No More HD Fighting Games From Capcom

No More HD Fighting Games From Capcom

Capcom reckons that these titles have run their course.

Responding to fan questions on Capcom Unity, Capcom’s senior vice president Christian Svensson wrote:

New development in the form of updated versions of SF2, SF3, MvC2, MvC1, Marvel Super Heroes, Darkstalkers, Puzzle Fighter etc. Sadly, I think we’ve probably run the course of feasible titles here given the droppoff we’ve seen in sales with each new introduction.

It seems the novelty of such projects is wearing off even within just the fighting game community based upon the sales data of our last two launches. That said, we have been quite prolific in these areas (despite the assertion above that we haven’t) and it’s probably time for us to slow down anyway.

    all i ever wanted was an arcade perfect version of Super Street Fighter II Turbo for PSn, but instead crapcom gives us that HD remix bull****. whoever runs the head of capcoms game department needs to be fired immediately.
