Super Street Fighter IV Shoryukens the PSP
Among the first games shown running on Nintendo’s latest handheld, the Nintendo 3DS was Super Street Fighter IV. Many PlayStation fans were left wondering as to why no PlayStation portable version of SSFIV was announced, seeing as how Capcom put the original Street Fighter IV on the iPhone. Capcom’s Yoshinori Ono revealed to Famitsu why this is so and might prove even further why the PSP 2 needs to happen sooner than later.
This weeks newest issue of Famitsu features an interview with Mr. Ono and he simply stated that the PSP nor the DS could handle a portable version of Super Street Fighter IV. Which begs the question…why not? Capcom decided to do a iPhone version of SFIV, and seeing as how Capcom loves to port their games to every console ever made, why no love for the PSP? This also brings up another question..whatever happened to the PSP version of Resident Evil that was announced last E3?
While the rest of the gaming world is enamored with the 3DS, perhaps it is time for Sony to unveil the PSP2. I mean, what can they lose at this point? Sure the PSP sells well in their homeland of Japan, but elsewhere, the PSP easily ranks last among sales and it’s disappointing if you ask me. The PSP can do so much more than the DS could ever dream of and has a system full of stellar games, yet Sony doesn’t lower their standards by letting loads of crappy shovel-ware flood their handheld system. ‘Nintendo seal of quality’ my ass!
Stayed tuned to PlayStation LifeStyle for all the latest Street Fighter (There has been a TON of as of late) and PlayStation Portable news.

So the psp can do tekken and soul calibur but not street fighter….right….
that’s a load of BS for an excuse
*cough cough* bullshit *cough cough*
if it can handle tekken, it can freaking handle street fighter. ffs.
I’d really like this website to stop this claptrap of the time is now for a psp2, it freaking isnt, why dont u start stating the case to developers such as capcom, that they are idiots for saying that ssf4 cant be on it. Start reviewing great psp games more, righting articles about what’s happening with it, instead of just looking for the latest bread crumb of a psp2, i mean come on. the psp we have is great, and should be good for at least another 2 years, it’s still got great specs. If the ds can be seen as a great handheld THEN THE CURRENT PSP IS A MASTERPIECE. if tekken 6 could be effortlessly put on, they have absolutely no reason to not bring it. there’s absolutely no reason why street fighter belongs on an iphone with that freaking interface aswell, U SHOULD be writing about that, i mean ffs.
Makes me wonder why Nintendo gets SSF4 on 3DS and not PSP getting SF4 unless its exclusive to 3DS.

LOL
you saw the SF X Tekken, Capcom is trying to save money and make the most use out of their crappy/odd SF4 character models (I’m surprised they’re using good looking models in Mvs.C3). I guess they just don’t work on PSP. (if you played Dark Void, you know how Capcom likes to cut corners… I can’t believe they allowed the game to be released. I’ve loved Jet Packs since I was 3 when The Rocketeer movie was released…so I had to buy Dark Void [later at $12 on Half.com])
but, in due time Sony will announce PSP2, Piracy is what is killing the PSP, and I think a PSP2 will go all digital, almost illuminating piracy… for a while.
