With so much fanfare surrounding the recently released Super Street Fighter IV on the 3DS, We thought it as good a time as any to go back and review what we still believe to be the finest handheld 2D fighter (or 3D for that matter) of all time.
Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max is not only a perfect port of the arcade original but it even manages to outdo the all but faultless Dreamcast port by adding even more features and modes to a game that was already bursting at the seems.
Carl Williams writes, "It is not like Capcom to simply release a fighting game and not milk it somehow. We saw this with Street Fighter II which has many updates, all of which were additional full purchases, on Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis. Maybe they realized fans were not going to go for that forever by the time they got around to releasing the “Alpha” series of games. Street Fighter Alpha 3 is the final game in the Alpha series and it seems that Capcom went all out for it."
A remaster of this on next gen, just up the res and keep the gameplay = money. Capcom likes money.

Phuthermarian Descendent (spelling is off) from Bloodborne. F that guy - the last boss of the main game is a joke compared to him.
the last boss in zelda the minish cap lol i could pull out all of my hair playing fighting that last boss
Alma from NG isn't that hard imo. Usually fighting game bosses are pain. They always an inhuman with crazy azz power or giant spamming azz. Kof12, battle fantasia, chaos code etc... even virtua fighter has an inhuman boss.
Man I'm trying to remember. I think Omega Weapon is the one at the bottom of swirling set of steps where even the No Encounter skill doesn't work and your forced to go all the way down fighting everything before you get to him. That game is one of my all time favorites. I would love a remake.

So I have been gaming for... a long time now. I have had most consoles over the years at one point or the other, but one of the few I had day one was the original Sony PlayStation. Why is this significant? Because the system is celebrating its twenty year anniversary this week (technically yesterday here in North America). I absolutely loved this system and put together a lot of my fondest video gaming memories playing it. So, to celebrate twenty years, I am listing out my top twenty games today.
Dark Ressurection and Tekken 6 may want to have a word with you. However, no doubt SFA3 max for the PSP is the best version of the game in existence minus online play. Haven't tried the 3DS SSF4 yet but max is an exact port with backgrounds and all so I guess you have to give it the nod. Dark Ressurection is right up there though and plays really well on the PSP to boot.
