Confirmed: Street Fighter IV hits consoles, PC
A few days ago we reported a rumor that cited Street Fighter IV as an upcoming Xbox 360, PS3 and PC release--well they are rumors-no-more. Last night Capcom confirmed [via IGN] that the 2/3D fighter hybrid will land on next generation consoles as well as Windows-based PCs, continuing the company's recent support of the platform (as in Devil May Cry 4 and Lost Planet PC releases). More details regarding the title is expected at the upcoming Captivate08 event in Las Vegas. Press email after the jump.

Must get this on PS3 as 360 D-pad = Shit.
Sorry 360, I love you so but your D-Pad.....I'm so sorry.

Agree.
But since I have no PS3 yet, PC it is :(

Any D-pad that isn't on a Nintendo controller = shit

Buy an arcade stick. It's the way the game is meant to be played anyways. Unless you plan to use shortcut keys, which are a couple of steps away from being suitable for the Wii so that grandma can play too.

I can't stand the segmented d-pad on PlayStation controllers either so for me they both suck for this sort of thing.
I'd rather just buy one of those Hori fighting sticks and be done with it.

Man...can't wait! This is going to be great!
Its strange to see them coming out on PC all of a sudden. Capcom titles that is. But that is actually good news for PC fans, since many companies seem to be pulling support for PCs.

Hmmm, Street Fighter on a PC just seems wrong somehow. Just like Starcraft on a console seems wrong to me.

Am I the only one the feels underwhelmed by this. I mean I like Street Fighter just as much as the next dude but come on. I've seen the screens/videos...this should be a budget title. Is this going to be full price?

I don't get it? Was there any doubt about it actually coming out on the Consoles?? I mean they want to make money right?

Well the PC release was the shocker.
