Street Fighter IV was created in 2008 by Capcom.  The arcade was released in July 2008 and the machines began import in North America around August 2008.  The console versions were created in February 2009 and now it has been announced that there are PC versions on the way.

In most cases, popular arcade games are not given release dates for PC versions, but this is the first time Capcom made a release date for the port.

The PC version of the game will even get extra features.  Some of the new features include “new special moves” and new shaders to mirror the aesthetics of trailers in the game.  The new shaders include sumi-e ink, posterization, and watercolor.  Capcom’s Bionic Commando game will arrive for the PC in July, but Resident Evil 5 will arrive on computer screens later this year.

Capcom Co. is having a great week.  Last week The Legend of Chun Li hit theaters and Street Fighter IV has shipped 2 million units across the world for the Xbox 360 and PS3.  It is not yet known how many units were actually sold, but it is expected to do very well judging by the hype.  Street Fighter IV has been released in North America, Europe, and Japan.  A PC version should be coming in June.

The first Street Fighter game was introduced in 1987.  The second Street Fighter game was a smashing success in 1991.  “The series revolutionized combat systems in games, and established the fighting game genre. Since then, Street Fighter has been a global hit, selling over 500,000 arcade machines and 27 million console games,” stated Capcom.
