The in-game story isn't more than you would get in an old Street Fighter game. Just a short ending sequence and that's it. But like Street Fighter, Darkstalkers' characters aren't the sort of character you really appreciate via story or narrative, it's more about experiencing them in action. And in Darkstalkers' case in particular, the characters' sprite animations are bursting with personality.

or Vampire Slayer

The Darkstalkers series. Sprite animation that blew people's' minds back in the day not just for its quality but its creativity. In an era where Street Fighter 2 clones were everywhere and every fighting game had its own karate guy, ninja, boxer, wrestler, and kung fu chick and attacks didn't get much fancier than throwing a fireball or two, you now had a game where zombies impale you with their ribs, mummies put curses on you, robots sprout drills and wrecking balls, mermen throw you with their tongues, and yetis spit snowmen at you. All rendered in fluid, cartoon animation on the level of classic Looney Tunes and Disney.

Man, if you think SF3 is overanimation I'd hate to see what you think of Darkstalkers.

Well they're ~$30 with shipping now. I can easily make a 6 foot cable for under $5

What should I look for when I go to pick up this console?
