    This is a full-featured port on a new platform, and it is without question the best portable fighting game ever released.

    Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition is a perfect port and then some. Everything its bigger console-version brother had, you'll see return on the smaller screen of the 3DS. The extra options are fun additions, but don't really improve on the game itself. That brings us to a nice and simple conclusion: are you sick of Street Fighter IV yet, or what?

    This is easily the best title in the 3DS launch lineup, and it's proof that the potential is there for the slow-starting system.

    A staggering port of an exceptional fighting game, but for all its accomplishments this is not the definitive version of the game. [Mar 2011, p.47]

    A great game. It's not only the best launch game for the Nintendo 3DS, but will certainly be regarded as a great purchase for years to come.

    Nice use of the 3D effect, a lot of content, great controls and simply the best release game on the console.

    Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition could arguably be the best portable version of the core series yet produced, but this is testament to the severely limited nature of what came before rather than any standout success on this game's part.

    SSF4 is an amazing port, with all the features of the original console version. All the challenges are there, and this version even packs inSSF4 is an amazing port, with all the features of the original console version. All the challenges are there, and this version even packs in all the alternate costume packs that were available for purchase on the console versions. The graphics are brilliant, with only the backgrounds suffering from lowered textures, and also becoming static, but to be honest, does that really matter? You don't play fighting games for the background. The online works brilliantly, ditching the friend codes, and letting you play against anyone online almost instantly. There's always someone online, and you can set what type of people you want to play against in the menu, I.e, Amateur, Semi-pro. You can also collect figures of the characters to fight them against other players figures. The fights take place through Street Pass, and happen almost instantly. You get FP, the points used to get more figures, by playing Arcade Mode, fighting other people in Street Pass, or playing Online.

    If you've got a 3DS, or are planning to get one soon, SSF4 3D is one of the best launch games available.    … Expand

    I'm a gamer since 1993, and i always prefered Tekken over Street Fighter
    but in 2014 (i know am a bit late since this was released in 2011) I    I'm a gamer since 1993, and i always prefered Tekken over Street Fighter
    but in 2014 (i know am a bit late since this was released in 2011) I had a change in heart
    the only stupid thing is the cutscenes that i couldn't take seriously [e.g. Dudly drinking tea with his boxing gloves on, or Ken in the hospital wearing the same karate clothes while his wife giving birth to his child]
    .. anyways

It has everything that is needed to make a good Street Fighter game. The 3D effect, while not needed to be up to the system's max, is not the greatest that could have been done, but when it is used, provides a nice addition to the game. The online functionality is very good, allowing for quick matchups and custom matchups. The controls are smooth and seamless, while being inviting to newer players. They may need to take some time and check things out, both in the game and in the manual, but it is a very good game. Though it has some minor bumps that could have been fixed and prepared for that launch, it is, overall, a great game.… Expand

    Probably the best launch game - which isn't saying much, but to say this is my first Street Fighter game I've properly owned I still found itProbably the best launch game - which isn't saying much, but to say this is my first Street Fighter game I've properly owned I still found it an enjoyable experience. I've heard this version is quite simplistic from others in terms of pulling of moves, and I have to agree - from others I've played it's a much easier to control game - which isn't always great for most - the complexity of each of the character's attacks is what made the series so appealing to many but the automatic touch screen controls do bring newcomers more up to snuff with the big boys, which makes pros who've spent long hours mastering each technique a little cheesed off understandably - but for someone like me I had little quarrel and did try and not just to keep spamming the ultra-powerful moves and I did try and learn to play it properly! All the features and modes do work well though, it's a solid port from the current home consoles and the 3D effect does give a good (if subtle) effect. If you didn't like any of the other street fighters, little is going to change your view - as expected, the formula is pretty unchanged. But it's the best pick up and play game yet - and it's one most/everyone should have as their number 1 launch game.… Expand
