Street Fighter 4: 3D Edition Review (Nintendo 3DS)

2011-03-27
hey guys this is Kevin with Texas lunch and dinner with our review of Super Street Fighter for 3d edition for the 3ds now at its core the game plays almost identically to its console counterparts controls are all the same and it uses a button configuration similar to Street Fighter 2 back on the SNES with shoulder buttons being heavy attacks the controls are comfortable enough for standard use but the touchscreen hotkeys are a necessity whenever doing anything their heart is hitting more than two attack buttons at once in fact the touchscreen has two control settings a light mode in which hotkeys are used to just auto entering commands which some characters becoming disgustingly better like guile with instant flash kicks and a pro mode in which this touchscreen is used simply for multiple buttons it's like triple punch or the throw command it's surprisingly comfortable and the only real major issue with the controls is the 3d S is awkward control stick in the tiny directional pad as for the 3d effects of the game they're actually pretty awesome 3d can be used a normal side view game played but it really shines when you make use of the 3ds version exclusive dynamic view and over-the-shoulder style camera that really shows off the 3d s's 3d effects especially when projectile attacks like Hadouken czar used this view does make aiming some moves and abilities a little awkward at first but with a bit of practice it's pretty easy to adapt to and gives an interesting feel the games online capabilities are strong local matches have no time delay and online matches have been solid lag is rare and the only interesting problem have noted is that a lot of online players that are new to Street Fighter seem to be using the light controls and simply spam the touchpad meaning they have a total of two moves and supers it's actually really funny to watch alongside all these little adjustments to fit the 3ds Super Street Fighter 4 3d also features a collectible figurine minigame as players play Street Fighter they'll earn points that can be used to play a slot machine minigame which allows for the collection of various figurines and different colors these figurines can then be used in a minigame where they fight one another in the background and matches can occur even while the 3ds is in sleep mode winning these fights leads to even more points which then leads to even more figures you can even trade your figures with friends it's an interesting little side game to give some reason to keep playing just for collection purposes but it's nothing groundbreaking to the title overall Super Street Fighter 4 3d Edition is an excellent port there while potentially unbalancing for some characters in Lite mode still allows for fun portable play and maybe one of the best portable fighting experiences I've ever had anyone who enjoys fighting games and plans on picking up 3ds will find this title well worth purchasing and is a strong launch title to show off what the 3ds is capable that's our review Super Street Fighter 2 for 3d edition I'm Kevin fertility thanks for watching you
