There will be no need to import Street Fighter IV. Like Japan, the rest of the world will get Street Fighter IV in February. Capcom will release the PS3/Xbox 360 version in North America on February 17 and in Europe on February 20. Street Fighter IV is supposed to have a voice selection feature too [...]
