Side Pocket 3 (Japanese: サイドポケット3, Hepburn: Saido Poketto 3) is a Japan-exclusive pocket billiards video game for the Sega Saturn and PlayStation. Like its predecessor, Side Pocket 2, it features the in-game likeness of a real-life professional pool player. In this case, it's JPBA member, Kyoko Sone.[4] The game is the third and final installment of the Side Pocket series.

Unlike the prior installments in the Side Pocket series, Side Pocket 3 renders the pool room environment with 3D polygons. In spite of this, the table can still be viewed in a traditional, top-down fashion.
Play modes consist of: story mode,[4] training mode, trick game mode,[4] and versus mode. Game variants include eight ball, nine ball, rotation, 14.1 continuous, bowlliards, cutthroat, carom billiards, poker, pocket game (a homage to the original game), and yotsudama.
Reception
[edit]Weekly Famitsu scored the PlayStation version at 25 out of 40, claiming that it was more or less the same as its Sega Saturn counterpart.[5]
Brazilian magazine Ação Games gave the Saturn version 8 out of 10.[6]
