Among Capcom's myriad of beloved classic titles, Darkstalkers stands out as one of its most requested fighting franchises. Capcom recently released Darkstalkers Resurrection on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, but Capcom senior VP Christian Svensson says it was a sales disappointment, causing him to question of he misjudged the interest in the game.
With love in the air and catgirls on its mind, Capcom today announced that revamp double-pack Darkstalkers Resurrection will arrive for download in March, hitting PlayStation 3 on the 12th and Xbox Live Arcade on the 13th. Bringing jazzed-up versions of the original Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors and Darkstalkers 3, it'll cost $15.
Oh look, Darkstalkers isn't dead.
Capcom has just announced Darkstalkers Resurrection at New York Comic Con. It isn't a new game, however. Instead, it brings together the original Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors and Darkstalkers 3 in a single downloadable package being readied for PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade.
Has the fighting genre grown large enough that it can start supporting more obscure franchises? Capcom's fighting team has already shipped a new Street Fighter and Marvel Vs. Capcom game this generation, and is currently putting the finishing touches on Street Fighter x Tekken. Could their next game come from the lesser-known Darkstalkers franchise?
Perhaps. Capcom has submitted a new registration for a Darkstalkers trademark with the European Union, the first time since Darkstalkers Chronicle's release in 2004.
Though it's been over a decade since the last Darkstalkers game, Capcom has never forgotten about the fighting series. It's slipped Darkstalkers characters into numerous other games, with catgirl Felicia and succubus Morrigan always popular, and now it's bringing the very first game to PlayStation Network.
The Electronic Software Ratings Board has spilled the beans on yet another PS1 Classic, this time an entry from the cult hit fighting series Darkstalkers. A new rating for Darkstalkers: The Night Warrior has been found on the ESRB site. If history is any indication, that means you'll soon be able to plunk down seven bucks for some classic fighting action.
