Speaking to X-Play, producer Yoshi Ono spoke about his work on Street Fighter IV. When asked about the U.S. release of the fighting game, he confirmed a "winter" target for this title in North America.

"There is no official North American arcade release, so we kind of feel bad that you guys have to wait for it," said 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."

Street Fighter IV is set for release on PS3, PC and Xbox 360.
