CVG- Street Fighter Alpha 3: How it saved the 90s

You're eleven years old, crowding around a Street Fighter II arcade cabinet while bigger boys hog the machine. You're thirteen, saving every penny for a SNES import converter to play that chunky USA Street Fighter II Turbo cartridge early. You're sixteen, putting aside your precious PlayStation and playing Street Fighter Alpha 2 on a friend's Saturn with the best controller ever. You're eighteen, leaving your sixth form's sociology lesson empty and calling in to work on a sickie because Street Fighter Alpha 3 is here and you have to Triumph or Die.

For me it was all about the Battle Arena Toshinden series. Wish they reboot that series.

Street Fighter Alpha 3 Flawlessly Ends Trilogy of Arcade Games

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.

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.

20 years of PlayStation - top 20 games (Part 1)

Chalgyr's Game Room writes:

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.
