We know that Street Fighter IV is possible for the Wii, but it looks like at least one person has decided it's going to happen. Is it a typo? Wishful thinking? Someone with advance knowledge? There's no telling, but the game was listed as a Wii title on the back of what appears to be a promotional DVD packed-in with Japanese manga magazine Champion Red. There, in a list of other Capcom titles, are the words Wii owners may be longing to see. We're not getting our hopes up over this one -- at least, not much -- but on the other hand, after what Capcom said about putting the title anywhere it will fit, a Wii release does seem likely. We just doubt this is the proof, so put your Classic Controller down and just be patient.

To be honest, SF4 doesn't look too hot. But then again, I was never a huge Street Fighter fan. I preferred the simpler Marvel Vs Capcom series. And 3D fighters, a-la Virtua Fighter.
Where are the 3D fighters on the Wii?

Here's a thought: Wat if SF IV had a Wii Balance Board control scheme?

If they fix the "HULK HAND" issue that seems to be the new laughing stock, then I might be excited. But if it's going to be an insult to the series, I'd rather it just stick to the other systems (which if you look at some of their sequels to popular franchises, esp when they did the "make it 3d from 2s" bit it's not hard to imagine them being able to screw up street fighter).
in fact, most of capcom's "new" fighters, especially the ones made on the ps2/gamecube/xbox generation, were horrid. I'm not sure I have a lot of confidence in their ability to do this franchise justice.

I'd rather had a HD version of the game ala the new KOF title. That one demonstrated that HD sprite are even more awesome than this new gen SFIV renders, so I would like a HD version of SFIV

Off-topic but...
Gotta love how a lot of leaked sale ads from Japan have a girl in a small outfit above the actual news xD

If it comes out on the Wii, I doubt it would be a Wii exclusive.
I'm on the fence on this game; I think I need to play it before I can decide if its a good game or a "remake" of SFII with a few new fighters.
King Of Fighters 12 looks like its going to be the fighting game to buy to satisfy my 2d fighter needs with Soul Calibur 4 taking care of 3d.
My Wii is collecting dust and the only games I see myself getting for it are all potential VC games.

I'd believe it. What i've seen of it so far looks good, but not "so good its too good for Wii" good, kinda on par with Sonic Unleashed, something that could reasonably be ported without a massive loss in quality

I'm more worried about a loss of quality compared to other SF games.
