Maybe working on a modern Samurai Shodown or *gasps* Last Blade for current platforms.

A man can dream........

jc485734218d ago (Edited 4218d ago )

Despite the fact that Sen was a disappointing game for most, I actually discovered that K2 developer (used to go by Galapagos Team back when they used to work for SNK) was actually the former creators of the Samurai Shodown classics from 1-4. 5 and 6 were actually done by the same people that did Arcana Hearts, you know the all girl fighting game.

I really don't know the future of Samurai Shodown as the games were developed by a specific team. K2 was absorbed into Capcom few years ago, so.... I'm not really a big of Examu either and wouldn't like for them to come back to pick up from where they left off.

Rival Schools on current gen? I am very happy about that.

BlackWolf4219d ago

Rival Schools!?! Where do I sign?

BlackIceJoe4218d ago

I so would enjoy being able to play Rival Schools again. So I can't wait to find out what is planned.

Kyosuke_Sanada4218d ago

Well you did it Capcom, you finally found a reason to interest my wallet......

In the words of Roberto, "KICK-UUU!!!! Heh Heh!"

Super Street Fighter 2 - Fei Long CPS1 version (found on Hyper SF2 A.E.)

Marvel vs Capcom 1 - Strider Theme, Ryu, and Roll

There should have been at least one Mick Gordon Killer Instinct theme on here.

Rebel_Scum689d ago

Should be some tunes from the first Mortal Kombat in any list tbh.

I really like the use of Mozart’s Dies Irae in Wolfgang Krausers stage in Fatal Fury 2.

azizlksa688d ago

Volcanic rim for Street Fighter 4 is probably my favorite stage theme

The Capcom Series Most in Need of Revival

Capcom recently revealed interest in reviving their dormant IPs, so it's time to look at which Capcom series would make sense to return.

Knightofelemia708d ago

Breath of Fire, Knights of the Round, Saturday Night Slam Masters, a proper Bionic Commando game, Ghosts and Goblins. I am all down for Dino Crisis loved 1 and 2 one thing I like about Capcom is their massive library of games that need to be brought back to life. Next to Konami, Namco, Sega, old Squaresoft, Capcom was and is another one of my favorite developers. I would like it if Disney would just let Capcom make a Marvel game or two or Disney should let Capcom handle some Disney games. Capcom pulled of some great games with both Disney characters and Marvel characters.

All those plus Rival Schools, Powerstone, Darkstalkers, Dungeons and Dragons and Aliens vs Predator.

Terry_B707d ago

Rival Schools, Darkstalkers, Captain Commando, Dino Crisis and Breath of Fire.

CrimsonWing69707d ago

I feel like Darkstalkers will get SJWd, but I still want it

RyanShutup707d ago

The Japanese seem to be immune to that bullshit... so far at least anyway.

shinoff2183707d ago

Breath of fire would be number one choice.

Glad to see it getting some love in the comments. I loved these games 1 through 4.
Not dragon quarter

Godmars290707d ago

Dark Stalkers, any fighting game - or side scroller - really, just not with SF's current art direction.
