Good old Capcom, never short of a re-release for we notalgia-driven nerds to lap up like faithful dogs. Street Fighter Alpha 3 looks like it’ll be the latest from Capcom’s expansive back catalog to be dusted down and thrown to the wolves, with the ESRB re-rating the title for a PlayStation 3 release.
When Capcom decided to port Alpha 2 to the PSN, it confused a number of people, and they questioned why the superior Alpha 3 was not released instead. Here’s what community member Stafax had to say on the matter:
WTF why Alpha 2? That’s so completely random. Why wont they take the version of Alpha 3 that’s on the PSP and shovel it over to the PSN?
Silly Stafax. Capcom will shovel the PSP game over to PSN, but why just do that when it could re-release two games instead of one? Really, we should have seen this coming the moment Alpha 2 was announced. It’s quite funny that this news comes on the day I talked about how excited people get for remakes and how Capcom, among others, exploit such excitement.
Show of hands: Who will buy this?
