Yeah, like somebody says, it probably connects to the Wii version of Arcade Edition. He probably can't talk about it because the home versions haven't actually been announced yet, right?

I don't see this likely at all. Whoever *really* wants SSFIV has it on one of the three platforms it's been available on for months and months. A Wii version this late wouldn't sell. Even if it's AE. Will they really sell many new AE copies at all? I don't think they can do a third retail thing of the same base game. Maybe a DLC expansion, or even a patch, for the existing versions. I could however see it being a launch title for NGP also. Ports for launch titles make more sense. I don't personally believe we'll see Wii 2 at E3 so, this is probably hinting that the NGP version will be compatible with the PS3 version in online play, maybe save data, and what not. Nice as it will ensure early NGP adopters will have a decent community to play with if they choose this game over others in the launch lineup, but hardly anything to be excited over.

 

[comedy bomb]

My guess is it's the latest version of SSF4 that will come to PS3/NGP. Nothing to do with Nintendo.

 

[Gospel]

if he was just referring to sfiv in general, then i bet it's ps3 to ngp, especially given sony's main plan for the ngp, instead of 3ds to RANDOM CONSOLE.

NGP was my first guess too.

preeety sure you a lot of you guys are setting yourselves up for disappointment if you're buying into this fuzz. someone misinterpreted an article, and here we are.

Actually, would cartridges be a good option? Considering how slowly many PS3 games load (unless you install them), I think it would be nice to see something faster. But then there are DS games like Metroid Prime: Hunters (which loaded slower than the Gamecube game), or 3DS games like Ridge Racer 3D (with ~10 second loading times)...

Carts would be a disaster. Sure their capacity for the price is much better these days. But its still got fuck all on a 50GB BRD. Although there it would make me smile to see them actually release a console with twice the power of a PS3 which is on par with the PS4 and X720 and then hamstring themselves into inferior ports (or no ports at all) by having only a fraction of the available game space as their competitors (N64 lol). Ohhhh that would make for a hilarious gen.

 

[watershed]

I don't know why anyone would believe that site. Its not geared towards videogames, it doesn't have any real quotes from Ono, it doesn't even seem like an interview ever actually happened (that picture could be from anywhere), and the article reads like it was written by a 6th grader.
If anything its the NGP and PS3 or just completely made up.

Yoko Ono! Super Wii here we come...

 

[jufonuk]

Guys, it's the Wii

It connects to the fucking Wii

He just can't say it.

(I am not 100% sure this is true but it is probably better to believe this or you will hate yourself, Ono, and everything else in June.)

you mean SSFIV:Wii? (yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay) of SSFIV:fit? (noooooooooooooooooooooooooo)

 

[rpmurphy]

Yoko Ono! Super Wii here we come...

Super Duper Street Fighter IV

 

[Sadist]

[Grampasso]

Wii Too

Spoiler

I actually think that would be a great name for the successor

 

[EatChildren]

Of course this is going to happen. How else will you unlock Chun-Li and Juri in Nintendo Vs. Capcom?

 

[Why would you do that?]

Wii Too

Spoiler

Super Wii fo' life!
Then Palcom Wii. But Nintendo will have to change the name.

[Smiles and Cries]

It would be a good time for a new home console

early 2012 or this Holiday would be very nice

 

[enzo_gt]

Wii to get SF4 this fall confirmed. SSFIV next fall, and then SSFIVAE as a launch title for Wii 2 the following year.

Spoiler

And then well never get TvC on XBLA/PSN D:

 

[Screenboy]

sweet lord if wii deux is at e4

 

[Kilrogg]

I would hope it's for the Wii, but then the harsh reality of it all would hit me: I don't have a 3DS anyway, and it's not like you could play the game on the Wii only by owning the cartridge.

:/

 

[gamemadmax]

x-platforming with the xbox.....

 

[Gravijah]

maybe it connects to the 3ds?

 

[Suzzopher]

Have Nintendo ever allowed their consoles to connect with the competitors? It's surely too late for SSFIV to make an impact on Wii?

 

[Medalion]

3DS battles with 360 and PS3 players :O :O :O

 

[Lagunamov]

New Wii incoming...

 

[Medalion]

3 Gamecubes duct-taped together?

 

[gamemadmax]

May be NINTENDO is entering the cell phone market with 3ds/phone !!!!

 

[BowieZ]

3 Gamecubes duct-taped together?

Nah it'll be more a retro inspired console: just the one GameCube this time duct-taped to a Michael Jordan posterette.

 

[Xater]

Here's my bet:

New Capcom wii game (not street fighter)

Connect 3DS to wii

Downloadable trophy for SSF43D

This sounds good. I'm gonna go with that to not fall for Ono's lies.

 

[gofreak]

"Ono : 'a handheld version of' Street Fighter connects to a video game system, can't say more until E3"

Fixed.

He was asked in general about whether a handheld version of SF will ever connect to a home system. There's easier scenarios to imagine here that don't involve the 3DS version at all...

He's hinted at Street Fighter NGP before, right? Looking at that beast, I don't see why multiplayer between NGP and PS3 wouldn't be possible.

 

[Johnny]

If they announce a successor to the Wii at E3 they'll have to release in time for Christmas. The Wii has at least one more solid holiday season left in it, not to mention Nintendo's need to focus on the 3DS and build that userbase before the NGP comes out. Christmas 2012 at the earliest.

 

[gofreak]

I don't know if he has, but I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a version. He also wasn't even asked about cross-platform multiplayer - just about data portability, taking your profile from a home system and continuing on a handheld. IMO that could technically be done with other systems too, but there is nothing 3DS specific about his chat with Eurogamer on that.

Yeah, I thought about stats/profiles whatever, but it's Street Fighter... do people actually care about that stuff? Having it in the game is kind of expected, but I don't think anyone is expecting nor asking for some universal profile between Sony systems. Besides, NGP SFIV will have the disadvantage of being restricted to a 'pad'. People probably don't want their awesome console SFIV stats being messed up by poor NGP play due to control unfamiliarity. I'd imagine Sony would push for cross-platform play just to boast that people can do that.

3 Gamecubes duct-taped together?

Not too far from the real truth ... you only have to change Gamecube for another machine and you have it XD (well maybe 1.5 or 2 will describe it better)

(and no, I'm not joking about it)

Fine... 3 N64's

 

[justchris]

If it was the Wii, why would they wait till E3 to announce? The game has been out since last month in the U.S. and in 3 months from now will anyone care about some Wii connectivity about a game released a quarter ago? It's clearly something else. I thought this E3 was gonna suck. We already got the NGP announcement and it's too early for PS4 and 720 so this could be awesome. I might actually blow a load tonight over the thought of a potential HD Mario game with PS3/360 graphics (or higher).

Because Nintendo has put a moratorium on 3DS announcements until E3. Haven't you wondered why we haven't heard of any new game announcements for the system since it launched? I don't know why they insist on keeping us in the dark, unless it's some sort of plan to blow our minds at E3 so as to prevent NGP from stealing their thunder.

We have heard of Super Mario!

 

[justchris]

He is in major Nintendo mode. Gave an Interview to MSN saying hed actually like to Work at Nintendo if he wasnt at Capcom

OMG, Ono planning to quit Capcom and start his own studio with Nintendo!

We have heard of Super Mario!

Only in the vaguest, "Well of course we're working on Super Mario Bros and Animal Crossing and every other franchise that makes us fat sacks of cash, but we can't tell you anything more specific at this time," sort of way.

 

[_Xenon_]

So Wii HD is finally coming?

You missed GDC? There were Mario details (3D game, 2D sensibilities, precision jumping easier with 3D depth perception allowing for different level design, etc) and screens.

Not arguing against your points, just informing you.

 

[scitek]

Ono he didn't.

Duct tape duct-taped together. It will be glorious.

 

[BY2K]

3 Gamecubes duct-taped together?

4 Gamecubes duct-taped together!

 

[Jocchan]

He never says SSFIV3D Edition. Why can't it just be a SSFIV NGP that connects with the PS3?

Guys guys guys mayeb hes talking abot Super Stret Fighta IV Machampion Edition for the PS4 and it connects to iPad!

 

[Foffy]

So...this probably means a new system more than anything, right? Capcom was late for make a version of Street Fighter IV for Wii after all..

Not that I mind.

 

[DECK'ARD]

Sounds like NGP + new PS3 version of SFIV.

Connectivity built into a 3DS launch title for Secret Super Wii has <1% believability.

 

[Cerebral Assassin]

did it ever occur to you guys that he could be talking about a port of Street Fighter 4 for Wii that has 3DS connectivity? I dont know why everyones assuming "zomg Wii 2"

This sounds like the most reasonable assumption.

 

[DECK'ARD]

This sounds like the most reasonable assumption.

If SFIV was coming to Wii it would have happened by now, and they would have said.

An NGP title on the other hand they aren't allowed to talk about till E3.
