When it first hit arcades in 1995, Street Fighter Alpha was a strange and welcome treat--it was a Street Fighter game done in a bright, animated style, with fast-paced battles reminiscent of the Street Fighter II anime movie. While they were fun games, the prequel series (taking place between the original Street Fighter and SFII) hasn't been seen since 2006's Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX.
With Capcom looking back at its library and asking gamers what they want to see in the digital space, a gamer tweeted his desire to see a console release of PSP exclusive SFA3 MAX alongside the upcoming Darkstalkers Resurrection. It drew the attention of Street Fighter series producer Yoshinori Ono, leading to this exchange:
@CSLFiero: "Here's to a hoping a console release of Alpha 3 Max with DS: Resurrection"
@Yoshi_OnoChin: "I have interest in making something for [Alpha] series ;D"
Looks like another great soundtrack for a gaming classics. Fans and collectors will likely be all over them.

Artcade: The Book of Classic Arcade Game Artwork is a masterpiece and belongs on the coffee table of anyone who has ever experienced the joy of walking around an arcade and wondering which game they should drop their quarter into next."
Amazon has put up the product page for the Street Fighter: Cammy (Alpha Costume Version) Bishoujo Statue, revealing several details.
Street Fighter Alpha 3 is my favourite Street Fighter game. But I highly doubt that we will see a new Street Fighter game with sprites because Crapcom already stated that drawing sprites is to expensive these days.
i want capcom vs. snk 3
How about a new Street-Fighter EX game? With today's technology it could be great.
Please Ono..make it happen
I'd much rather have a 2D game than the 3D ones.
