Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition confirmed for 3DS launch

Shortly after Nintendo's 3DS event, Capcom released an English version of the Nintendo World 2011 Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition trailer, along with new gameplay footage -- both of which you can see after the break. More importantly, however, is the assertion that it will be "available as a launch title for the Nintendo 3DS." That makes Super Street Fighter IV the first known launch title in North America! We'd like to pretend it's the only launch title, which would make it really easy for us to find other SSF4 owners to play it with.

Capcom also says that the online features will be available from launch, making it "the only title to utilize the full capabilities of Nintendo's online network at launch." Said features include online multiplayer and a Spectator Mode that allows users to watch other online fights. Other new features include a 3D display mode, "Simple Controls" that use the touchscreen to launch combos, and StreetPass-based multiplayer that uses virtual figurines, which automatically fight other figurines they encounter via local wireless connections.

@JnRx

oh, i just thought this has been AWESOME

That looks so good for a handheld.

That's great and all, but i want Marvel vs. Mapcom 3 on the the 3DS!!!!

@Mrguy you know that guy

Gotta wait. Not a launch title. ;-)

awesome, but i'd actually like a new game. Its just that i own SF4 in 2 systems now.

Looks good....

Wait, did they just say that two people without the game can grab it (temporarily, natch) from a third 3DS and play against each other?

@LoopyChew
Yes it did say that...WHICH IS TOTALLY AWESOME!

@LoopyChew Good ol' DS download play, It was great for games of Mario Kart DS, and I hope it works great for this as well.

Stupid uncloseable ads!

It says that the street pass does a fun mini game with other 3ds but if its just does it while the 3ds is off then why does it need to be fun lol. On a side note people will be able to launch a hadouken with the press of a button. Let the spamming commence!!!

If the street pass mini game is only for when the 3ds is off then why does it need to be fun lol. On a side note capcom made it so u can launch a hadouken with the press of a button. Let the spamming commence!!!

The Puffs ad in the first video covered up all the text I wanted to read, with no close button. wtg

@Kaijin: I had to watch an Olay Regenerist ad before the second video. And advertisers wonder why they aren't making money on internet advertising. Joystiq's target audience? Olay Regenerist users!

amazed they passed on a portable marvel vs capcom 3 , for this.

surprised they passed on a portable mavel vs capcom3 for this but il still buy it.

George Michael?
