Why not just release 3rd Strike for the DC?
Nike Gatsby
that much different? Why doesn't Capcom just release Third Strike instead?
Well I know it's 'cause it's new and all that but still I want to play that
game, in fact I want to play SF3 period 'cause I never played it 'cept once
and that was a long time ago when i didn't like SF.
On a different note, anyone bought KOF99 for Dreamcast? I like the game but
I hate how they made it seem like it was gonna be different from KOF98
'cause it's almost exactly the same damn thing!

KOF Dream Match 99 is supposed to be KOF98 with 3D
type backgrounds, not the actual KOF99. I also
think they should just release 3rd Strike and
not the other two.

same reason MvC is coming to the playstation, capcom wants to make
money. release 3rd strike later and they have two games to sell instead
of just one.

I can see how they can reaon putting MvC on the psx since there's such
a large installed user base and the game's roster is different enough
from past Vs. games on the system. It'd make enough money to be worth
the effort.
Releasing two versions of SF3 sounds akin to the SSF2T/SSF2:CE fiasco
on the Snes though.

It's pretty simple actually. It's something Capcom has been doing for years.
Don't let them fool you; they probably have third strike completed for DC
already. However...
Think of it this way. If you release third strike and SF3 Double impact at the
same time, who would buy double impact? Nobody, since the newer game is also
out there. So....what Capcom will do, is release Double impact just in time for
the holiday season (it makes the perfect Christmas gift! seems like a decent ad
campaign, no?). Then, one month later, they'll release third strike, so all
those kiddies who saved up their christmas money can get it. So, by doing this,
they sell two games instead of one, and a hell of a lot of them to boot due to
the holidays. Get it?

It IS the same damn thing dude. The only real difference is that the music is
remixed, the graphics are cleaner, and the backrounds are 3D (they kick ass!).
But other than that (and the fact that you can play as Omega Rugal) the game is
exactly the same. The real KOF 99 will be released for DC tho.
