Street Fighter IV Wii not ruled out
Yoshinori Ono, a producer at Capcom has gone on record and said Street Fighter IV could possibly head to the Wii. He feels the game could work on any platform, since it's the controls that are important, rather than graphical details.
"Street Fighter IV, as it stands now, would be well suited for the higher level platforms. But the game doesn't need these visuals in order to be fun. We could go, potentially, to the Wii. We could make it on Game Boy for all we know right now".
"As long as the rules are the same, that can be independent of the visuals. So we're not going to be limited by any hardware specs; we're going to aim as wide as possible".
Of course, this is no confirmation by any means, and could just be lip service.

Well I do hope it comes out on Wii. If not I do have a PS2. So I can hope for that system if not the Wii, and if not PS2 then I must cry for I am Super Hero In Training out of luck (think about it).

I hope it is true, the last good one on a Nintendo was Super Street Fighter II on SNES. Too many hardcore games are put on the other 2, companies are way underestimating Wii. If this is released maybe more companies will actually make serious Wii games.

Oh man, let's hope it comes to Wii. Street fighter is probably the best fighting game next to the Super Smash Bros series.

Sounds kewl I guess. I never really played street fighter when I was younger.

The old "Wii dosen't have the processing power" excuse was getting pretty old. Although graphics don't really matter for Streets, they should not half ass it. They also shouldn't put in waggle for the heck of it because that will totally break the game. Then again, it would open the gate to a sonic boom spamfest.

HA! Great image! Oh man, that is probably one of the greatest Naruto references I'll ever see, freaking awesome. That said, good news. People like Street Fighter.

I would have to disagree. Although Smash is good it can't hold the fighting genre for Wii on its shoulders. Wii needs more games Streets, Guilty Gear and Tekken to make it a contender.

I doubt Tekken will go on Wii, but I'm hoping for SFIV, Tekken 6, and VF6 all being on the Wii. Fighting games are my all time favorite genre of video games.

How can you call ssbb a real fighting game when you really only have 4 basic moves besides punch or kick or how about combos? What's the max combo a person could do? 1v1v1v1 is fun and all but I tend to like fighting games that take a lil bit more strategy than keep attacking here or there or just avoid everyone until someone is about to get KOed, then jump in and KS someone. 1v1 that takes thinking. Move wise is a bit funner.

The glory that once shone, Street Fighter II on the Super NES now lies with the Wii. We can only hope for Capcom to make the right decision. Might I remind them that the Super NES version of Street Fighter II: The World Warrior was indeed Capcom's best selling home console title in history, why not make SFIV a part of that history?
