Street Fighter Alpha 3 rated by ESRB, listed for PS3 photo

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?

[Thanks, Brigham]

Wish it were the PSP version as it has everything the original PSX version had plus was more accurate to the arcade version. Actually I take that back, I wish they had made it specifically for PSN/XBLA with the features from the PSP version included. God damn lazy ass Capcom. Can't even give us a version with online play.

PSN doesn't have an enormous library of titles like XBLA or VC/WiiWare so its nice to see that stuff comes out on it...and when it does its usually pretty good.

That said, if I owned a PS3 I would probably buy it. I've played the original all of...twice and it's pretty damn good but never owned a copy or known anyone who did that I could play with on a regular basis.
