Not one to keep secrets, the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) has revealed that Street Fighter Alpha is coming to the PlayStation 3 and PSP care of SCEA. Given the platforms, first-party publisher, and relative age of the game, we're going to guess this will be coming as a downloadable title via the PlayStation Network, probably prior to the release of the still-unrated (and still long-winded) Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix.
Although we would have preferred the sequel, Street Fighter Alpha could serve as a fun, nostalgic appetizer until SFIITHDR makes it way onto the network. Then again, perhaps Capcom is waiting until both fighters are released to announce Super Street Fighter Alpha 3 Hyper Turbo HD Remix Redux, thus earning a lifetime achievement award for obnoxiously long game titles.

I come from the future. In 2304 the British finally start to accept the English language and adopt it as their primary language.
Oh wait... that happened before Christ was born. WHEN AM I?!

Isn't SF Alpha 3 already out on the PSP? Who wants to play SF Alpha after that?
Also, I'd rather see SF Alpha 3 on the PSN with online play than SF Alpha. And SF 3: Third Strike too.

The problem is.. it's nearly impossible to decipher your insult.
Like, I can tell it's an insult but I don't know wtf you're trying to say.

SF Alpha? Really? That's like releasing SF3 when you have 3rd Strike to offer. Honestly, Alpha...not nearly as fun as Alpha 2/Gold/3. Seriously Sony (or Capcom, or whoever) make the smart choice here and release something better than Alpha.

Or they can release Alpha now, then the "something better" later, thus getting people to buy both.

Check again joystiq, street fighter alpha anthology is already out for the PS2, the only logical one would be the one for the psp and ps3 which means we will be seeing the ps one version of SFA that will be allowed to be played on ps3 or psp.
SFA anthology on ps2 link
http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=939380
and SFA 3 max on psp
http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=935082
so its got to be one of those slow trickling psn releases.
Thats what happens when you guys list a comic from CAD as one of the weekly webcomics awards, that comic in particular makes am you unsmart!

Heh, I actually have the Street Fighter Alpha Anthology. Good times, even with the mildly gimped World Tour mode in Alpha 3.
And if I can find an old PS3, I can play Alpha Anthology on it.
