Whether fans of the modern beat-em-up genre acknowledge it or not, they have a lot to thank the Darkstalkers franchise for. While Street Fighter maintained its status as Capcoms cash cow, it was Darkstalkers that allowed the company to experiment, to address alternatives and gauge the audiences reaction. It was arguably the welcome reception that Darkstalkers received that eventually led to the likes of BlazBlue and Arcana Heart finding their way to European markets helping to build publisher confidence and the likes of Skull Girls may never have existed without Darkstalkers unique brand of offbeat fighting mechanics. Surely then, this high-definition (HD) resurrection is long overdue.
