Street Fighter IV Dragon Punching Its Way to the iPhone

By Gary Eng Walk | February 16, 2010 | +

Capcom just announced that it’s porting over its Street Fighter IV fighting game to the iPhone and iPod Touch. Coming out in March, the game employs a touchscreen virtual d-pad to control the characters’ movements. I haven’t played this version of SF4 yet but I can only imagine how hard it’s going to be to pull off some of Street Fighter’s special moves. It’s conceivable I’ll be able to perform a basic hadouken fireball. Anything more complicated, e.g. Ryu’s signature shoryuken dragon punch uppercut, is going to be next to impossible for me to perform on the iPhone’s small screen.

Review: Soulo Converts iPad into Karaoke Machine

Karaoke lovers typically fall into two categories: Those who enjoy it, and those whose arms have to be twisted to get up and sing in public. Enter Soulo, a software and microphone kit that can turn an iPad or other Apple device into a karaoke machine. It gives you instant karaoke in the privacy of your own home, or wherever you carry your Apple gadgets. That’s the idea, anyway.

no, uppercuts aren’t that difficult actually and it had me hooked for almost a month. That is until I pick up Bruce Lee. Thoroughly trounces SF4. I haven’t seen many reviews of it but check the comments on itunes … awesome.
