Oh no they didn’t, oh yes they did! Street fighter IV is coming to an iPhone near you and we have the screenshots to prove it (thanks to IGN). Suprisingly the iPhone interpretation of the title maintains its graphical style and we are told that every fighter included will come with thier complete move list all the way down to thier ultras. At the time of writting only Ryu and Ken have been confirmed for the roster but Capcom insist that the cast will be a compilation of new and old fighters. The title will also be sporting full multiplayer options as I’m sure you all agree that Street Fighter without the ability to pound on a real life human being isn’t really Street Fighter at all and Capcom understands that.
Looking at the screenshots though, the controls dont look all that great with the game being controlled using the iPhones virtual joystick and buttons. Although Capcom says there will be a wide variety of configurations making the transition that little bit more comfotable its unlikely that you’ll be taking this title seriously on release. At most we can see this being a mild distraction from the huge library of games available on the phone of course this won’t stop it selling like hot cakes, it is Street Fighter after all. Hit the jump for the images and let us know what you think.

I live, breathe, eat, sleep and drink GEEK! Been gaming since I was 4 years old and have made it my mission to own every gaming platform since I held my first NES controller. There isn't a genre I don't enjoy, if a game is even remotely good I'll be playing it. In my spare time (when I'm not gaming) I like to feed my anime, Japanese Culture and Gundam model kit addictions.
If we are going to get on there is two things you need to acknowledge - Hideo Kojima is a GOD and Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a master piece!
God truly is a GEEK!
