Street Fighter Alpha 3 is a perfect addition to a GBA collection. If you can get past the painful setup for controls, you'll be fine. Plus Yun, Maki, and Eagle made it from Capcom vs. SNK 2 in the same forms!! This is perfectly the best fighter for any handheld. Don't be a baby just because you [can't master]the moves. Ain't my problem

This game rocks!

The minuite I picked up this game I wuz hooked. The special moves are a bit hard to pull off, but amazing when u manage it. Final Bison is reeealy hard to beat, but the sweet ending movies make up for it. If you liked Turbo Revival you'll love it!

Ha-do-can't!

Long before I bought the Nintendo DS, I already resolved to get a Game Boy Advance game to test the system's backwards compatibility. And one title has always been first on my list. From Capcom's classic fighting series, "Street Fighter Alpha 3" for the GBA is probably one of the best fighting games for a system that, ironically, just wasn't built for fighting games.

Though graphics and features alone don't make a video game, it's amazing that so much (perhaps too much) was stuffed into one little cartridge. While some sacrifices had to be made (the announcer's gone and the music's average at best), the graphics are pretty close to what you'd find in console versions of the game. You also get to choose from a whopping 30 characters (including 3 hidden characters from "Capcom vs. SNK"), with all their special moves, super moves, and "ISM" fighting styles intact. The game also has 6 playing modes to keep you busy (half of which are unlockables but hey, that's what cheat codes are for). And best of all, the game's battery backup saves everything.

The game's most obvious drawback is, of course, the controls. As frustrating as it is to perform Ryu's Hadoken fireball with a D-pad and an awkward 4-button layout, the developers did all they could given the hardware. But sometimes even the easiest attacks can take half a beat to perform. And "SFA 3's" single mode might as well be its story mode; if you choose a new character while you're on a roll with another, you're forced to start from scratch.

In spite of the kinks, "SFA 3" is still a sweet setup for the GBA. But simplified controls would have made it perfect. Of course, if you got to have Street Fighter on the go, you can either make due with this or play "SFA3 MAX" with the PSP's control nub. Either way, your thumbs will get quite a workout.

This game is rated T for Teen: Violence.

Slashed and burned

First of all, any game with Cammy in it is worth having. But it's a real shame that all the great storylines from the original version were almost entirely cut out. I was hoping for more (not less!) after Capcom created new storylines for SSF2TR. And some of the best stages were nixed too. The graphics are good, and the gameplay is okay once you get used to the awkward button scheme. The 3 new characters make it kinda interesting, but that wasn't enough to make-up for all that was lost.

a great fighter

I like this game because there are many ways to control the fighters, and the fighters look good. Lots of action. Every fighter has his/her own style. Instantly playable, yet with many levls of complexity. Be sure to look for the spectators watching the fights. Great game. What a blast.

the games translates very well from console to handheld. all moves come over intact and graphics aren't too noticably scaled down. the only think i've noticed is that it is hared at times to do a combo correctly when the directional pad is smaller. that isn't a problem with the game though, just the gameboy. you may find it easier to use an older gameboy instead of an sp though.

Great Game on the go!!!!!!!!!

This is a very close port of the original SFA3 arcade game. The game really shows off the power of the GBA pretty well. The fighters move smoothly and all the little subtle animations are there too. Overall I was blown away at how good this looked on the GBA. The controls are a little hard to pull off but you do get used to it, I just forget about doing certain moves that are too hard and stick to the easy ones. Overall I would recomend this game if your a HARDCORE fighting game fan and need your fighting fix on the go!!!

Based on the Dreamcast version . . .

I've played the Dreamcast, PSX, and Arcade versions of this game, and it is THE 2-D fighting game by which all others should be compared. This game essentially has everything the Dreamcast version has, including 3 new characters from Capcom vs. SNK 2. Capcom did great with Super Street Fighter II Turbo Revival for the GBA, and I trust this will not disappoint either.

Though I have yet to play the game, I have seen videos of it - the animation is smooth and the graphics are honestly comparable to the Dreamcast version. And the best part is . . . it's portable!!!

This is a must have for any Street Fighter fan, and quite frankly, for any Gameboy gamer!
