>no one cares about Darkstalkers because no one bought Resurrection When will this fucking meme end
Let's set something straight here once and for all; Darkstalkers Resurrection came out after a bunch of other ports and remasters that Capcom was releasing at the time. It had to compete with JoJo's, Third Strike, and Marvel vs Capcom 1. Capcom also released the PS1 versions of Darkstalkers 1 and 3 on PSN beforehand as well.
Resurrection was never going to pull the numbers Capcom expected because of general fighting game fatigue people were already feeling after SFxT bombed, and DS:R actually performed well enough to make it into the top 10 downloads on PSN that month, and it had to compete with DLC for other AAA games at the time.
I don't know what kind of numbers Capcom was expecting but gauging the vitality of a franchise on a port of a game that's over a decade old, that has also been ported several times across many different platforms, and hasn't had a real sequel since 1997, is fucking retarded and makes absolutely no sense.

Fuck you I care

Darkstalkers doesn't matter it's been replaced by Under Night In-birth
Charles Mitchell
Not like they had anything else to go on. The last sales data they had was well over a decade old and was from a completely different era. This was the only way for them to gauge interest
Noah Barnes
No you don't fuck off.
Michael Garcia
Yes I do you fuck off
Jaxon Clark
It doesn't matter anymore Darkstalkers is crossover fodder forever now.
Adrian Lewis
Actually no one really gives a shit about darkstalkers
They just want more morrigan and midnight bliss
Jace Cooper
The real reason we didn't get Darkstalkers 4 is because SFxT DLC bombed, and Capcom wasn't willing to take any more risks in the Fighting Game division.
Jeremiah Watson
You mean all the shit they left on the disc?

>Fans didn't kill Darkstalkers, Capcom did. You finally figured it out. They wanted it dead ever since they did Vampire Savior 2 and Vampire Hunter 2.

In their ability to ruin amazing IP's Capcom is dwarfed only by EA.
Blake Price
Didn't they do that so they didn't have to pay/make up for unused CPSII boards?

Sega is still king of fuckin' up franchises, and Konami is the elder god of this
