Street Fighter IV: Volt uppercuts onto iPhone tonight, complete with World Warrior wi-fi multiplayer mode
Sonic Boom
The latest excuse to virtually punch, kick, and pile-drive your friends will be arriving on iPhone tonight in the form of Street Fighter IV: Volt.
This version of the long-running 2D fighting game features the first opportunity for iPhone owners to play wirelessly over wi-fi in the new World Warrior mode.
This is on top of the Bluetooth multiplayer options featured in the previous Street Fighter IV outing.
Of the 17 characters there are three who making their debuts. Fans of the series will recognise boxer Balrog, tiger-claw-wielding Vega, and the moody convict Cody.
Street Fighter IV Volt will hit the App Store tonight for 59p/99c/€0.79. That price will rise incrementally every day this week until it hits its fixed price of £3.99/$6.99/€5.49.
