Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition - Includes Over The Shoulder Combat View

Japanese site 4Gamer appears to have found the"surprising" functionalitythat Ono-san may have been referring to a couple of weeks back.

While attending the recent Nintendo Conference in Chiba, 4Gamer reporters were allowed some hands-on time with the 3D Edition of Super Street, which is when they discovered the new feature. The site reports that the game's demo started off by having players select to turn the 3D effect on or off. The writer selected "on" and was surprised to find that the action takes place from a behind-the-shoulder view of your character. "It's like a different game" was the impression of the writer, who'd originally been expecting the 3D option to merely add depth to the standard view.The 4gamer reporter didn't mind the switch in perspective - the commands operate like normal, and the camera sticks to the character's back regardless of how harsh the movements are.

Capcom has yet to confirm this feature, but a snippet of Japanese TV footage does:

I hope you have the option to choose between the standard and over-the-shoulder view, though.

It's optional and works fine by all accounts.

That over-the-shoulder view suits the small screen very well. I like it.

I'm really excited for this, and I'm not generally a fighting game fan.

Well that's all it is really, although it's still pretty radical for a series that has primarily traded itself as 2D fighter, to mix things up like this.
