Capcom vs SNK 2 + Street Fighter III 3rd Strike

http://www.tsutaya.co.jp/item/game/view_g.zhtml?pdid=30028121

Hyper SF2 + Vampire: Darkstalkers Collection

Pretty decents packs IMHO, coming on Japan without confirmed date.

[shoo]

*rubs chin*

hmmmmmm

[CyberAkuma]

Yes, indeed...interesting.

Since I haven't already gotten the Vampire pack, I might as well see if I can wait for this collection and possibly get more bang for my buck.

[Hitaro0]

Maybe the US will get a CvS2 + Darkstalkers Collection disk (since Hyper SF2 and SF3:3 is already on the PS2 in the US, but not Japan according to Wikipedia).
Let's bomb Capcom with e-mails!

[KnightWarrior]

Sweet..I hope Darkstarkers Collection comes here

sf2 hf and 3s are in japan but u have to buy them seperately.

[Mixah]

HYPER?? Vampire??? :'( COME TO AMERICA!

[StuartHayden]

HYPER?? Vampire??? :'( COME TO AMERICA!

I second this.

[NewGen]

capcom and rehashes.

[debs]

seeing as i don't have a ps3 that can play ps2 games...and i don't own a ps2...
why is sony not pressuring capcom to make these available for d/l for ps3 owners??:confused:

i guess we're supposed to be content with the no name games that are available already, huh.

[Mixah]

I would really appreciate having a CotA - MvC collection.

^ why would they bother? Practically everyone owns a ps2.

[Cowdisease]

^ why would they bother? Practically everyone owns a ps2.The only practical reason would be to release them in a format that can run in HD resolutions. 480p is okay, but if you own an HDTV, it would be better to run those games in 720p.

[nGuman]

Vampire Saviour =) Vary Happy.

[Henaki]

i hope they release these in america for 20 dollars :)

don't worry ps2 games will be available on psn soon enough

[Neo DX90]

one wish, that I know probably won't come true, is for these games to have progressive scan support. It's just not convenient for me to switch TVs when I wanna play certain fighters. I've stopped playing some games just because of my laziness, haha.

[FlyMike]

Fuck. In a way, I'll be slick mad if Vampire Darkstalkers Collection comes here. I spent like $60 on it a few months ago. There's really not a Capcom game or collection that I would buy past this point. I think I own or have played them all to death. Maybe if they ported Project Justice to ps2.

If Sengoku Basara X came here, even with a $40 tag, I'd easily buy it though.

[robotchop]

haha aww dammit i just got the vampire darkstalkers collection today!! these collections look pretty cool.

[PozerWolf]

Wow, if the DarkStalkers pack came into the US, that'd be too good!

[metalmike31216]

I would really appreciate having a CotA - MvC collection.

I agree. They should release some stuff that hasn't already been released on PS2.

[Demon Dash]

Yes, I will deffinately purchase these games that I have in no way purchased in the past... If 3S doesn't come to the EU, well, yeah, they fail...

:rolleyes:

Seriously, when will you guys stop "asking" for a Marvel pack? It isn't happening, get over it...

:rolleyes:

[ulovemikeroch]

Wait, how are they releasing Cvs2? They don't have the SNK license/contract anymore, and they can't release anymore games pertaining to CVS or anything with SNK in it.

[4Play]

Let's bomb Capcom with e-mails!

I agree but won't it be better to e-mail or petition Sony of USA not capcom?

[CyberAkuma]

Wait, how are they releasing Cvs2? They don't have the SNK license/contract anymore, and they can't release anymore games pertaining to CVS or anything with SNK in it.

If I remember correctly, the statutes for the contract were that, while no more games are being made, the contract is good for whatever re-releases that either party might make.

Thus, if my understanding is correct, either party (SNK and Capcom alike) is free to re-release stuff as they deem fit. It's probably the only reason I could see them getting away with something like this.

Maybe if they ported Project Justice to ps2.

Seriously...I mean really, why the hell hasn't Capcom taken the 2.5 games in the Justice Gakuen/Rival Schools series, and put them in a "Capcom Pack" for the PS2, yet?

Batsu (and Akira, if trends go right along with the notion of how the roster is ported from CFA?) being in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, would make a nice case to hopefully release such a thing in the future. All I would ask is that Capcom go back and fix throws in PJ...

[Shishioh]

Fuck this rehashed trash. Bring on dat Plasma Sword and Project Justice!!

[The Grey Ghost]

Hey, I'm totally for a Darkstalkers collection! Though I'd also like to second a Rival Schools & Project Justice collection as well.

[valaris]

Project Justice pack for US ps2 would be great.

[SNAAAAKE]

whats the fucking point really ?? everyone and their momma owns 3s and cvs2 anyway. why not just release them for ps3 with network play instead. I'd pay good money for cvs2 with better/GGPO style network code. and keep roll cancel too I dont care..I JUST WANNA PLAY CVS2 !!

[valaris]

I've been looking for a reason to start playing since there's absolutely no one else that plays for a 300 mile radius. This would surely get me into it.

[SNAAAAKE]

yeah if they still have the rights to rerelase games then give us a reason to pay again..

[Mariodood]

I think it'd be sick if for this version of 3rd Strike they tried hard to make it even MORE arcade perfect. I mean they need to slow the game down a little to match the arcade speed and make Akuma's f+MP unthrowable.

[Rhio2k]

:rolleyes:

:rolleyes:

But i like the cookie...

I'm still waiting for a Hyper SFIII.

[DevilJin 01]

I remember CVS2.

Well if you asked Capcom they'd probably have nothing to say. Because it's just a simple case of negligence. PJ is like the bright and fun kid who's parents didn't nurture him enough. DS is his weird sister, who no one understands or ever tried to understand. Yet underneath all that obscurity is a load of potential. It was never realized so she sells her body to other men(games like MvC, CvS2, CFE, etc.) to make ends meet. PJ did a bit of man-whoring as well.

My point is, we could ask why. But what's the use when you know you've got a company who frequently has good franchises but chooses not to follow up on most of them except if they're DMC or RE, maybe MM. The resurgence of SF, and the development of TvC, even the release of SBX, does bring hope. But who's to say TvC won't suffer the same fate as CFA? That's why I believe a big future of fighters, especially Capcom branded, rests squarely on the success of SFIV. And if it bombs, Capcom's mindset will probably be, "if people don't play or purchase the most mainstream, then why are we wasting our time?" Then they'll start working on RE2HD Remix.

As for these collections/packs, they're great for you all who've yet to play or purchase a particular gem, but I recognize the plan at hand. Milk the last of various franchises, no, throw some of them together and squeeze them dry.

[Return of Shiki]

Because SNK aren't assholes about their videogame licenses unlike Marvel

I agree but won't it be better to e-mail or petition Sony of USA not capcom?

Sony of USA doesn't give a rat's ass about what's released on the PS2 anymore. Pretty much anything companies want can be released now.

Vampire Collection deserves to be released in some way for the US PS2. I already have the Japanese version myself, so I don't plan on buying it myself but...

[Kung Fu Man]

Just on a hunch, but someone may do well to verify that it isn't Vampire Chronicle that's being released with Hyper SF2 (which would make a lot more sense) as opposed to DS Collection.

[DaveNK]

interesting, I already have all those titles But I may get them just to have them. Lets hope they come to NA

but I think capcom should at least come out with a vs series collection

[Joe Asakura]

If "Street Fighter Anniversary Collection" and "Street Fighter Alpha Anthology" were recently re-printed (after I STUPIDLY paid $50 for a new copy of SFAC at the beginning of this year......****), then why not do the same with CVS2???

Oh, and I doubt that the Vampire Collection will come over here so late in the game. Capcom has long since had the opportunity to bring it over here, and they just left it over in Japan.

[BaSiK_TeKniK]

where dat marvel?

[n8archer_XI]

CvS2 but no MvC2...what the hell

[Joe Asakura]

Capcom has long since lost the Marvel license, meaning they CAN'T re-print or sell any of their games that utilized the Marvel license, much less make another one with it. Hell, I don't think PS2/XB MvC2 was even re-printed in Japan, the land of re-prints and budget-priced re-releases. I believe their license with Marvel was a ten-year one, seeing as they first utilized it when they developed "The Punisher" in 1993. The XBox port of MvC2 came out in early 2003, and the expiring license didn't even allow them to insert XBOX Live features into the port.

Obviously Capcom & SNK share a more friendlier relationship than Capcom does with Marvel.

[n8archer_XI]

CObviously Capcom & SNK share a more friendlier relationship than Capcom does with Marvel.Capcom is on some doo-doo sauce; damn, they just keep churnin' out the haterade...

[pherai]

Capcom is on some doo-doo sauce; damn, they just keep churnin' out the haterade...

More like Marvel is a much more sought after license than SNK, so it's bound to be a bit more strict. Everything I've ever read on the matter said both parties were happy with the collaborations.

[Half-Ro]

Man, I wish capcom would stop playing around and drop all the fav's on one disc,
cvs2, mvc2, st, sfa3, vs, 3s Arcade perfect. Done. One stop shopping would be nice for tournaments too.

Having them on ps3 wouldnt be bad either lol

[Joe Asakura]

I seriously doubt they'll re-release the last four (minus the Marvel & Vs. games) that you mentioned on retail again. Not after having already released virtually arcade-perfect SF compilations for the PS2 & original XBox. If anything, any future re-releases will come via the PSN/XBL route.

[Dragonsend]

I've got to get my hands on these new packs. Thanks for the info.

[Ouroborus]

will they fix vega's wall dive and og sagats tiger shot in this version of hyper street fighter 2?

i heard they did in the capkore release so maybe i should get that instead

[Shishioh]

Capcom kids paying for the same game more than twice=Priceless.

Why don't you ask for something that hasn't been released on home consoles or something that hasn't been rehashed with no logical progression in gameplay.

I said Plasma Sword and some dickhead negged me knowing damn well it made sense. Give a moron $3 and just see what he does. Get a premium account at SRK.

[Tetsuosan]

Capcom is on some doo-doo sauce; damn, they just keep churnin' out the haterade...

Yo I'm gonna put that shit on my sig if that's aite with you.

[Person-Man]

Mass-produced CvS2 + Darkstalkers Collection games please! :smile:

Edit: About people bitchin about the rehashes, Capcom's fighting games are about the only games that are so good that they're worth rehashing.

[lw3]

what happaned to that website in the first post. i guess i got excited for nothing?

[FSgamer]

Mass-produced CvS2 + Darkstalkers Collection games please! :smile:
If they were to release those packs in US I think CvS2 + DarkStalkers Collection would make sense. We already have SFAC, DarkStalkers Collection was never released over here, and CvS2 is pretty hard to find these days.

[Nokato]

I'm so getting this...holy fuck in a handbasket.

Just import it--its not coming out here--people will just scoff at it and go play Halo or some highly popular 3-D bullshit.

I'm happy this is coming out finally.

[KnightWarrior]

Capcom should release DarkStalkers Collection here, SNK is doing it with there Fighters. So come on Capcom

[KING]

will they fix vega's wall dive and og sagats tiger shot in this version of hyper street fighter 2?

i heard they did in the capkore release so maybe i should get that instead

...doesn't make the game any better, consider CE bison and CE guile rules the roost.
