In 1999, Capcom released Street Fighter III: Double Impact (Street Fighter III: W Impact in Japan) for the Dreamcast, a compilation containing the original game and 2nd Impact. The compilation features an Arcade, Versus, Training and Option Mode for both games, as well as a "Parry Attack Mode" in 2nd Impact, where the player gets to test his or her parrying skills in the games bonus round. This compilation also allows players to use Gill (in both games) and Shin Akuma (in 2nd Impact only), who were exclusively computer-controlled characters in the arcade version. In May 2018, 2nd Impact was re-released as an emulation-style arcade perfect featured game as part of the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection developed for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Steam, and Nintendo Switch. With save states, the game can be continued from save points by the player. Reception In Japan, Game Machine listed Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact on their December 1, 1997 issue as being the third most-successful arcade game of the year. IGN said that Alpha 3 "wins hands down in all senses." CNET said that the game was "only for purists", with GamePro in agreement, saying "Hardcore fans are going to be on automatic and get it right away, but it's a tough situation for the average fighting fan." Daily Radar said that it "doesn't have all the bells and whistles that other SF titles have, but its fighting engine is so clean and deep that it is a joy to play for old schoolers." Music The themes for the games are predominantly drum and bass, with some jazz, hip-hop, and techno elements. While Yuki Iwai worked on the soundtracks for New Generation and 2nd Impact, Hideki Okugawa worked on all three games. The soundtrack to the first game in the series was released on CD by First Smile Entertainment in 1997, while the 3rd Strike original soundtrack was released by Mars Colony Music in 2000 with an arranged version afterwards.
