SSFIV features unpopular Wii system.
Nintendo’s 3DS is sticking with the DS and Wii’s cumbersome Friend Codes online matchmaking system, if early impressions of Capcom’s Street Fighter IV 3D Edition are to be believed.
According to a preview of the portable brawler featured in Japanese games mag Famitsu, as translated by Andriasang, you’ll need to trade Friend Codes if you want to challenge buddies online.
There are also options for anonymous matchings via “Quick Match” and “Custom Match” features.
