This game made me wonder: "How did they manage to fit all those different characters in such a tiny package?!"

This is the first game that really made me appreciate the technology of the Game Boy Advance in a way I never truly did before. While I had no doubts that the Game Boy Advance was an innovation and definitly opened the doors to portable video game opportunities that weren't available before, it was still difficult for me to believe that the Game Boy Advance was nothing more than just a portable Playstation! Back in 2001, it was hard to believe that a portable video game system could have the same graphics and game play ability that a professionial video game console such as the Playstation did! The Game Gear, the Atari Lynx, the Sega Nomad, and the Bandai Wonderswan already tried to do this, and they all failed miserably due to the fact that they ate double AA batteries like there was no tomorrow, while the humble black and white Game Boy stayed on the shelves for years and years before becoming a better Game Boy Pocket and then a Game Boy Color! But this game made me realize that the Game Boy Advance was no mere Playstation clone! If anything, it was like Playstation 1.5! Because this game had better graphics, better controls, better sound, and better speed then any Playstation game that I've ever played had ever achieved! There was no slow-down, no time to wait between fights, and no lag-down no matter what kind of moves the character performed, and there were a lot to choose from! A myriad of video game characters equals a wonderfully diverse choice of ways to fight through and win this game! It starts off difficult at first, but "Street Fighter Alpha 3" proves to be just as much fun to play on the Game Boy Advance as it is in the Arcade! And not only that, but it only needs to be bought once before it quickly manages to pays for itself! This game definitely proved that the Game Boy Advance was a video game system to be reckoned with! That's why I loved this game! :D Enough said! ;)
