Darkstalkers Resurrection rising from its grave Mar. 14 in Japan
Darkstalkers Resurrection, the XBLA/PSN combo re-release of Night Warriors: Darkstalkers Revenge and Darkstalkers 3 announced during NYCC last October, has had its Japanese release date changed from February 7 to March 14, according to Siliconera's translation of the game's Japanese website.The extended development time will be used to improve the netcode being stuffed into both games, as well as to ensure that the ports themselves are as arcade-perfect as possible. Capcom has told us that the Japanese delay will have "no impact" on a North American release, and that "the game is still on track for release early next year in North America."
Capcom announces Darkstalkers Resurrection at NYCC [Update: Now with trailer and screenshots]
Capcom has just announced Darkstalkers Resurrection, an PSN/XBLA Darkstalkers collection expected to release early next year at $14.99/1,600 1,200 MS Points. The game, announced during a Street Fighter 25th Anniversary Panel at New York Comic Con, is under development at Iron Galaxy Studios and will bundle the arcade versions of Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge and Darkstalkers 3 together as a single downloadable title, ala Marvel vs. Capcom Origins.Both games will run on GGPO and will include the standard Ranked Match/Player Match online setup standard to Capcom re-releases. Replay sharing and YouTube functionality are also present, as are HD filters and a gallery of unlockable art assets and bonuses, including the work of Udon and custom artwork by Stanley Lao.When the time came to choose which Darkstalkers game would receive the HD treatment, the decision to release two games as a bundle was one of necessity, according to Capcom producer Derek Neal."We were agonizing over which to release," Neal told us shortly after the game's announcement. "They're the two most popular, fan-favorite games of the people who have played Darkstalkers way back when and loved it. There's a group that loves Darkstalkers 2 and a group that loves Darkstalkers 3."Eventually, Capcom concluded that the only way to keep everyone happy was to release both games as a double-pack.Update: Capcom has informed us that the XBLA price point of 1,600 MS Points listed in the press release after the break is incorrect, and that the game will in fact be available for 1,200 MS Points.%Gallery-168192%
