I'd buy that (again). I bought Limbo on disc, heh.

It probably wouldn't of make too much of a difference, but I think releasing the game without the full roster drove some people away. If they are going for pure sales, these are things that need to be considered.
I still want more fighting game compilations though. Rival Schools, Slam Masters, Star Gladiator need some love.
But I don't think this will affect the future of Darkstalkers 4. It seems pretty obvious that the game is already in development.

True that. Hell, I would pay $60 for such a god tier compilation with no remorse.

They were looking into doing an A4 (using the old sprites), so I'd expect them to wait until that projects in the queue before doing an update of those 2 games.
Power. Stone. BOTH GAMES. CAPCOM PLS
XvS, Marvel vs. SF, Xmen CoTA, SFA series, RedEarth, CvS2, CFJ (I know, I know)
I'd kill for good online in XvS, SFA, CvS2, and Redearth.
I'm pretty sure no Japanese developer has even the slightest idea how profitable PC games are in the west. Well, From Software does, though only because of one of the most aggressive fan campaigns ever created.
Can you even imagine how successful the Persona series would be if it were released on the PC?

I would buy a special edition disc release in NA as well, do it capcom! ALso DLC to get the extra characters into Savior.
Anyways, I was hoping for a SF Alpha collection. Maybe that hope is smashed a little now with these sales.
The big thing to me was a hope that Warzard/Red Earth could get released, as that didn't have a home release ever.
I wanted them to release First Generation/2nd Impact somehow, maybe as DLC for 3S: OE.
Lower on my list was maybe Rivals Schools and Powerstone and Plasma Sword.
Also my burning dream of Cyberbots 2, still burns, heh.

Yes, got mine the Monday after release (shipped March 14). Used the FedEx option.
Yours might be stuck in customs, but that's a long delay. What shipping did you use?
Yeah, I'd expect FedEx to be quick. I always use an economy box, and it usually takes a week. That's why I'm surprised by the length of time this time around. I'll give them another week, and then go complaining to customer support.

i'd totally buy this on pc, never played the games before. Acquiring a digital ps3 game this late in the gen doesn't appeal to me at all.

Yeah.... I forgot about this completely. The US Darkstalkers audience has waited like fifteen years for a tournament viable console version of VSav and they finally get one.... only for BC to be confirmed dead for the upcoming system a month later. This will NOT help MvC:O and Resurrection's sales.
Yea they kinda just sent this game out to die. Hopefully it doesn't have any effect on DS4(it shouldn't). Anyways though I tried playing ranked today on PS3 and it took me forever to get a match lol. If any of PSN GAF wants to add me feel free Marz1991....still learning the game and stuff.
Also just discovered the YouTube replay feature....so cool.

Someone should update the OP noting that the patch hits on April 12th.
Thanks. Mostly play local, but with fight request added to training & arcade, I'm more likely to leave that on and play online.

Does not compute.

We'd need figures to get a good handle/idea of how well it sold to begin with, for that matter, wonder how well the Japanese release did...
EDIT: I'll make a note of the update later, thanks for the heads up.

Could easily be 100 copies for all we know.

Patch is up! Fight requests added, add me to play sometime. PSN: Jotamide
Way more than that. The leader boards is over 100k.
100k, no freebies, and not enough time for folks to roll alt accounts.
It's sold better than VF- Capcom has no reason to complain about sales if this is true.
100k is easily what I'd expect the game to do.

Capcom: "It's not enough. Give us your soul."
Oh dear. I actually bought the PS1 version of DS3 for my Vita a few days ago with some spare change in my PSN wallet, it was my first time playing it. Made an LTTP thread too. I'm really enjoying it, having a fighter on the go is fantastic, so I think I should double dip and get this as well.

It's also number 3 for march as far as sales go. Not sure what Capcom expected.
Sega was happy with VF doing around that number.

Is the 100K from XBL or PSN?
Seeing as it sold more than 100,000 worldwide at least, I'd say that's all fine and dandy.
Capcpom are just cray cray with their sales expectations. The game could sell 500,000 worldwide within the next few months in total and they'll still say it didn't sell half as expected.

which leaderboards? 100k is plenty. these guys are getting greedy.

Must have sold a ton of units on PSN. It must have taken Skullgirls like six months to approach those numbers and that is a completely new IP.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. That's a lot better than what I was expecting honestly.
Wish more of my friends picked up DS, I'm just glad we got a good rerelease with online.
