Street Fighter Fit/Exercise A Possibility, "Cut Calories With Chun-Li" & "Zangief: How I Lost Eight Stone In Three Weeks" DVDs Likely To Follow

Let's cut to the chase - Super Street Fighter IV's producer Yoshinori Ono has revealed that, while future games in the main-line Street Fighter franchise won't include motion controls, exercise spin-off games "could be a possibility"

"I Was Able To Feel Comfortable On The Beach Thanks To The Weight I Lost Playing Street Fighter Fit."

The Street Fighter man notes a "lower barrier entry" as an incentive to bring new players to the Street Fighter franchise.

Ono told VideoGamer:

Ive been interested in motion-sensing for a while, ever since Wii was launched, he said.

But I dont think it fits the way Street Fighter is played at the moment. It does broaden the appeal to casual users simply because of the instinctive controls, but it just doesnt quite fit an intricately balanced game such as Street Fighter.

Now, there is a possibility of doing something called Street Fighter Fit, or Street Fighter Exercise, that is more suited for motion-sensing games, but that would obviously be a slightly different-themed game.

So what we would like to do is lower the entry barrier for those who have never played the fighting genre before so we can convey that fighting games are a good tool, a good fun thing to have per family. Thats what Ill be thinking about in the next few months.

We're guessing this is some kind of sarcasm on Yoshinori's part. At least that's what we're hoping. Though we wouldn't mind a Chun-Li fitness DVD. So long as Kristin Kreuk retained her role as thunder thighs.
