After delaying a few games into less-specific release windows during some financial reporting earlier this month, Capcom has nailed down a few dates and windows for some of its upcoming products.

Super Street Fighter IV will hit on April 27 in North America and April 30 in Europe. A collector's edition of the game is planned, at least for Japan, which is said to at least contain a soundtrack and a trailer collection.

Lost Planet 2 is due on May 18. According to Kotaku, Capcom's Japanese event--which teased some sort of collaboration with Microsoft--revealed that Marcus Fenix and other characters from the Gears of War universe would make an appearance in the Xbox 360 version of the game.

Monster Hunter Tri is on for April in both North America and Europe, with retailers reporting a more-specific date of April 6. The game will be released in a bundle with the black version of the Classic Controller Pro for $59.99. Both the game and the controller will also be available separately.

'What do you mean I can't pre-order Monster Hunter Frontier? Don't you know who I am?'

Final Fight: Double Impact, the downloadable collection of both Final Fight and Magic Sword, is listed as a Spring release for both PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade.

Also out of Japan, Capcom confirmed that Monster Hunter Frontier, which had previously appeared on the PC, would also be making its way to the Xbox 360, but that's still only for the Japanese market. No North American plans for that have been announced. Don't hold your breath.

Gears of War in MY Lost Planet 2?  It's more likely than you think.

Threre's a Monster Hunter MMO? God help us. 
 
Anyways, April 27, that's fairly soon! Get hyped. That's what the kids are saying nowadays right? That Gears stuff in Lost Planet 2 looks really weird.

SSFIV - Worst box art I've seen in a LOOOONG time.

you forgot about Afro Samurai being in SSF4

A Japan-only release for the 360? That's... odd.
Driadonon Jan. 26, 2010 at 11:39 a.m.
April is going to be tough on my wallet: SSF4 AND MH3? /cries

also considering it is just a port of a 2007 game with and subscription fee, I don't expect this to go well.
nanikoreon Jan. 26, 2010 at 11:45 a.m.
That's terrible box art.
ez123on Jan. 26, 2010 at 11:49 a.m.
No matter how many Gears characters they put in Lost Planet, it's never going to be as big or as good.
sixpinon Jan. 26, 2010 at 11:52 a.m.
  Yeah, that SSFIV box art is garbage.

The game is pretty cool, they have the 'you can play for free until a certain point' style. It'd be great if an updated version of the game came out over here.

WHY THE FUCK WON'T CAPCOM RELEASE MONSTER HUNTER ON A SYSTEM WITH DECENT ONLINE CAPABILITIES IN AMERICA.

I love how awful the SSFIV box-art looks.

Sorry Street Fighter but the only game that exists to me on that date is Red Dead Redemption. You missed out on that one, Capcom.
