Street Fighter IV not planned for Wii

via Eurogamer


Street Fighter IV producer Yoshinori Ono has reiterated that there are no plans to produce a Wii version of the upcoming arcade and console beat-'em-up.

Speaking at Captivate 08 in Las Vegas last week, Ono brought the subject up himself during his presentation. "The fact of the matter is we haven't planned for a Wii version yet," he said.

In fact, when rumours broke of a Wii version, Ono had to go to Nintendo and apologise about the rumour, he added.

Street Fighter IV is due out in Japanese arcades this summer, and we got to play a near-complete version at Captivate. You can check out our thoughts and Ono's comments on a range of subjects in our Street Fighter IV hands-on preview.

The game is also due out on PS3, 360 and PC.

As I expected. Most of the Wii owners will not care, but I think it would still sell well.
