Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition will be part of the 3DS launch lineup.

Nintendo and Capcom today confirmed that they have entered into a distribution agreement for the forthcoming game Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition for the new Nintendo 3DS handheld.

Under the terms of the agreement Nintendo will be responsible for the sales, marketing and distribution of the game throughout European territories & Australia, with Capcom remaining as publisher. Capcom will remain as the distributor in the Middle East.

Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition will be part of the launch window line up for the Nintendo 3DS when the system launches across Europe and North America in late March.

Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition includes 35 playable characters, bonus stages and cinematic ultra combos, and online multiplayer support using the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service.

New to the franchise is the Figurine Mode, which utilises the StreetPass feature of the Nintendo 3DS system, to add a collectible meta-game, and the 3D over-the-shoulder camera option. For those new to the series, a simple mode has been added allowing players to pull off challenging moves with a single touch of the screen.
