Capcom surprised many when it announced that it would release a PC version of Street Fighter IV. While the PC port of the excellent fighting game sequel was released several months after the console versions, it still got great reviews from critics. However, Capcom has so far not announced plans for a PC port of Super Street Fighter IV, an expansion of the game with a number of new fighters.

However, Capcom has just announced plans for an arcade release of the game in Japan. Why should PC gamers care? Because, as Shacknews points out, Capcom's arcade machines are based on a Windows XP system which would make a PC port of the game pretty simple to develop. So far Capcom has not announced any PC plans for the game. Meanwhile the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions are due out in late April.
