This is an original Japanese poster printed in 1996 for the promotion of "Street Fighter III" in Japan. This poster was used at the time in arcades. This poster is in superb condition for its age and is incredibly rare. Video arcade posters were printed in FAR fewer numbers than film posters.
Street Fighter III: New Generation (Japanese: ストリートファイターIII -New Generation-) is a fighting video game in Capcom's Street Fighter series, originally released as coin-operated arcade game in 1997. The game's name as it appears on the cabinet is Three: A New Generation of Street Fighters. Street Fighter III was produced for the CD-ROM-based CP System III hardware, which allowed for more elaborate 2D graphics than the CPS II-based Street Fighter Alpha games (the previous incarnation of the Street Fighter series), while revamping many of the play mechanics. The game, which was designed as a direct sequel to Street Fighter II, initially discarded every previous character except for Ryu and Ken (hence the "New Generation" subtitle), introducing an all-new roster led by Alex. Likewise, a new antagonist named Gill took over M. Bison's role from the previous games as the new boss character.
Street Fighter III was followed by two updates: Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact in 1997 and Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike in 1999. A single home version of the game was released for the Dreamcast in a two-in-one compilation titled Street Fighter III: Double Impact, which also includes 2nd Impact.
