Capcom has thrown a couple of release-date-related hadokens in the direction of G4, confirming that the super-mental Street Fighter IV will be mashing up your PlayStation 3 this winter. Providing you inhabit the Land of the Free, that is. No, not Greenland. North America.
"There is no official North American arcade release, so we kind of feel bad that you guys have to wait for it," commented the game's producer, Yoshinori Ono. "That's why we're trying to get it to you as soon as possible. Before the Japanese have a really long period of time to get really good at it first and totally kick your butt online."
"We don't want to start rumors that it's this year, but definitely this winter. At some point you'll be sitting in you winter coat looking at snow out the window…and right then we'll kind of heat you up a little with some hot street fighter action so look forward to that."
We're not sure about the last bit, Yoshi - isn't that called breaking and entering?
Street Fighter IV is already out in Japanese arcades, where it has attracted considerable acclaim. The home format versions will also support online play.
