Ono: Street Fighter IV 3DS will be a perfect port

The man behind the recent resurrection of the Street Fighter franchise, Yoshinori Ono, has claimed that the forthcoming 3DS iteration will be a perfect conversion.

"The gameplay we can port perfectly from the PS3 and Xbox 360 version and we're not going to subtract anything out of that," said Ono.

If anything, the 3DS version could end up with more features than the console versions, specifically relating to control options.

“We are currently working hard on researching the possibility of having two control options," said Ono. One will be for grizzled Street Fighter veterans “who played on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System” – so the usually six button setup, then.

The other system is aimed at introducing younger players to Street Fighter’s intoxicating brand of pugilism. “We are going to support them by providing an interface on the touchpad so they can play not knowing how the game used to be played.”

Makes you feel old, doesn’t it?
