Street Fighter release date… what is this 1990?
Street Fighter IV will launch for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on February 17. European gamers will get their hands on the game three days later on February 20. The game has been available in Japanese arcades since July, with a few cabinets popping up in various US coin-ops since August.
Street Fighter IV is both a departure from and a return to the series’ roots. The game eschews the franchise’s classic 2D fighting formula in favor of stylized 3D visuals, but the roster of characters includes the entire original cast of Capcom’s Street Fighter II, as well as a number of new additions.
