Masoud House of DualShockers takes a look back at the promise Capcom made to fans on bringing back the Darkstalkers series, why Darkstalkers: Resurrection was a poor way of gauging fan interest and a poor excuse to deny fans a true sequel, and why this company philosophy will hurt not just Darkstalkers, but other Capcom franchises.

Scott from The Controller Online writes: "Video game Kickstarters could use some good press, after a couple of mis-steps by other projects, but Harebrained Schemes are here with the latest crowd-funded effort, hoping to save the day. Their new game, Shadowrun Returns marks the first true Shadowrun game since the 16-bit era and it is one that I couldnt be happier to see again. Resurrecting an old property doesnt always pay off, but Harebrained Schemes think they can please old fans of the series, and bring in new players with Shadowrun Returns. Did they succeed? Lets find out."

J. Hugo of Kaboomshark writes "A day where you find out a beloved franchise has been sent to the storage room to collect dust is always a sad day indeed and, for many, today was one of those days with the announcement that Darkstalkers would be shoved aside. According to details revealed by Capcoms head of fighting games Matt Dahlgren, the reason why manys hopes for a Darkstalkers sequel has been quashed is due to the poor sales figures of Darkstalkers: Resurrection........However, is the failure of Darkstalkers: Resurrection resting squarely on the shoulders of us gamers who didnt buy it? I dont really think so."

Turns out Darkstalkers may be dead after all.
Yoshinori Ono likes to assure his fans on a regular basis that vintage fighting game series Darkstalkers "is not dead." However, disappointing sales of recent XBLA re-release Darkstalkers: Resurrection may have been the final nail in the coffin for Morrigan, Jon Talbain, Lord Raptor and company.
