Finally, a definite release date for the console versions of Street Fighter 4 has been announced. It’s coming out in North America on February 17, 2009 and in Europe three days later.

The PS3 and Xbox 360 versions will be available on that day; a PC version is in the works and will be released at a later time following Capcom’s policy of delaying PC games to combat piracy.

Latest in the long running series, the game will feature a rather large roster including both old characters and newcomers alike. It is already available in Japanese arcades.
