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.

I'm so pumped for this game. On PC!!!!!Posted at 4:44AM on Jun 2nd 2008 by ticklefist

I'm not a big fighting game fan myself but the more multiplatform games the better. Gamers win, developers win, publishers win, and hardware manufacturers win.

I'm very happy that this is coming to the PC. I'm actually one of the few people on earth who doesn't have fast access to a current gen console. It will also very interesting to see how this turns out, since Capcom will have practically no competition in fighting games for the PC.Posted at 7:55PM on Jun 2nd 2008 by Steven Wong
