That being said, it has been decades since we’ve gotten new a Darkstalkers game that wasn’t a re-release or remaster of a game, but Darkstalkers continues to be a beloved franchise thanks to all of the other content it has: the anime, the American cartoon, the comics and manga, the art books, the appearances in other Capcom games, and the fact that you can’t go to a convention without seeing some sort of Morrigan cosplay. In fact, half of the collection’s lineup is Darkstalkers based. Granted, the upcoming Capcom Fighting Collectionis going to include Darkstalkers games that never made it to the U.S. Fangirl Thoughts:Ĭonsidering all of the fanfare this series gets, I am constantly surprised that Capcom doesn’t just go ahead and announce a game that isn’t just a rerelease of past installments. The greatest of these supernatural creatures, and the greatest among those who hunt them, meet in battle to determine who will rule the night. The reason for this merger varies depending on the continuity, but a continuing theme is that the union of realms brings the arrival of the Darkstalkers to the human world, the term being a catch-all for the various creatures of legend. The Darkstalkers games take place on Earth as it’s in the process of merging with a realm known as Makai. I love Street Fighter and Resident Evil, but I miss Capcom’s other franchises, the ones that are either only seen in a collection pack or … not at all. I’m honestly at a point where I kinda wish I’d be proven wrong about what big thing Capcom’s planning on revealing. When I saw Capcom’s countdown clock that teased “something” being announced, I assumed it was either Street Fighter or Resident Evil, and since we’d all asked Lady Dimitrescu to step on us last year, now it’s Ryu’s turn. That being said, as cool as it is to be getting more Street Fighter content, it’s not all that surprising, as it can very well be called one of Capcom’s most iconic franchises (if not THE most iconic, depending on who you ask). I spent a lot of hours on that game and making sure Chun-Li got her classic ending of avenging her father and moving on to be “a regular girl.” As someone who enjoys her fair share of fighting games, Street Fighter II holds a significant place in my heart as the first one I ever played. I’ve been a fan of Street Fighter since I first put Street Fighter II into my Super Nintendo.
