Kotaku: If you buy one 3DS game, get Super Street Fighter 4

Posted — March 5, 2011 at 11:49 a.m. PST

Kotaku posted a review of Super Street Fighter 4 on the 3DS, giving it pretty high praise, stating that if you're going to buy Nintendo's latest handheld — this is the game to get for it.

Knocks on the game, in their eyes, included the 3D view and lifeless backgrounds, but here are some of the things they liked.

Graphics: At launch, this is one of the best looking 3DS games you can buy. It really is. The graphics aren't the same as the console or arcade versions, but they are far more than serviceable.

Online: I have horrible, horrible nightmares of when I tried to play others online in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It was not a good experience, and I was dreading the same for Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition. Amazingly, that was not the case. Online was seemingly lag-free, smooth and painless. SSFIV:3D proves that the 3DS can do online and do it well.

lol, I thought they were talking about a sale when I first read the title: "buy anyone 1 3DS game, and get SSF4 free."

Stider Frank = FAKE. Colors wrong, shadows wrong and Strider artwork is from else where.

Considering the 3DS's less-than-stellar launch lineup, this isn't really saying much.

That's a quite good shop if it is.
As much as I want Strider in, Capcom said they had some licensing issues. Getting Strider in would mean they'd have to pay.
I'm not sure if they're willing to invest money on one single character, even though a lot of people would probably buy him(like me).

*sigh*

It's a shame SSBB left a bad taste in everyone's mouth with it's shi++y online. Other games play well online, like Mario Kart, and Tatsunoko.

That's like saying that because SFII Hyper Fighting's online was shi+, HD Remix was gonna have shi++y online.
Each game has it's own damn netcode, and a system does not dictate how online will fair.

Already done as of last week. Not like there's anything else worth buying for it until a few months anyway.
