The latest post on Capcom staffer Brian Dunn’s blog touches on an unfortunate downside regarding the HD-ifying of Street Fighter.

One thing I brought up with him earlier today was the 16:9 versus 4:3 concerns that have been coming up, because I wanted to have a response to share with you. Basically he is well aware that HD means widescreen, and he is well aware that taking a 4:3 game and increasing the width of the playing field would greatly change the dynamics of the game. Rey is currently working on options to address this, including having some sort of artwork or something fill in the side bars left by having the 4:3 play screen in the middle of the widescreen area. So that’s currently under evaluation, and it definitely won’t change the gameplay in a negative way.

Here’s a crazy idea, Capcom - how about giving the user the choice between a wider playing field and side bars?
