Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition is more than just a simple port of the venerable fighting franchise. Several aspects of the game have been carefully tweaked to fit within the smaller confines of the 3DS, resulting in a fighting experience that feels every bit as impressive as its console...

Touch-screen controls are inviting for newcomers; Fantastic art and character design; Rich battles that reward skill; not button mashing; Lots of multiplayer options; Collecting figurines in StreetPass is addictive

No online leaderboards or tournament mode; Using the shoulder buttons for combos can be tricky

A bit too hard to perform some combos and disappointing at graphics and storyline on the Arcade mode. Apart from this, great game with tons of characters.

Tons of fun, for any fighting game fan. Just understand street fighter gets updated versions all the time, so you may need to pay even more if you intend on getting the newest experience.

So here we are. Ultras (the explosive super moves available to each character) have been toned down. While they are still glorious game-changers –swinging a match in your favour with a successful hit-they're no longer so overpowered so that bouts are skewed on their success.

A bunch of minor improvements and additions don't add enough in the way of value, but realistically it's still probably the best fighting game out there.

Some positive changes made to the core game, new characters, modes, stages; Good value if you don't have the original

If you do have the original, it's not such value for money; Still need arcade sticks

Super Street Fighter IV is not just some money-grubbing upgrade, it's a revamp and re-energisation of a fantastic game. Must buy for anyone even considering it.

What you have essentially got with Super Street Fighter IV is a more balanced Street Fighter game that represents the pinnacle of the franchise's glittering career.

A handful of new environments have been added to the mix and give you the chance to exchange your flurry of punches and kicks in a busy marketplace, atop a Metro City skyscraper construction site, and beside a river in an African landscape during a solar eclipse.

Gorgeous character models; animations; and background art; Accessible but nuanced gameplay; Excellent competitive and social multiplayer modes; Video replay is a great way to share fights with friends; Better than last year's game at two-thirds of the price

Still no tournament mode; Online play suffers if either fighter's connection is slow; Video replay system could be simpler to use

Capcom's most popular fighting game franchise is known for two main reasons. Great gameplay and frequent revisions. Street Fighter IV hit consoles just over a year ago and revitalized the fighting game genre to an unprecedented level. After a near 10 year hiatus, Street Fighter was relevant again.

If Street Fighter IV is an ice cream vendor selling me vanilla for $6 after I asked for cookies ‘n cream, then Super Street Fighter IV is the ice cream vendor selling me cookies ‘n cream for $4 right after I've just eaten the blasted vanilla.
