Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX

Street Fighter Alpha 3 E3 2005 Preshow Impressions

Toward the end of its pre-E3 press conference this morning, Capcom showed a brief gameplay video of the previously unannounced PSP version of Street Fighter Alpha 3. The only information that Capcom made a point of sharing with attendees was that the game will boast wireless multiplayer support. That aside, the footage that we saw basically looked a lot like what you'd expect a widescreen version of Street Fighter Alpha 3 to look like, which is to say that it was colorful, fast-paced, and nicely animated.

In case you're not familiar with the arcade, Saturn, Game Boy Advance, PlayStation, or Dreamcast versions of Street Fighter Alpha 3, the game boasts a roster of no fewer than 34 fighters. Four new characters were introduced, and they were: Karin Kanzuki, Rainbow Mika, Juli, and Juni. There were also a number of favorite faces returning to the fray, including Guile, E. Honda, Blanka, Balrog, Dee Jay, and Fei Long.

No release date for the PSP version of Street Fighter Alpha 3 has been announced at this time. We'll bring you more information on the game as soon as it becomes available.
