3DS Super Street Fighter 4 launch title in Japan, impressions

Posted — January 8, 2011 at 9:01 a.m. PST

Nintendo's 3DS will launch with a treat for fighting game fans, at least in Japan. It was revealed today that Super Street Fighter 4 will be a launch title you can purchase on February 26, for 4,800 yen, which is about $58 USD.

This isn't the average price for a 3DS title, but for some reason SSF4 is an exception.

Nintendo's 3DS will hit north America in March of 2011, and it's possible SSF4 will also be a launch title over here as well, but there's no official word on this yet.

Also, AndriaSang.com has some early impressions of the game, which are pretty interesting to read, specifically the 3D stuff.

If you haven't been keeping up, here's an older trailer for the title, demoing some of the new features.

"Definitive Super Street Fighter 4 experience"

Sure, whatever.

Anyway, I'm mostly curious about the Dynamic View, wonder how that will affect gameplay.

Wow, the style of the people in the commercial reminds me very much of Rub Rabbits...

"The Nintendo World build had arcade and story modes available for play. Story mode shows fully voiced animation on the top screen prior to fights."

...?

There's no way I'm paying 60 bucks for a 3DS game, piracy, here I come

Aqua said on January 8, 2011 at 9:41 a.m.

if you make eye contact with a chick in the metro and you want to fight her in SF4.. that's just wrong :D

WiNGSPANTT said on January 8, 2011 at 9:47 a.m.

I still want to know how the 4-panel quick move thing works with charge moves. Can you perform charge moves without charging using this system?

MrPavy said on January 8, 2011 at 9:53 a.m.

who the hell would take this serious?

FroggyMan77 said on January 8, 2011 at 10:11 a.m.

Why would I pay 60 bucks for Street Fighter 3DS when Continuum Shift II is coming for the system only a little bit later after launch? For probably a cheaper price, too.

Yes, it's on 3DS AND PSP, people.

FroggyMan77 said on January 8, 2011 at 10:11 a.m.

Now if a VS game made it on here, then we'd be talking, Capcom.

I don't get it why are you putting off this game but watching the trailer and coming on here just to voice your worthless opinion on not buying the game? Stop trolling.

#11

FroggyMan77 said on January 8, 2011 at 10:17 a.m.

My opinion that this game is incredibly overpriced while having very little payoff for the gameplay is "worthless?" I think you just mad, Shonuff.

I might have considered getting this just to have a portable fighter on the 3DS if it was cheaper. But then, two things happened. 1)I saw that this game was way too pricey for gameplay that I don't even really like. 2) CSII was announced for the same console.

So no SF3DS for me. If you don't like that opinion, then that's your problem.

*sigh*

Japan prices are all over the place, while US Prices follow a $30-$40 price range on DS games.

How many times must this be said here on Eventhubs? Who the EFF will buy SSFIV for $50-$60 for 3DS? NO ONE!

#13

spotlesseden said on January 8, 2011 at 10:26 a.m.

stop trying to convert the dollar amount. if you do that of course the prices are all over the place.

Japanese game price doesn't change that much.
The US dollar is weak. it would be $40 for the games that were release in Japan few years ago for 4,800 yen.
$1-130yen before, now $1 = 84yen

either way its going to sell. i think the last portable sf game was alpha 3.

jammasta said on January 8, 2011 at 10:45 a.m.

Enjoy these new features that you'll never be able to use because nobody around you will have the game!

Oh well. I actually like the idea of a new portable Street Fighter. Playing only Arcade Mode wouldn't be a total loss.

if you expect the ameican and japanese prices to be the same, you're an idiot, that is all.

#20

x_Who_Is_Alpha said on January 8, 2011 at 10:53 a.m.

Too pricey? You do realize that they are putting a game that has as much content as a xbox and PS3 game on a handheld system.

Either way its going to sell well so haters hate all you want, but it's not going to stop a good game from selling.

StuntmanJames said on January 8, 2011 at 10:58 a.m.

lol @ the soccer mom playin SSF4 3DS on the train....

#22

FroggyMan77 said on January 8, 2011 at 11 a.m.

Oh, I have no doubts that it will sell. It's got a huge brand name behind it, after all.

Plenty of mediocre games sell well because of this.

#23

NowUhavetoJoinMyDojo said on January 8, 2011 at 11:08 a.m.

Oh, it will be so weird using my TE on the train, trying to hold the 3DS at the same time. I wonder if I need to get a new stick or if the PS3 one's compatible. :D

Seriously though, can't wait for the 3DS, can't wait to play Streetfighter in 3D!
Soon is not soon enough!

@x_Who_Is_Alpha IF UR SAYING THAT SSF4 IS TO BIG FOR THE 3DS TO HANDLE THAN I RESPOND TO THAT BY SAYING THAT THEY ARE GOING TO PUT GAMES LIKE THE LEGEND OF ZELDA OCARINA OF TIME(WHICH IS A PRETTY LONG GAME) AND METAL GEAR SOLID 3(WHICH ALSO IS A LONG GAME) INTO THE 3DS. IF THEY HAVE ALL THEIR CONTENT AND THE 3DS IS ABLE TO SUPPORT THEM THAN I'M PRETTY SURE THAT SSF4 CAN BE SUPPORTED TOO THAT'S IF SSF4 DOESN'T HAVE MORE THINGS IN IT THAN THOSE OTHER GAMES.

#26

FroggyMan77 said on January 8, 2011 at 11:26 a.m.

@MALDA

I made an account to comment on things, obviously. I come here for TvC, MvC3, and the occasional Third Strike news. 3S is the only Street Fighter that I liked.

I'm not automatically obligated to like SFIV. Stop taking any bad word towards the game as an insult to your personal being. It's just a game, not your entire life, fanboy.

its kind of a downer that the game will be just ssf4 .. and not AE ... considering thats whats gonna be out in the arcades and the supposed DLC in june ..

meh ...

im still getting it >___>

@MALDA

You really don't help yourself when you post all frantically with your run-on sentences and also make stupid assumptions on what people are trying to say.

I'm not trying to "convince" anyone of anything. I was simply expressing MY opinion, that because of this game's high pricing, the fact that I don't really like SFIV gameplay all that much, and the fact that there's a fighting game I liked more around the corner coming out for the same system, that I (emphasis on "I") was not interested in buying this game.

But of course, this is par the course for you, MALDA. Whenever someone says anything that you perceive as "hating" towards your favorite series, you take it as though you've been stabbed in the gut multiple times. When it's just a video game.

Keep on fanboying, MALDA.

naters said on January 8, 2011 at 12:33 p.m.

i wonder if it will get DLC for ssf4ae i read that the 3ds cartridges can hold up to 8 gigabytes soo maybe Nintendo will allow DLC hopefully

#32

cvs said on January 8, 2011 at 12:41 p.m.

@4 That's debatable.

@8 I would.

@10 Actually VS series games can be played on a psp,if you know how to do it that is.

@12 I only heard about CS2 comming to psp.

@32 Even if the system could not hold that much space,you can always buy SD memory cards for it.

I dont know what you pussies are talking about. I will pay $60 to be able play SSFIV at work. Actually i will be getting 3DS just for this game.

Utils said on January 8, 2011 at 12:49 p.m.

Quoted from http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2011...

"I'm not sure if it's an MT Framework thing, but Resident Evil Revelations and Super Street Fighter IV (both MT Framework titles) had the smoothest 3D visuals amongst the Nintendo World games that I played (and I played most of the big ones)."

Okay, someone with an andriasang.com account PLEASE correct them. Super Street Fighter IV does NOT use MT Framework. MT Framework games are GORGEOUS, SFIV games are just okay. They don't look as fantastic as MT Framework games.

This is an insult to the MT Framework engine, really.

Also, dig that slapshod gaming journalism! andriasang.com cannot be trusted.

This looks pretty f***ing amazing.

I will be buying this, don't care about the price.

Oh wait, I'm supposed to hate this and sound unimpressed.

Ahem.

This looks like crap.

Am I cool yet?

@42 Thank you Froggyman77,i didn't know it was comming out on nintendo 3ds,hopefully it will have online play since the psp version doesn't.It only has local ad-hoc play.

@CVS
unless you live in japan don't expect to get your hands on it in Spring 2011, because they're talking about Japanese release

#44

Ex_Ein said on January 8, 2011 at 2:49 p.m.

the link I posted shows the price for all the lanch line up and street fighter 4 is one of the lower ones

#45

Otter_of_Death said on January 8, 2011 at 2:53 p.m.

This game would sell so much better if the new AE characters were in it. I can't think of a reason why they wouldn't be.

#46

cvs said on January 8, 2011 at 3:16 p.m.

@44 Oh ok,well it looks like i will have to check if the nintendo 3ds is region locked or not then see if it's worth importing or waiting for a usa release.

@48 How many times have I saw you requesting for a PC version of SSF4???

BTW... Capcom... why milk the same thing over and over again?

#49

powderedtoastman said on January 8, 2011 at 4:15 p.m.

@#32
If them carts can hold 8GB then im sure they can fit the entire game uncut with added stuff no prob. Dont the 360 disc hold the same amount and of course more visually enhanced and it has no problem with anything.
and the 3DS version should have the fastest load times too which would be a plus.

And to people wondering and yang and yun, nothing would stop capcom from making them dlc seeing how the pulled it off for the iphone one. And remember they added deejay on what was supposed to be vanilla street fighter 4. So the title of it would hold no baring. Most likely they dont wanna annouce yun and yang to avoid spoiling it for console dlc.

#50

histopher said on January 8, 2011 at 4:46 p.m.

I assume the move shortcuts will work like on the iPhone, so you still need to charge for charge moves, but you don't need to do the other motions. Just hold back and press the button.

Really looking forward to this!

djb1ge said on January 8, 2011 at 6:03 p.m.

Damn... If 3DS games are gonna be $60, I don't wanna know how much the device itself will cost. Good luck with that, Nintendo.

dondb said on January 8, 2011 at 6:04 p.m.

The logo reminds me of "Back to the Future". Game looks pretty sweet. Will probably get it eventually.

JoseRufus said on January 8, 2011 at 8:53 p.m.

I THINK THE 3DS COST 300 DOLLARS

I would've gladly went for this version...if I didn't already own SSFIV on 360. :P

#56

cvs said on January 9, 2011 at 12:26 p.m.

@56 That's not the point. You can't put a xbox360 in your pocket now can you?

#57

Loghorn said on January 9, 2011 at 12:47 p.m.

I know that, I'm just saying, why bother buying the same kind of game on a portable system if you already got it on your console, especially when it won't be all that different from the console versions?

Games like the remake of OOT for the 3DS I can understand, because I don't own a N64 or a Gamecube & that it'll offer many different things for the remake.

SSFIV, however, it's basically the same as the home console versions, with graphics being toned down & such.

Nitecrawler said on January 10, 2011 at 12:31 p.m.

this could be great if it doesn't kill my eyes and cramp my hands to death. i saw a 3DS at E3 running a Kid Icarus vid and it was cool but really strained my eyes. i guess time will tell...
