Streets of Rage 3 is an action beat ‘em up game for the Sega Genesis, and at one time was the final installment of the "Street of Rage" saga. The game offers substantial improvement over its predecessor, including a more complex storyline, multiple endings, faster and more agile gameplay, more variety of situations in each stage, hidden characters, and much more. Due to the dwindling popularity of the beat ‘em ups in, the series would not see another entry for quite some time.

Streets of Rage 3 - Blaze of Fury / Bare Knuckle III - Ikari no Blaze


Blaze isn't very happy that she's weaker than Axel in every game of Streets of Rage series, so she gains incredible strength in this hack.

In this hacked game, the strength of Blaze is increased by approximately 50%. She also has some new attack moves. She wears a black jacket and a bike helmet in the game. That helmet isn't for decoration. It's also a melee weapon. Try that on the thugs, and you will know how good it is. Obviously she has conquered the biker gangs and became their new leader.

Two IPS files are provided. SOR3_Blaze_fury.ips is for the US version. BK3_Blaze_fury.ips is for the Japanese version. You must apply the patch to the correct ROM. It is recommended that you use Lunar IPS.

The hacked rom is tested under Gens and Kega Fusion. No glitch is found.
