Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper, please

[ghml]

Please make it happen as an unlockable game, a DLC or as a free update. The game was released for arcades (GDL-0002, Sega NAOMI), so it might not be a big issue to emulate and integrate into this bundle.

I know that the console edition (PS1, Dreamcast and Saturn) may be harder to emulate, but the Upper edition from arcades is good enough, since it includes the extra characters.

It is a shame that a huge collection like this will miss the definitive version of 2D Street Fighter.

I remind that it was included in Street Fighter Alpha Anthology (2006) as a bonus unlockable game. Why not this time?

Alternatively, you may allow Steam Workshop mods and I am sure a member of the community will figure out how to transform Alpha 3 into Alpha 3 Upper.

Actually the better and most updated version of SFA3 is SFA3Max PSP port.

I would love to play that online with people.

I wonder who Capcom is trying to appeal to with this collection. Probably newcomers to the series that are unaware of superior ports that the fans of the series have owned for over a decade now.

Of course! Unfortunately, emulation of PSP is harder to implement in a bundle made only with arcade versions. Alpha 3 Upper, on the other hand, has been released in an arcade version and can use the same emulator of the other 11 games.

Nope, because the alpha 3 upper was released on Sega Naomi and the others were released on CPS1, CPS2 and CPS3 (SF3).
So to emulate every alpha version except the alpha 3 upper they just need to use CPS2 emulators.
TBH they might even be using some emulation based on FBA that doesn't even support Naomi and they might not be inclined to spent time on Dreamcast/Naomi Emulation to support only one game!
Which is really a shame as the PS2 alpha anthology was awesome!

That's sad. SFA3U or SFA3M would be cake top for this collection

Agree with you!
I hope to be wrong and for Cacpom to read the forums and include a more complete version of sfa3.

I really want Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper, I hope Capcom can surprise us or release it later as a free dlc or whatever, I really prefer that version than Alpha 3.

Yep, I guess everyone prefers, since it only adds content.

Is there anywhere in Internet where we can direct speak to Capcom? Like a support forum or else?

Unfortunately no. You'd have better luck contacting the developers "Digital Eclipse" at their website http://www.digitaleclipse.com. Being notoriously lazy though, I'm sure they wouldn't take the time to try to import any rom that wasn't a CPS1,CPS2, or CPS3 file.

Try again kids. Arcade A3 is the only one that matters.

There are two A3 avaiable for arcades: A3 and A3U. They have chosen the worst.

There's two versions of Alpha 3 on the Arcades, the CPS2 Alpha 3 which they chosed and the Naomi Alpha 3 which is the Alpha 3 Upper and is way better!

I don't think emulation is the proper way of stating it but porting the game to PC is since I don't want it to be a GD-ROM dump with X-Input and D-Input support and be done with it! No!!!

I want proper implementation with online capability, training mode and saving features just like we already have with Vanilla Alpha 3.

Don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about Max or it's characters, I want real Arcade Ports.

Note* The Naomi 2 is the one I want. The Dreamcast version was a sprite upscale that ended up messing up the hitbox with animations lost. The Saturn version had the proper animations and framerates with the characters included which was a nice touch.

Capcom should have all binaries/source code to re-compile for PC and make it happen. No need to emulate anything. X-Input/D-Input and everything needed for modern computers and futureproof. All we want is a good SEGA Naomi port of SFA3 Upper.

Also, I understand that Vanilla SFA3 was widespread outside of Japan and that SFA3 Upper came out late when Capcom vs SNK 2 was very popular but please Capcom, please!!! Why not make SFA3 Upper part of the CPT tour and bring old and new players together and discover new stuff that old Vanilla Pro players already know? Make them re-learn a classic!
