TOKYO--It's been nearly nine years since Capcom released its last Street Fighter title, Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike. Despite its age, the game still remains to be a popular title in arcades and its graphics are considered by some to be the epitome in 2-D fighting game animation. But for their 20th anniversary sequel, the developers at Capcom decided to take a step into the next generation, and to create Street Fighter IV in 3D graphics rather than to hit the same old 2D road. Although Capcom reassured fans that the game would play using the same two-dimensional mechanics that the series is known for, the shift in graphics still became a hot topic of debate amongst long-time fans. Will the game be like the other 3D renditions of Street Fighter in the past, or will it be something different? We've seen the screenshots, we've seen the illustrations and today we got to play the real thing.
