The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A near-arcade-perfect fighter that feels snappy, immediate, and built for head-to-head intensity.

About

Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX is a near-faithful port of the arcade version with minimal loading times and all frames and sprites intact. All the additional characters from the GBA version as well as Ingrid from Capcom Fighting Evolution are present. The added characters now feature their own in-game storylines and endings. The Dramatic Battle mode in this version is the only one where both the player and partner characters can be selected individually, allowing for any character pairing. It also includes the Reverse Dramatic Battle mode from the Saturn version and an exclusive tag mode called Variable Battle.
