Nintendo to distribute SSFIV 3D

Nintendo has confirmed that it will assume distribution, sales and marketing duties for Capcom’s upcoming 3DS fighting title Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition in Europe and Australia.

Capcom remains the game’s publisher and will also retain distribution duties in the Middle East.

The deal is very much the norm for Capcom games on Nintendo platforms in Europe, with similar agreements having been reached over previous titles such as Phoenix Wright, Resident Evil 4, Zack & Wiki and Monster Hunter.

The game is expected out some time in what Nintendo is referring to as the 3DS launch window – from the end of March until June.
