C'mon, it was bound to happen.
Anyway, the third game takes place between NG1 and NG2. This is confirmed by the game manual, of all things, hence why Ryu still has the Dragon Sword.
Also, you only have a limited number of continues, which makes this game even harder than the second one in ways you can't even imagine. You'll have to dig down deep in order to beat the game without losing them all.
Having said that, let's get on with the game.
Act 1
Why did someone pose as Ryu and eliminate Irene? Is Irene actually still alive? Let's find out!
The controls for this game is basically like the second one. There are some real changes, though. There's no normal blue shuriken this time around, and you start out with the red shuriken that has the ability to boomerang back and forth every time you jump over it. Also, the power-up icons actually show what's inside before you slash at them with your sword. That's really nice, because you'll need to get the right power-up at the right time sometimes like in the first two games. The two waves that go both up and down is the only new special attack in the game, and you can also extend the reach of your sword with the red sword power-up.
In the American version of the game, all the enemies do double damage compared to the original Japanese. Thanks, Tecmo.
The boss is easy. Wait for him to expose his chest and shoot flames at the floor that come at you. Slash at him as he's exposed, then run away while he's moving and wait for him to expose himself again.
Ryu will find out that the lab that Irene Lew was investigating isn't your run-of-the-mill lab. Some random guy shows up and tells him to look for the Castle Rock fortress if he wants to find out what's going on.
