Just revealed by a press demo of the game, Super Street Fighter IV 3D will have a regular control option in addition to a more simplified option for casual gamers. No word on exactly the differences between the styles, but I could expect it would be something like the difference between Mario Kart Wii‘s control options or Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

IT’S PARTY TIME FOR YOU, Mii, EVERYBODY
Social Gaming Leaps Off the Screen and Into Players’ Homes with Wii Party
Grab your Mii and your Wii Remote and call your friends and family – party time is here as Nintendo launches the fun packed Wii Party on Wii across Europe this Friday 8th October.
Playing with up to four Wii Remotes, Wii Party brings more than 80 inventive and wild mini-games into your home and features your very own personalised Mii Character at the heart of the action like never before. Over 180 million Mii characters have been created across 6 pan-European countries and the U.S since they launched in 2006 and now you can see yourself compete and co-operate in 13 different game modes. And for the first time, there’s some hilarious action away from the television screen itself as the House Party mode turns your living room into a pivotal part of the game play turning any social gathering into a laugh-filled celebration.
Back in April, Capcom stated that they making titles that had yet to be announced for the Wii. While we have heard about a number of new DS/3DS games, news has been quiet for Nintendo’s home console. So, what about those Wii projects? Well, according to Capcom’s Christian Svensson, they’re still in development, but fans will have to wait a bit longer.
“My statement is still factually correct (though no guarantees it’s what’ you’re specifically looking for). You will have to wait.”
