I wrote a full review of Super Street Fighter IV 3DS for Game People that you can read here.<\/a> Whilst I was writing it a few rhyming lines appeared on the page, so I extracted them and built this poem, it seemed a pity for it to go to waste, the last two lines are my favourite. <\/p>\n

Super Street Fighter IV 3DS
\nBy Ian Hughes\/epredator
\ninspired by Plan B at the London launch party<\/p>\n

Ryu shouts Hadoken,
\nFiring energy again,
\nLenticular 3d,
\nPowers the graphics engine.<\/p>\n

The 3DS from Ninty,
\nShows a cool new way,
\nTo punch kick and block,
\nMaking enemies sway.<\/p>\n

Launch Manga ultra combos,
\nIn the stunning 3d layers,
\nTouchpad assist buttons,
\nHelp novice players.<\/p>\n

Challenge the arcade,
\nOr random 3DS out there,
\nBuilt-in wi-fi signals,
\nConnect combatants everywhere.<\/p>\n

Figure Points are earned,
\nAnd spent on a team,
\nOf fantasy Street Fighters,
\nKept in your data stream.<\/p>\n

Called StreetPass,
\nIt\u2019s a new gaming feature,
\nThat delivers your team,
\nTo anyone in 30 metres.<\/p>\n

It happens when your 3DS,
\nIs in a state of sleep,
\nWin a numbers battle,
\nMore Figure Points you reap. <\/p>\n

The characters are funny
\nEl Fuerte screams his challenge out,
\n\u201cIt\u2019s Super Dynamic Cooking Time!\u201d
\nThat\u2019s serious comedy clout. <\/p>\n

A launch title for the handheld,
\nDelivers a bag of tricks,
\nNo headaches here just nose bleeds.
\nFrom Chun Li\u2019s lightning kicks. <\/p>\n
