After 25 years, a modder finally figured out how to unlock Shin Akuma in Street Fighter: Alpha 2 on the SNES. Learn how here!
shin akuma was lord. I was on alpha 2 on snes all day when i was younger, classic gaming never dies.
"The SNES version was also released in 1996. Since third-party publishers such as Capcom were increasingly concentrating on CD-based consoles, outside of Japan this version was published by Nintendo instead of Capcom.["
Someone didn't read the article.... Alpha 1 and 3 were not on the SNES, Alpha 2 was. I own a copy from a rental store :)
I had it on PS, but it remains tied with 3rd Strike as my favourite SF of all time. Never got the attraction to Alpha 3.

Chief among these is that villains are much cooler and better dressed than boring, do-gooder heroes. Consider the evidence: these good guys who turned bad and became much, much cooler in the process."
...the SNES version?
I hope it's not the SNES version.
if it's the SNES version, it can suck it... I wouldn't buy any of the SNES ports... it's not 1993, we have the horse power, there is no need to port the inferior versions, give us the arcade version.
