In response to fan inquiries on Twitter, Street Fighter series executive producer Yoshinori Ono apologized and said that there are not any plans to bring the sport to Wii U, PlayStation 4, or Xbox One.

Ultra Street Fighter IV was announced in this weekend’s EVO Tournament. It’ll be available early next year, and can add new characters and stages as DLC, otherwise you should buy the sport at retail with all of Street Fighter IV’s previous DLC included at the disc. Head here to look the announcement trailer.

so sry, we do not have plan for Wii U now… RT @FrostySphincter: No Wii U? That’s a shame 🙁

Our Take
It’s disappointing, but not surprising to profit that Ultra Street Fighter IV won’t be coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. As we journey into the following-generation, it would be time to begin occupied with Street Fighter V. However, not appearing at the Wii U sounds like it may be somewhat a missed opportunity. It’d be a pleasant treat for Wii U owners who’re awaiting Smash Bros. to have a top quality fighting game at the console. Also, as fighting games catch up with and in the direction of the area of spectator sports, it kind of feels like there can be some interesting innovations to experiment with having yet another screen. Maybe the player could play at the GamePad, while television viewers can have full 360 degree camera control to observe the match, or something along those lines. It makes you wonder whether Capcom felt burned by releasing a 3DS version of Street Fighter IV at launch.
