Street Fighter IV Dated for Home Release

February ship dates for console versions confirmed for North America, Europe.

It cost me around 400 yen to beat Seth with Honda the last time I played.

Capcom's Chris Kramer let the dates go this morning, announcing Street Fighter IV's home release via the company's official blog.

North American players will be able to stop punching cars as hard as they can and come inside to play on February 17. Europeans attempting to throw actual fireballs while standing shirtless in a full-length mirror will be able to give up and throw some video game fire as of February 20.

The game will release on both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. A PC version was also announced some time ago, but Capcom is traditionally a bit late with their Windows editions. Also, how crazy is it that a fighting game is coming to the PC? Given Capcom's penchant for digital distribution, that means that people will be downloading Ryu into their homes next year. The future is now, friends.

Sweet. I find myself actually looking forward to this, despite never caring much about SF. If only Tekken kept up with the times.

I can't wait for the PC version, but I'll have to pick up a decent USB arcade joystick to play it.

Street Fighter IV on the PC is pretty perplexing really considering the PC would never be a choice of platform i would expect to see a fighting game released. And this is coming from a die hard fan of the platform. That being said the whole Keyboard setup could make for some interesting ways to pull of combos and generally keep controls tight and such. Either way i'm totally psyched for this games release!

Is this worth picking up if I already have Soul Calibur 4 and plan on picking up Tatsunoko vs Capcom?  I don't feel like i need that many fighters, but the SF series are always great.

Well i have a blue tooth enabled hori stick that i will use with the PC version actually, i dont see myself playing that game with a regular controller. I doubt that those who buy it for pc all have some sort of hori stick waiting for this game.

And this just might be the game that makes me finally break down and buy a damn PS3 or XBox (I still haven't decided which).

Not sure why everyone is so baffled by the PC getting a fighting game.  It's had fighting games before and it has plenty of them now as well.  Not to mention that it can also play all the fighting games from older systems and the arcade classics with emulation (or GameTap, if you prefer a legal method).  The PC is a versatile platform and once you pick up an arcade stick, it's a great way to play fighting games, especially online.

Man I don't even play fighting games (with rare exceptions) and I can't wait to get my hands on some SF4. Maybe THIS will finally be the game to get me super serious into a fighting game?

Wowzer, I got those dates a week ago, but it's great to have them confirmed officially.

Oni, it's tailored to players like you also, so perhaps it will.

Awesome, but now I have to go find a good arcade stick for the 360, cause I'm not dealing with the god damn d-pad on the 360 controller.

I read in some forum post that SSF:HD is coming out on the 27th, but I can't find the proof.
