This is what Street Fighter IV looks like with motion controls

Steam Controller Like most people it seems, I think that theSteam Controllerhas potential, but it just hasn’t been realized yet.

ConstableBento ended up giving it a go with his expertise in tow, and was able to pull off both hadouken and shoryuken motions with it. It’s a very short little clip but it gets the job done, and shows off the controller’s potential to encroach and improve upon on just about every genre there is....

We’ve heard of recent ports getting a sort of renewed vigor when they launch on Switch, but this is something else entirely.

Speaking to Ninty Gamer, a rep noted that after an “opportunity for [a] Switch port arose in late 2018,” they partnered with Monster Couch, who would help them port to the system....
