Oh, how the game industry loves its announcements of announcements. Listen up, Windows gamers -- we know you're waiting on tenterhooks for the release date of the triumphant Street Fighter IV on PC. This one's for you.

Over at the official Japanese Street Fighter IV blog, project manager Natsuki Shiozawa made a casual announcement in a post about the game's upcoming Championship Mode features: The release date of the PC version will be revealed May 1. Shiozawa even ventured, "the game will be out this summer, before it gets super hot!"

Super hot? In Japan, that probably means pre-August. Better invest in a quality stick or pad, PC people... in a few short months, you too will be able to indulge in Super Dynamic Cooking Time.
