Capcom has been putting more and more effort into its PC game line-up but few expected that one of their most anticipated games, Street Fighter IV, would be released for our platform. Simply put, fighting games just don't appear on the PC. So we got excited when we first learned that Capcom's long awaited 3D (with 2D backgrounds) revamp of the Street Fighter series would be on a PC hard drive.

Now Capcom has launched their official Street Fighter web site to help promote the game along with a truckload of new screenshots. More importantly, the site linked to the Gamestop web site that offers pre-orders of the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions with a ship date of Feb. 3, 2009. Now naturally release dates for games can (and usually do) change and both the official game site and the Gamestop pre-order page don't even mention the PC version. But at least there's some kind of road-map we can use to guage when we can expect Street Fighter IV to appear.
