Street Fighter Zero 3

Street Fighter Zero 3 (Street Fighter Alpha 3 in the West, which is not compatible with Sony PocketStation) was initially ported from the Arcade in 1998 to the PlayStation. This version replaced the “hit” sprites with “hit” polygons in order to focus more memory on character animations. Juli, Juni, and Balrog were added to the immediate regular roster, and they were given new character portraits and their own storylines. Dee Jay, Fei Long, and T. Hawk (the remaining “New Challengers” from Super Street Fighter II) were also included to the roster. Evil Ryu, Guile, and Shin Akuma were also added as secret unlockable characters in the World Tour mode, a mode that allows the player to strengthen and customize their chosen character’s fighting style while traveling around the world.

An additional feature in the Japanese version also made use of the PocketStation peripheral, which allows the player to build up their character’s strength.
