visit the Capcom official press site at www.press.capcom.com

‘Street Fighter IV’ Ha-do-ken’ing its way to the App Store VERY SOON !!

Philip Federico

February 16, 2010

This is a certainly ZOMG moment !! For all you die hard Capcom fans addicted to the most popular fighting game ever created !! The Street Fighter series, and most recently Street Fighter IV we have some fantastic news.

Capcom has just announced that Street Fighter IV will be making its way to the iPhone and iTouch iPod VERY SOON !! I hope you were all sitting down whilst reading this as I’m finding it hard to believe that this is even possible. BUT Ladies and Gentlemen it is !!

You’d be surprised what you can do on that little thing called a iPhone these days 😉

Street Fighter IV is set to arrive to the App Store sometime next month. (MARCH 2010) Now the important facts and questions you’re all going to be asking and I know exactly what most of you are probably saying right about now : “AHHH This is a just some sort of dodgy port that’s got crappy graphics and annoying controls”

Well let me stop you right here. Capcom have taken the conversion of Steet Fighter IV very seriously, with months of extensive testing, perfecting the virtual control system to make it as easy and as presice as possible, this is certainly one of the most important aspects of Street Fighter, you need to ensure that you can pull off those super ultra combos with ease and Capcom believe that they have nailed it in this department.

Capcom have also tweaked Street Fighter IV to use every inch of the iPhones capabilities and resources, the visuals and character models are the same as the Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC versions but slightly scaled down, with little loss of detail or color which is great achievement. All the Characters will have their complete move list along with Ultra Combo which will also be animated when pulled off successfully !!

At this moment in time the amount of playable characters are unknown to us but if your a fan of Ryu and Ken rest assured Street Fighter will not be Street Fighter without these two legendary fighters at the helm so they’ll certainly be present. One thing we can confirm is that Capcom have advised there will be a fine mix of both original classic Street Fighters as well as the new characters from Street Fighrer IV.

Finally at the moment there is no tak of actual online gameplay but Street Fighter will support bluetooth battles and tournaments with mates. Which is better than a Ha-Do-Ken in the head 😉

Let us know what you think of this Amazing news. Do you think Capcom can actually pull it off ? From the screenshots that IGN have posted on their website I believe its possible. Your thoughts 🙂

ALAN WAKE NEWS … NO PC Version … But we have some new screenshots !!

Xbox 360

Philip Federico

February 15, 2010

We have some good news and also some bad news. Ok the bad news first. As Microsoft have announced Alan Wakewill be a Xbox 360 exclusive, therefore there will not be a PC version of the game. (dont know if its actually bad news) as long as it’s coming out on XBOX 360 that’s all that matters.

Now the good news, we have some new screenshots from the game. I have to say I think the 5 year wait has been well worth it. Alan Wake looks brilliant. Remedy have done a fantastic job with it.

With a release date of May 18th 2010 it’s not long before we battle the darkness with only the light, our witts and a soiled pair of undies, this game is gonna scare the crap outta you 😉

Let us know what you think of Alan Wake, are you gonna get it ? Do you think it’s going to live up to it’s expectations or will it just disappear in the darkness as the batteries in the torch light run out.
