I guess my standards are lower than I thought (I already knew this, I own a Vita) because I thought the demo was okay. Nothing special but drat.


EDIT: Kenka Bancho for beat em ups if you somehow haven't played it when it wasn't on PSP is good too.

Well, Uppers was done by the same developer.

They don't cancel the show as it's airing, they cancel or delay the BD releases. Happened with that hugely unpopular rotoscoped show a while ago.

What ballpark of pre-orders are we talking about with Uppers? Because I keep thinking they couldn't even get one thousand for this to happen.

It reminds me when Capcom released a trailer for a new Darkstalkers game, then released Darkstalkers Resurrection for the PS3 which was just a re-release of the original game. It wasn't even an HD remix. When nobody bought their lovely cash grab, Capcom decided nobody liked Darkstalkers anymore and canned the whole thing.

Wikipedia posted:

Darkstalkers Resurrection, known as Vampire Resurrection (ヴァンパイア リザレクション Vanpaia Rizarekushon?)[4] in Japan, is a 2013 video game developed by Iron Galaxy Studios and published by Capcom. It is a compilation of Capcom's two classic 2D fighting games in the Darkstalkers series, Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge (1995) and Darkstalkers 3 (1997).[1][5] The game features HD visuals, online multiplayer, replay sharing, spectator mode, and in-game unlockables. It was released in March 2013 as a downloadable title on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade[6][7] to a positive critical reception, though the publisher claimed it has failed commercially.

...

Darkstalkers Resurrection received universally positive reviews, resulting in the averaged ratings of more than 80% at both GameRankings and Metacritic for both platforms. However, Svensson announced that that while the game had appeared in digital bestseller top ten lists, it has not managed to sell enough copies to be considered commercially successful.[26]

It absolutely was an HD remix, and a good one at that. It is also the only way to get Night Warriors on a console outside of the Saturn.

I don't recall it being any different than the original game. Like at all. The Street Fighter II HD Remix was better.

There was a certain taboo that the developers decided, “it would be best to avoid,” but Satomi instead created a character that maximized the taboo. That character is still going strong.

so what will the taboo be?

How is this HD? I'm not saying it's a bad collection, it's a good one, but the actual DarkStalkers games are still 320x240 or whatever the hell. They did not redo sprites or anything. I'm confused.

Maybe I should've clarified; the ports are incredibly faithful with upscales. The games themselves aren't HD-upgraded, but everything else has been improved greatly, and there's the inclusion of online play mechanics (that apparently worked really well). My mistake on the HD visual problem.

I do think, though, that people's perception of the "popularity" of DS is greatly exaggerated.

I didn't know anyone in the fighting game scene who was super into it. Like, Morrigan is sort of iconic at this point but that's about it.

It's weird, I never thought of Japanese games operating so much off of preorder sales like that. Kinda reminds me of SpaceBaseDF9 minus the scam part.

The sales of otaku stuff tends to be mostly pre-orders. Kinda like AAA games. :v:

With that said, I can't think any other case of a game getting delayed due to low pre-orders. I suspect that they're kicking it into the next financial year to not blot a decent fiscal report. Don't be too surprised if the new release date winds up being early May.

Same here, I am thinking of raising a stink about it. It's very poor customer service to not honor a price. If they were out of stock, that's one thing. But for a preorder they can't really say that.

All I can find is a Hadoken article from a couple weeks ago saying they have sources saying there's going to be a revival next year and a bunch of sites reporting that article as a rumor but if it's true, that's pretty cool.
