Gamespot is reporting that the home console version of Street Fighter IV will be appearing sometime in February 2009 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3… in Japan.
While Capcom fighting fans will get a chance to go hands-on with the Turbo HD Remix edition of Super Street Fighter II later this month, that’s just a warm-up for next year’s main event: the home version release of Street Fighter IV. The publisher today gave a newly narrowed release window for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game, in Japan at least. (The PC version’s launch window is still to be announced.)
As reported by Dengeki, Capcom used its Grand Battle Festival at the Shinagawa Intercity Hall to reveal that Street Fighter IV would be available for Japanese consoles in February. More than a straight arcade port, the home version of the game will include a boosted roster of playable characters, including Sakura, Akuma, Gouken, Seth, and the return of vintage fighters Fei Long and Dan.
C’mon, Capcom. Bring some Street Fighter goodness to North America, and we don’t mean II Turbo HD Remix.
