LOS ANGELES, CA – March 10, 2010 – Capcom®, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today released Street Fighter® IV for the iPhone and iPod touch onto Apple’s App Store. The hotly anticipated fighting game has been rebuilt from the ground up to take full advantage of the iPhone platform while still remaining true to the legendary series’ high-action arcade roots.
No fighting game is complete without multiplayer and Street Fighter IV doesn’t disappoint. Players can battle head-to-head in “Versus” mode via Bluetooth bringing the excitement of the arcade to the palm of their hand.
The controls in Street Fighter IV are managed using a unique “Visual Pad” system created specifically for the iPhone. By activating “SP Move Assist” players can trigger their character’s Special Moves with a tap of a button and a directional input. Hardcore players can disable the feature and enter the complete command manually if they so choose. Additionally, players can fully customize the interface by repositioning controls anywhere on the screen as well as setting the level of transparency.
