Spong.com recently interviewed Crawfish about their progress on their conversion of SFA3 for the GBA,
and some new details have popped up. The game is to be a port of the Dreamcast version of SFA3 with the
inclusion of three new characters, Yun, Maki, and Eagle. The World Tour Mode, once said to be one of the
modes in the game will not be included. All other modes will be included, even Dramatic Battle.

This is purley rumour at the moment, but is still worth mentioning. Cloudchaser Nintendo is reporting
that Capcom has plans on making a "combat pad" for use on the Gamecube, which would come with an
upcoming fighting game. If this rumour is true, it seems that the next Capcom fighter could appear on
the Gamecube, whatever that may be.

Well, I haven't updated the news section in awhile, so I thought I'd try putting something here.
Anyways if you haven't heard the GBA is going to be home to quite a few 2D fighting games. Along with
the already released Super Street Fighter II Turbo: Revival, there are also plans to release Street
Fighter Alpha 3, The King of Fighters EX: Neoblood, and Guilty Gear Advance.
On a side note, Marevlous Entertainment, the ones making KoF EX, also plans on releasing the game with a
special edition Gameboy Advance. The special edition features the game's logo, and the symbols of Kyo
and Iori's clan.
