The highly anticipated fighting game Street Fighter IV could be ported to the Wii, or even the Game Boy, according to producer Yoshinori Ono. In an interview with Wired’s Game|Life blog, Mr Ono said the game’s beautiful visuals would not limit it from being ported to less powerful consoles. As long as the mechanics were the same, it could potentially be ported to any console. More inside
“”Street Fighter IV, as it stands now, would be well-suited for the higher-level platforms. But the game doesn’t have to have these visuals in order to be fun. We could go, potentially, to the Wii. We could make it on Game Boy, for all we know right now,”" he said. “”As long as the rules are the same, that can be independent of the visuals. So we’re not going to be limited by any hardware specs; we’re going to aim as wide as possible.”"
Mr Ono used a chess analogy to explain.
“”You could have a gold-inlaid board, knights with diamonds in their eyes. Or you could just draw a grid on a piece of paper and use cheap plastic pieces. And you’re having the same amount of fun.”" While not a confirmation of a Wii version, Capcom are certainly making all the right noises that one is on its way.
