![]() Received more favorably than its predecessor, Capcom concluded the Street Fighter III series with 1999's Street Fighter III: Third Strike - Fight for the Future. Adding two new fighters, making returning brothers Yun and Yang distinctly different characters, and bringing back Akuma as a secret boss, Second Impact also rebalanced gameplay, tweaked mechanics and improved the animation and frame rate. Seven months after The New Generation's launch, Capcom released Street Fighter III: Second Impact - Giant Attack in arcades worldwide as the second title in the Street Fighter III series. As a result, it sold just a fraction of what its predecessor did, with Street Fighter II selling over 50,000 arcade cabinets worldwide while The New Generation sold less than 10,000. While the production value, especially regarding technical presentation, was praised, contemporary critics were overall mixed on The New Generation. With only Ryu and Ken returning to the lineup, Street Fighter III boasted a new combat system, including a parry mechanic, and expanded on the Super Combo mechanic with the Super Art system. Launched in 1997, Street Fighter III: The New Generation was released in arcades after a three-year-long development period that cost approximately $8 million.
