Street Fighter Alpha set to hit PSN

The ESRB has officially given Street Fighter Alpha a teen rating for the PlayStation 3 console and PSP handheld. This indicates that the game is probably not too far off from being released to the public for download via the PlayStation Network.

If you can remember back to the release of SFA on the original PlayStation, you’d be able to recall that this installment of the franchise was far different than its predecessors. This title featured an overall unique character design and visual enticement. Hardcore fans will probably admit this wasn’t their favorite iteration of Street Fighter, but it’ll obviously be refreshing to reminisce on old times while playing through SFA once again.

We don’t have a specific date set for when this is expected to hit the PlayStation Network, but we’ll keep you updated as more news comes in.

    who cares which one it is... it's SF... Tekken & Virtua Fighter are getting a we bit boring.... and giving the fact that our options on the US PSN Store for classic titles freaking suk, this would be a nice treat... keep'em coming... and bring MGS with you...

    Alpha 2 I think was the best from the alpha series. Now if they can release SF 3rd strike then I am down for some online pwnage.

    Why not just release the whole entire Street Fighter series (with old school graphics [to avoid delays!]) onto one BD disc???  It'll solve all our dilemas of which SF game they should release, ergo, we'll all be happy! XD

    IMO, I feel that an SF game on the PSP isn't the best way to play such a game that requires more buttons than the  PSP provides and with me, there's plenty of painful button bashing involved in the game!!! ;)

    Well, we do already have PS2 versions of Street FIghter Anneversary collection and Street Fighter Alpha Anthology already. It would be nice to have downloadable Street Fighter titles though so I can get rid of my old discs.

    Funky...would have preferred Alpha 3 just for the sheer cast size and random storyliens but this will suffice until IV comes out...

    Never liked the Tekken/Street Fighter/Virtua Fighter games myself.  I prefer the Soulcalibur fighting much more.  A little less button-mashing.

    it would be pretty sweet if you could play against someone wirelessly w/ your psp on this title. here's hoping they add that to it.
