Street Fighter IV will soon be throwing fireballs on the screens of Android devices, Capcom has confirmed.
That's good news for all, but particularly for LG handset users who will have exclusive access to the game for the first three months after its release later this year thanks to a deal struck between Capcom and LG.
SFIV's release is set to coincide with the release of LG's "soon-to-be-unveiled" HD display technology for new handsets. "As we prepare our first HD smartphone for launch, it was important for us to be able to offer HD content that would really demonstrate this phone's benefits," said Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of LG. "The HD version of Street Fighter certainly fills this objective."
We expect the Android version of SFIV to be the same as (or at least incredibly similar to) the version iPhone users have been playing (in HD too on iPhone 4) since early 2010 - which looks and plays surprisingly well considering the lack of physical buttons.
