One of the first console ports of the arcade game. Expansions from the original include new survival modes and the fan-favorite World Tour mode. Also known for inducting the remaining four fighters from the Street Fighter II sub-series, T. Hawk, Fei Long, Dee Jay and Guile, in addition to Evil Ryu and Shin Akuma from the previous Street Fighter Alpha, meaning every playable character in the entire series up to this point (except for the original characters from the previously released EX and III games) was present. But more was to come six years later, following the release of the PSP...

PocketStation Mode

Menu	Mode

Use the GameShark code 30194232 0005 to enable PocketStation mode in the US version. This feature is normally accessible only in the Japanese version, as the PocketStation was never released overseas. However, the downloaded minigame, Pocket Alpha, is fully functional and translated.
