Street Fighter III: Triple Threat
Well, it's finally here. Only about three months after it was supposed to come out, but I can promise that the wait was worth it. This is Street Fighter III: Triple Threat, a compilation of all the Street Fighter III games; New Generation, 2nd Impact: Giant Attack and Third Strike. But that's not all, of course. This disc also includes all of the bonus artwork from 2011's Street Fighter III: Third Strike Online Edition for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. There are also move lists specific to each of the different games for each character, a how-to-play guide for people who are new to this game or the Street Fighter franchise (and it'll be needed, Street Fighter III is perhaps the most technical fighting game released). There are also saves for all of the games that unlock Gill in New Generation, Gill and Akuma in 2nd Impact and unlock Gill in Third Strike. Note that the saves change the default settings for the game (time limits, etc). I'd recommend going into the options menu and restoring the game to default. The Third Strike game save is compatible with RDC's Third Strike Arcade Edition release.
The game is built around the XDP web browser. If you want to go back while you're viewing character art or anything
else, hold down X and press left or right on the d-pad. This acts as a back/forward button.Character move lists are in the menu for each respective game. To access the how-to-play information, art galleries and game saves, they're under the extras section in the main menu. The in-game exit buttons in New Generation and 2nd Impact will take you back to the main menu and allow you to select another game. If you want to return to the main menu from Third Strike, you'll have to execute the tricky Start+A+B+X+Y+L+R reset, so you're probably better off just resetting your Dreamcast.
We're particularly proud of this release; hopefully any future compilation discs released by us or other groups will follow a similar template in regards to content. A lot of time has been put into getting this release to what it is, and hopefully it has the retail quality that was strived for. Enjoy our 50th release; it's certainly a landmark, and we aren't done yet.
FAQQ: Why isn't the version of Third Strike here the Third Strike Arcade Edition version previously released by RDC?
A: Think of this disc as a companion piece to Arcade Edition. Just like Double Impact compiled the "irrelevant" versions of Street Fighter III alongside Third Strike. This disc will be a good place to learn the ropes of the game. The changes in the Arcade Edition aren't things that a casual or beginner player would miss. Besides that, the Arcade Edition music was a much higher bitrate even though the music is of a lower quality. To fit on this disc, the music would need to be downsampled, and this isn't something that should be done considering the original state of the music quality.
Q: Why are some of the moves their translated names instead of the originals?
A: If you noticed this, why are you using the move lists? The technicality of the game is pretty daunting; having move names in Japanese doesn't really reduce the intimidation of learning the ins and outs of the game. It doesn't really change anything. That said, only some of the names are their translated versions.
Q: I'm stuck in the menus! Why isn't there a back button? This sucks.
A: Read the NFO, or stop playing the game. You don't deserve it if you can't take a second to read about what you're downloading.
