Lissette downloaded this on her iPhone this week and I'd be really hard-pressed to say that I wasn't impressed with what they managed to pull off with the system hardware.
Granted, it's not perfect, with load times before matches somewhere around the 20-30 second mark, no online play, (transparent) on-screen touch controls that take up 25% of the screen, and the fact that the game did chug a few times while I was playing AND it crashed once when I was about 5 matches deep into arcade mode ....
... all that aside it's pretty much Street Fighter IV!!
I know that the dev team behind this built it from the ground up specifically for the iPhone, so it's not like it'd be a fast/easy port over to PSP or DS ... but I see no reason why if they achieved what they did on that platform that it can't be done on either of those systems.
Granted, PSP2 and DS2 are likely right around the corner and we'll probably see an iteration of the Street Fighter franchise on either or both of those ...
Has anybody else picked it up on their i-platform of choice??
