People still want to play Street Fighter on their handheld and recent sales of Street Fighter IV 3D Edition on the Nintendo 3DS show that this is still the case. Capcom says that Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition has sold 100,000 copies from July to September this year which brings the total sales of the game to an impressive 1.2 million. However, the next episode in the Street Fighter franchise will be exclusive to the PlayStation 4 and the PC.
Thanks, Kallum
Of course, I bought it for $5 bucks, even if I didn’t even play it a lot, I got my money value
That’s used moron. There’s no way to track those.
No you retard, the game goes for peanuts on certain days, ive seen it for $4.99 on multiple times on amazon and Best Buy.
I didn’t know they sold used games on eShop
I would definitely buy USF4 if it came to Wii U!
buy it on pc or ps4.It will never come to wii u.It might come to xbox after the SUSF4 extreme deluxe omega edition.
yeah seriously, I sold my SSFIV because last time I played was 8 month ago for 15 minutes before selling it. Sold it for $15.
I was surprised anyone would buy this game for 3DS now, it lacks depth or something else on the replay department (in my opinion).
Fuck that. Smash Bros. is here to fill that void.
^fucking idiot preaching Smash Bros in all his comments here when they can’t even be compared
Of course not, Smash Brothers eclipses anything…
You’re right. Smash Bros. can never be compared and that carbon copy of a ripoff from Sony isn’t even considered comparable or adequate to be classed as such.
Wooow… You’re an idiot… Do you know what fighting games are and why people play them? Go learn some stuff before just saying shit. If you would think that SFV is a carbon copy of USFIV then Smash Wii U is a carbon copy of Brawl. But no there is so much stuff that are changed system mechanics, new everything. The same goes to smash everything is new. Mabye not as big off a difference as between USFIV and SFV but there is a big difference between Smash 4 and Brawl.
One question. How do you judge a fighting game? Please elaborate on that.
I know what they’re not. They’re not PS All-Stars due to being a straight up carbon copy of Smash Bros. in every way so it’s not a legit “fighting game”. Smash 4 being a carbon copy of Brawl? Because of what? Graphics? Nice going on that wise judgement call of yours, dick.
Wtf is wrong with you!? I did not say yhat smash 4 is a carbon copy of brawl. Read through my comment again and understand… Playstation allstar is ass. It sucked. But it still was a real fighting game. An example of not a real fighting game is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liWD7txUXA0
“If you would think SFV is a carbon copy of USFIV, then Smash 4 is a carbon copy of Brawl”
You were saying? And BTW, nobody, including myself, said anything about SF5 being a carbon copy of SF4 so WTF did that come from?
HE said “IF”
IF
IF
Get that into your head
The thing that annoys me about the Street Fighter series is the cartoony graphics and exaggerated body parts. That’s why I used to prefer Mortal Kombat. It was a little more realistic. Though I’m not a fan of either now.
Maybe you should try Tekken. :P
Or only Super Smash Bros. and no, not that cheap ass carbon copy with the most stupidest generic title name ever that happens to be on PS3…
Or shut the fuck up, you obnoxious piece of shit.
The undead man can talk..mummy shit out of its doggy mouth. lol You hear that? I think King Tut is calling for you. Go on. Shoo crackhead wiener dog.
What there hell are you saying?!
Oh my God you’ve been doing heroine again…
Don’t listen to that ass. He’s been brainwashed and is literally programmed to defend nintendo and talk trash of everything else.
Only Smash Bros? Lol are you kidding me? Smash Bros isn’t even an actual fighting game. It’s fun, but why would I only play Smash Bros? I enjoy Smash, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, etc. I’d rather play all of them instead of limiting myself to only one. And plus I just started getting into Tekken and I think it’s pretty awesome.
Then why is it classed as a “fighting” game? Could’ve fooled me.
You know what I meant… Traditional fighters.
If I want a GOOD traditional fighter, I play Mortal Kombat.
Except that Mortal Kombat is another game that has gone retarded…
And so does the masses. lol
Well obviously, humans are nothing more than cattle to amuse me for some time…
Same here Commander
Anyway, just tell me when you want to train together in Smash again someday…
Oh okay. After today, I’m free until Monday.
Good good…
Just let me know when you’re free.
Saturday and Sunday around the same time…
Got it. Before we team up, lets have one more match as a tie breaker to see who’s superior. ;)
We’ll see if you can manage level 3 then…
Level 3?! That’s cute. But I don’t do “noob” level. How about we try out level 10 (beyond 9) for a real challenge? :3
You lost to my level 3 twice yesterday…
Lag, nuff said. lol But you gotta admit, I almost had you and vise versa for you during the first half of our matches.
I had lag too, excuses…
No. Lag did affect my play. I guarantee you if it was as flawless as Mario Kart’s, you’ll see that I’m not some private you shouldn’t be screwing with. XP
So you think that I played my best because of lag and you didn’t?…
If it was flawless, I have no doubt both of us would still be equal…
Probably.
And I don’t think you are a noob, otherwise you would barely even hit me…
No. I would be a noob if I were playing Little Mac using his BS OP punches the entire time. lol
Little Mac is nothing but a nuisance to me but easily destroyed…
Exactly. He’s so fucking annoying and I thought Jigglypuff takes the cake.
Online though, the worst annoying crap are the Kirby and Link spammers…
Predictable, that’s why they are only civilians or low grunts within the empire…
Link is decent but I choose Toon Link for comfortability and mobility. Kirby however…not so much. lol
He’s annoying. But beatable.
Right. lol
I have a question whats your favourite Street Fighter game and favourite MK game… Just wondering.
Only Street Fighter I’ve actually played before is 2. I’ve played a lot of Mortal Kombat though and I’d probably say my favorite is Deception.
Realistic and MK do not belong in the same sentence -_-
Ha! Glad I wasn’t the only one thinking the same thing.

Dat realism
I can hardly believe this game is still being purchased. Not much to do these days.
This really is a surprise, even after 3 new versions of SF4 people are still buying this one. Pretty sure they know almost nothing about the tournament scene, though.
I would rather those people not know about the scene. The lesser, the better.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swPlzzavzWg
The love is still strong for this series.
Why would you buy for the 3DS? -_-
Because it’s the only Nintendo platform you can get it on.
He means why in general?
That’s NOT what he meant.
Its also a pretty decent version.
so there are gamers who are still purchasing gameboy games
Great maybe they will include the rest of the game as dlc and charge $40 for it like I expect them to. Oh who am I kidding ofcourse they wont.
This style of sf is pure shit.
Same goes for mvc.
I never really got into fighting games honestly. SF V will be the first fighting game I’ve played in years…
So you pick SF4 to play first than Smash Bros.? That makes a lot of sense. lol
Smash Bros isn’t a real fighting game…
They fight each other.
Well melee was and still is competitively played
Danmit name
Then what else do you do in Smash Bros.? Nothing but FIGHTING
But it’s not a normal fighting game. The objective in a fighting game is to get your opponent’s life bar to zero percent. In Smash Bros., the objective is to launch your opponent off screen. And there are only a few moves you can do based on your character. There aren’t tons of combos and special moves like you would usually see in a fighting game. And the way you fight also depends on the stage.
You forget Smash Bros. has percentage stamina mode which acts like a life bar. And no, Smash Bros. characters don’t have a “few” moves. Basic attack, down, up, side smash, charge smash, side+B moves, “meteor” smash, mid air basic attacks, mid air side attacks, Final Smash moves. In traditional fighting, you have punch, kick, jump, mid air kick, special, down attack and a Finisher (like Final Smash) and I think thats it. Both have combos in their respective ways but Smash Bros. has and can do a bit more.
Nope. That’s where you’re wrong. Lol. When I was playing Tekken, I had to move in all kinds directions and press like 5-10 buttons in a row. Some characters even have up to 100 different combos. And in fighting games, the combos usually give you a chance to do a devastating finisher move. It’s not like that at all in Smash Bros. You have to get the Smash Ball in order to do that. And I know Smash Bros has the stamina thing, but that’s not the way they made it to be played like normally. Yes, people obviously hit each other in Smash Bros. But Smash Bros is not a “real” fighting game.
Whatever you say nay sayer. XD Just because Smash Bros. is the most popular FIGHTING game since Melee days, doesn’t mean you should deny its a fighting game because it plays differently which what Nintendo is best at, respecting traditions but also doesn’t hold back on breaking traditions and change it in a good way. I’m not saying SF, Tekken or MK sucks now or before but to me, Smash Bros. has achieved a greater sense of balance and competition at a fun level. Have you ever seen a fighting game achieve such sensation?
BTW, I saw Injustice for Wii U at $20. Should I give it a shot?
Yes, I would. I’ve played it a few times and its pretty cool. And I’m only saying Smash Bros isn’t a “real” fighting game. You can’t compare it to traditional fighters cause it’s nowhere near the same thing. That’s like comparing Mario Kart to Forza.
Did I say Smash Bros. is traditional or am I saying it’s already classed as a fighter because it’s what you do in the game: Beat somebody’s ass so it’s a fighting game no matter how your hypocrite mind sees or thinks it.
If Smash Bros isn’t a traditional fighter then why are you still having this conversation with me? That was the whole point of what I was trying to say.
No. I should be asking you that question because you wanna make Smash Bros. sound like it’s not a fighter or a crappy one because it’s not “traditional”. It doesn’t have to be “traditional” to be known as a fighting game of its own. The debate is done. Super Smash Bros. is a fighting game, top of the genre, has its own class and uniqueness besides spamming the same fucking moves in an enclosed stage with almost stiff movements. lol
What are you talking about? I didn’t say Smash Bros was bad. This all started because you said people should only play Smash Bros and not the other fighting games. And I am not going to do that because I still need my fighting games like Mortal Kombat and Tekken. And they play very different from Smash Bros. I said Smash Bros was fun but it will not be the only fighting game I play. Sometimes I just have to play some Mortal Kombat and decapitate some heads. :)
Now you’re saying its actually a “different” fighting game oppose to saying its “NOT” a fighting game 5 minutes ago? Come on. Stall the double standard act. lol
I said it’s not a “real” fighting game. I’m guessing you failed to understand what the quotation marks meant. I said it plays very differently from a tradional fighter. Do you consider PS All Stars a fighting game too? *facepalm* lol
Which also is saying its not a fighting game, period. I’m done here. You can’t even tell from good gaming to half-ass cash in rehashes (COD) anymore.
No it isn’t. I already told you what it means. And who said anything about CoD? What the fuck does that have to do with anything?!
I don’t nor ever said or consider PS All-Stars a fighting game. I consider it as a testament of Sony’s sad ass continuance of ripping off another IP that’s superior and original.
“Traditional” fighting games
To spam the most ridiculous moves like that blue energy ball from Ryu or that fucking “Mr. Fantastic” strechy arms that I despise so much? We get it. No real skills found in these games anymore.
You just suck at the game. Lol.
No. I remember SF2 use to be fun and balanced except for that Mr. Fantastic bastard.
Just shoot something at him then. It’s what I did. He kept shooting fire and stretching his legs so I have choice but to spam my Hadoken. :/
Thats my point all along. No skills or strategy required in fighting games anymore and thats where Smash Bros. comes in. X3
It takes skill to play Tekken too though. I’ve been beating up CPUS on hard and I was destroying my cousins every time they tried to battle me. I thought I was a pro. Then I went online and got my ass kicked. I haven’t been online since. XD
Jump, kick, punch, its a no brainer to figure out the controls. lol
No it isn’t. The game has tons of combos for each character. And those pros usually remember the ones that do the most damage. If you go online with that “jump, kick, and punch” to win strategy, you’re going to get your ass kicked too. XD
Right. I can win easy with simple moves. lol
Alright now. You say that now but… Don’t come crying back to HollowGrapeJ when you get your ass crushed through the floor by that 15 hit combo. XD
Are you referring to another person or yourself in third person for some reason? XD
Stranga… You scared to play Street Fighter cause you keep getting your ass whooped by Dhalism? (The stretchy arm guy) XD
No. I quit playing because all players keep spamming the same fucking moves even when it’s unnecessary.
Well then learn how to spam back. Lol. “Hadoken! Hadoken! Hadoken!” Then wait until the time runs up to see who got the most spam hits. Haha. But trust me. That shit doesn’t work on Bison. He will fuck you up regardless of whether or not you spam. That overpowered bitch… XD
You guys have no idea… Wow… Did you know that there is a HUGE fighing game community(FGC) that play every fighting game(Real fighting games including smash) Street Fighter is all skill based. Do you actually think people would even buy it if it werent? I’ll link you 2 videos watch them and then tell me what you think. The FGC is extremely passionate about it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJPnAbxTD7s
This is the Daigo parry video. It’s the most amazing thing ever…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pS5peqApgUA
Tell me what you think and if this has changed your mind around fighting games :)
Btw, that blue ball attack is the Hadoken. I LOVE spamming that move. XD Anyways, It’s not really that it takes no skill to play. It’s just that it’s really easy to spam moves. Lol.
Exactly. Those fighters have no real strategy or substance anymore. It’s just spamming shit like Activision spamming COD with no substance that only the most pathetic will buy and pretend to enjoy.
Used to whoop some serious not so hard A.I. ass on my Sega Saturn. It had the cd port on the siide. Sick times man.
HUZZAH!
Listen to Atmosphere.
1.2 million…on 3DS…since 2011 launch day…”impressive”? XD
I still love 2 and Turbo 2 the best ;P
If only we could get SF2 HD Remix on Wii U. :/
WHAT THE GOD DAMN FUCK!?!?!?!?!?! FUCKING TOYS R US CANCELED MY CAPTAIN FALCON AMIIBO PRE-ORDER THOSE FUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s messed up, man…
yea lol oh well I’m over it kinda, happy holidays though dude since I prolly won’t be on tomorrow
Thats Toys R Us for you…its been like that since the Donkey Kong Country days.
lol what did they do with DKC?
Yet they still wont release Street Fighter 4 on Wii U….
That shit would sell. The 3ds proved it. Plus the wii u is sorely lacking in fighting games. Ofcourse the fans would gobble that shit up.
100,000 in 3 months? … that’s 400,000 a year … but wait, it was released 3 years ago … so, the recent sales figure doesn’t make much sense to me.
how can the sales momentum be this high? … i think they meant 10,000 no?
No they meant it, I’m assuming the $5 price tag and fighting games the last 6 months recieving a boost (In the form of SSB4 release and MKX Announcement) meant that it could take a little sunlight too. And for $5 well why the fuck not, all I want from a game is 2-5 hours per dollar, could cover that.
Don’t care for Street Fighter. Don’t really care for 2D fighters aside from Smash Bros. The only “fighter” I like is a 3D fighter and it’s called Soul Calibur.
You have very sad and limited tastes.
Clay fighters for Life SONS.
I think thats what it was called anyway.
Street Fighter ALWAYS had good sales on Nintendo consoles. It’s mind boggling that Capcom ignored the MASSIVE demand for Street Fighter IV for Wii back in the day of the first version. Having the Ultra version on the Wii U would significantly boost the sales of the console.
If its for the PC, its not exclusive.
I luv SF IV,fighting may not be everybody’s cup of tea but it doesn’t make it a bad game personally SF4 over smash any time.never understood Capcom not wanted to release in wii u.
I purchased SSF IV for only 10$ plus tax during a sale. It is the best use of 10$ I used on the eshop for me. It isn’t for everyone, but I enjoy fighting games.
I bought this game day one….and realized I don’t care about Street Fighter any more.
