A week ago today we saw some screenshots from the forthcoming iPhone version of Capcom’s Street Fighter IV and although they looked faithful enough to the arcade and console versions, the control system was a question mark and there was no word when it would actually be released.

Today though, the lucky folk at gamepro.com got a chance to play the game and in addition to finding out some more details, took the opportunity to shoot a video too.

The release is scheduled for March and the price has been set at $9.99, so it had better be good.  There will be eight characters featured in the game, with old faithful’s Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Blanka, Guile, M.Bison and Dhalsim joining the more recent character of Abel.  This initial set could potentially be joined by add-on character packs containing some of the newer characters, of course.

From what we can see in the video the controls look quite good, as we can forgive fluffed special moves on account of this probably being the first time the person playing has done so on a touchscreen!  Seeing as they still pull off a few and go on to win, this can be taken as a good sign.  Take a look for yourselves and let us know your thoughts.
