Street Fighter IV's presence is testament to the visual horsepower of the 3DS.
Street Fighter IV is one of the more surprising titles on the 3DS line up. It is part of a push to engage third parties on the 3DS hardware from launch - one that seems to have worked pretty well.
The screen shots show an obviously downgraded - but still impressive - rendering of the art style from the 360 and PS3 version. It will be interested to see if you have the choice of using the Analogue nub or D-pad for controls and how they handle left handed players.
The 3D nature of the display will add depth to the pseudo 3D rendering of the fights but is unlikely to impact on game play beyond this. It's also unlike that the 3DS's other interactive features will be made use of. Which although sounds like a negative comment is in fact testament to Capcom's faith in the visual horsepower of the 3DS - it being enough to carry the game on it's own.
Street Fighter IV Wii next?
