If any of you grew up in the 90s, you may remember when Sega was a big name among video game fans everywhere. One of their titles from the Genesis generation was Streets of Rage 3. It was a side-scrolling beat-em-up fighting game where you battle various hoodlums on the mean streets of an urban setting.
Good news, Sega has decided to port it to iOS and Streets of Rage 3 should be hitting your local App Store any minute now. The game belongs to the beat-em-up genre with games like Final Fight or Double Dragon.
