Street Fighter Zero 3 Upper (ストリートファイター ZERO3アッパー) is a revision of Street Fighter Zero 3 for Sega NAOMI GD-ROM. It is based on the Sega Dreamcast port of the game rather than the original arcade game (which was developed for Capcom's CPS-2 arcade board).

This version incorporates many features from the home ports, including the new characters (Evil Ryu, Shin Gouki, Dee Jay, Fei Long, T. Hawk, and Guile, plus M. Bison, Juli, and Juni are now immediately selectable and have their full stories and endings). It also includes some balance changes, including fixing the "crouch canceling" glitch that could lead to infinite combos in V-ism. Upper also allows players to upload customized characters from the Dreamcast version's World Tour mode by inserting a VMU into a memory card slot on the cabinet.

History

Legacy

A Game Boy Advance version was developed by Crawfish Interactive and released in 2002. Due to hardware limitations, this version cuts animation frames, stages, music tracks, and voices. However, it retains the entire roster and adds Eagle, Maki, and Yun from Capcom vs. SNK 2.

In 2006, the game was re-released as a hidden game in Street Fighter Zero: Fighters' Generation for the PlayStation 2 (called Street Fighter Alpha Anthology outside of Japan). This version adds the Dramatic Battle and Survival modes and the "Mode" fighting styles (Normal, Mazi, Saikyou, and Classic) from the Dreamcast version. In 2025, the game was re-released again as part of Capcom Fighting Collection 2 for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Steam. This version includes online play and additional features such as a new training mode with visible hitboxes and an input display. The game is called Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper in the Western re-releases.
