Far from it you sperg

But those are reference images for merchandise. Like the opposite of forgotten.

Honey/Candy was wasted on a dead game.

Poor King

>>5497913
luckily not yours do decide, sperglord

Capcom and Sega have literally dozens of forgotten games.
Darkstalekrs isn't forgotten. Actually it's well remembered, it's the most popular gme that actually no one played. It didn't sell, yet the characters are extremely popular to this day.

Meanwhile, other Capcom games are REALLY forgotten.

>>5497979
Tech Romancer. The Dreamcast port being a sad joke didn't help.

>>5497979
It didn't sell, so they made 3 sequels and multiple compilations.

>>5497981
what is wrong with the port?
You're the first person I ever hear complain about it.

>>5497981
It just works

>>5497981
Dreamcast exçusive. Deader than dead.

>but it fad a PSP port!
Almost 15 years ago.

Perhaps not so dead, as the creator wants to revive it.

Read Earth. Dead on arrival on a DOA board 23 years ago.

So dead that I don't even know if it was alive one day.
Most people don't know it was a sequel to an arcade ebat em up.

>>5498009
A shame because it has some really neat character designs. Such is the fate of tech demo that didn't hammer out the kinks in gameplay.

This heap of shit right here actually sold millions. Way more than Darkstalkers, for sure.
It was already forgotten for the second game and absolutely dead by the third, that may not be good, but it's fun.

Amazing music (that no one talks about), cool and very 90's character designs, dead game.

>>5497985
That didn't sell. The game that everyone remembers for Morrigan, Felicia, BIG TITS, ASS, cool characters, but no one actually bought.
And dirty latinos playing bootleg Playstation CDs don't count.

>>5498019
Not in Japan, especially in 3D/figyua/modelkit scene

>>5498009
> DOA board
nonsense

>>5498009
RE made its production costs in sales

>>5497986
>>5497987
It's just the arcade game. No enhancements besides bilinear filtering and some effects here and there.
But the arcade game ran on a fucking Playstation-based board, so it is leagues behind Dreamcast port. A Playstation game on Dreamcast competing against Soul Calibur and Dead or Alive 2. Heh.

At least it got a really nice art gallery and Cyberbots BLOODIA, that actually was in the arcade original, just dummied out.

The Star Galdiator 2 port, PLASMA SWORD, also was pretty pathetic.

Jubei Yamada.

>>5498048
It was dead on arrival. No one liked CPS III, no one liked Street Fighter 3, not even Capcom, and that's why CPS III only had 6 fucking games.
The Alpha series and even EX were way more popular back in 96/97, and as soon Naomi arrived Capcom dropped CPS III altogether

Hey, remember Savage Reign?

>>5498060
>It's just the arcade game
So it's perfectly fine then? Isn't that exactly what one would want from an arcade port?
>bilinear filtering and some effects here and there
>really nice art gallery and Cyberbots BLOODIA
And a couple nice bonuses on top.
How is this a bad port again?

What's worse? To be forgotten or only be remembered by Brazilians?

Most Sega series suffer this fate.

>>5498081
>How is this a bad port again?
Just compare it to Soul Calibur, that also came from a Playstation arcade board.

Tech Romancer was leagues behind it and felt outdated on Dreamcast, just like Plasma Sword.

>>5498068
Bullshit
It made it costs back in full with the sales

>>5498081
Oh fuck off. Like fuck off and die in a corner you pleb. It's a great game, you autistic sperg.

Fucker

>>5498089
Definitely the later

>>5497996
dont remind me............

>>5498090
Good on Soul Calibur I guess, but I don't see how it doing it better makes the other ports bad.

If the developer wants to go the extra mile that's okay, but as long as the core experience is as close as possible to the Arcade I wouldn't call it a bad port, Dream Cast was full of ports like that and they're all pretty good. Or what, are you gonna call the MVC1 port bad because the original board was on CPS-2 which is leagues behind the DC's power and most other games on the system? Is the PSX port better because the hardware is closer to it even though they had to cut animations and features?

Still mad he didn't get a second chance.

Search Morrigan_Aensland on Sankaku

Sure as fuck doesn't look forgotten to me

>>5498089
What is it with Brazil and Alex Kidd?

>>5497815
Really? Darkstalkers?

>>5497929
Is Clark representative of the Japanese?

>>5498001
CVS2, TVC
neither does OP's count since MVCI exists with a male representative, which not even UMVC3 had.

>>5498089
My (meme) boomer uncle who was a Sega kid and frequented arcades told me about this and many other games like Zillion.

>>5498474
I meant to include that I am an American.

>>5498089
Altered Beast has transcended its status as a Sega game though. It's been a meme forever

This gecko right here sold more than 16 million.

>>5498510
and his games are shit

>>5498095
So much so they ditched it in favor of the Naomi for mvc2 and cvs2.

>>5497815
Dumbass, Felicia was one of the funniest characters on Project XZone 2.

>>5498770
Felicia is also a downloadable character costume on SFV.
I'm linking the .gif because it's too big for this site: https://i2.wp.com/www.kuzokuent.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Street-Fighter-V-Arcade-Edition-Darkstalkers-Bundle_1.gif?fit=560%2C314

>>5498405
Rage of the Dragons was really cool

>>5498770
Felicia, Morrigan and Hsien-ko were the Darkstalkers representants in MvC3

>>5498816
Fun fact: Felicia was the reason why the ESRB gave that game a "Partial Nudity" warning.

>>5497929
When you say forgotten, do you mean by gamers? Because King is a prolific KoF character, appearing in most of the games since the original.

>>5497979

>That didn't sell.
Let's look at the Japanese arcade income charts:
http://www.netlaputa.ne.jp/~dummy/gamest/magazine/gamest/v136.html
Darkstalkers 1 was #4 for 1994.
http://www.netlaputa.ne.jp/~dummy/gamest/magazine/gamest/v162.html
Night Warriors was #3 for 1995.
http://www.netlaputa.ne.jp/~dummy/gamest/magazine/gamest/v212.html
Vampire Savior was #5 for 1997.
All 3 games hit their year's top 5. And befor you try to say that Japanese aracdes are an insignificantly small market, during the years the Darkstalkers series was being released, it was generating revenues nearly identical to that of the American console game market of the time.

Maan, Capcom REALLY fucked up with this series. No action in 16 years.

>>5499235
Not forgotten, it has an active following here, threads crop up every week or so.
We agree not to talk about 3 though.

>>5497815
Felicia also had a few japan-only cellphone games.

>>5497979
Darkstalkers didn't die because it was unpopular. It died because Capcom was stepping away from fighting games altogether in the late 90s. It's the same reason Street Fighter disappeared around the same time and they never tried to milk Marvel vs Capcom 2 despite being Marvel vs Capcom 2.

>>5497815

>>5499336
SF disappeared because SF III failed. And they didn't try to milk MVC2 because they lost the Marvel license.

>>5499329
I've wondered about those phone games where you have the role of hero cast on unusual guys like Rikuo, but the service is down and I think they came out after 2000 so are not allowed on/vr/.

>>5499425
NEVER
EVER

>hey, we actually created Mario 64, but Nintendo stole it from us
>hey, it was a Yoshi game, but we turned it into Croc. Please, REMEMBER CROC!
Bullshit.

>>5502578
I remember years ago there was one of these fake leak lists for E3 posted on /v/ and it included a Darkstalkers vs Clayfighter crossover, what made it semi-possible was that at the time Interplay's IPs were for sale. It would have been a bizarre crossover but it would have worked so well.

That shitty MOBA Nosgoth killed the franchise. Now the dev just makes shitty new Tomb Raider games every year.

>>5498401
What? Isn't it a good game?

>>5501375
>create shitty game with RE tank controls
>in a fucking platformer
>AYO WE WUZ MARIO 64 N SHIET

>>5498001
Akira and Daigo a best. I'm still mad they cut a whole cd worth of content for the western release. Did the rpg mode ever get a translation?

>>5497815
nobody remembers socket

>>5505390
I mentioned him recently on a Sonic clones thread. I like it, great music.

>>5498401
>>5504801
It is. It's just that the Sega Master system (Tectoy) is crazy popular in Brazil.
Pic related, it's the Tectoy Master System III released in 2008.

The best classic beat em ups are 3D nd are Dynamite Deka 1 and 2.

Yet, most beat em up fans are latinos obsessed with playing the same 2D games for decades.

>>5497913
I want to fuck Honey

>>5506695
Great game.

>>5505619
Bubble Dragons a cute

The game that would "do it" for the Sega Saturn, as said by Steven Spielberg.

>>5499336
Darkstalkers died because the market was moving to 3D and it was already crazy demanding to make all the animation for all the sprites; there's no way anyone was going to redraw all that then put it into 3D.

A sad truth.

>>5497815
Are you retarded or just new to /vr/ ?

>>5498293
Agree but it's not retro
