Capcom V.P. Christian Svensson visited the Unity boards again, this time discussing a possible version of Super Street Fighter 2 HD Remix for the Wii.Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD HD could really be on Nintendo by Wiiware or Wii DVD. I don't see why not no trouble.
Sven: It couldn't ever be Wiiware, even at 480p. File size is just too large given the storage restrictions for Wiiware.
Theoretically it could be disc based but there are no plans at the moment. We'll see how it does on its current platforms and then maybe we'll see.
Part of the reason HD Remix and Bionic Commando Rearmed are digital is because we don't believe they're the right content for the retail channel (at least, not as stand alone experiences).
The economics would be highly unfavorable as compared to their digital counterparts. And Wiiware, we're finding, only works for titles built from the ground up for Wiiware as the lead SKU given the filesize restrictions.
Street Fighter 4 seems possible on Wii as well.
Sven: In theory, with reasonable downgrades in visual quality including resolution reduction, yes.
I will still raise the question: what's the input mechanism for a Wiimote + nunchuck (which is what 100% of the installed base has) on a Street Fighter title?
He also noted that they would have to redo everything for the Wii, which isn't an inexpensive process.
