« Capcom Confirms that Darkstalkers is Coming to PSN in November »

Capcom has confirmed that Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors will be coming to the Playstation Network in late November.  According to Capcom Unity, the version being offered is the Playstation version and not the arcade version or other later, better versions.  No word yet on price either, but if it follows other PSN PS1 releases it shouldn't be much more than a few dollars.  Is it too much to hope that Capcom is using this as a test for customer demand for the series? 

Here is a short rundown of the game, courtesy of Capcom Unity:

DarkStalkers first hit arcades in 1994 and came to the original PlayStation in early 1996. That was a pretty good time frame for Capcom fighters, as both Super Street Fighter II Turbo and Street Fighter Alpha came to the US in that same period. In fact, Darkstalkers laid the groundwork for many ideas that would be put to use in Alpha and other fighting games moving forward.

Instead of world warriors or trained martial artists, Darkstalkers pitted various monsters against in each other, which meant gorgeous, inhuman beasties battling in one of the weirdest, coolest-looking fighting games on the market. Its popularity led to sequels, comics, and uh, a cartoon that I'm probably not allowed to talk about.
