Street Fighter 4 on the Wii and iPhone is possible says Capcom producer
Street Fighter 4 producer Yoshinori Ono was interviewed back at the Leipzig Games Convention 2008, which brought up an interesting proposal. After the Arcade, PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of Street Fighter 4, it could come to Wii and iPhone! Here are some choice quotes from that interview.
1UP asks: There’s been some talk from Capcom — I can’t remember if it was you or someone else who said this — that if there’s enough demand for it, a Wii version of Street Fighter 4 could be possible. So where are you with things now? How would you view a Street Fighter game on the Wii — would you keep it as “Street Fighter 4″ or do some sort of “Street Fighter Kids”?
Mr. Ono answers: Yeah, it’s definitely true that we’ve had a lot of requests for a port for the Wii. And it’s definitely doable. We just don’t have any plans for it yet, that’s all. If we feel strongly enough that it would sell, I’d imagine we’d do it. But it definitely would be Street Fighter 4 — not some dumbed down version.
1UP asks: So is there really any question within Capcom that a Wii version would sell?
Mr. Ono answers: Going back to my philosophy for Street Fighter, the game is essentially a tool, not just a unique piece of entertainment. I think of it like chess — that game can be played anywhere. As long as people want to play Street Fighter 4, it could be on anything — even this iPhone, for that matter [Points to the iPhone on the table]. It really could be on any platform that could support it. So let’s just see what happens.
