E3 Fighting game announcement speculation

I'll going with a new Tatsunoko. MT Framework we know handles the vs series really well. So there is already resources that can be reused (for the Capcom side). Redo some levels, beef up the rooster by about 12-15 characters then a sequel should maintain a modest dev cost. Additionally we'd have an exclusive fighter for Wii U (and likely 3DS using an updated version of the previous games engine with the added benefits of MT Framework mobile). Though, I'd only expect to see it at the Nintendo conference as part of a 3rd party sizzle reel or logo and maybe some small additional stuff at Capcom's booth and a full unveil at Capcom's Summer Jam or whatever later.

Maybe a XBLA/PSN/NiN re-release JoJo.

A new Guilty Gear I think is likely.

Also expect new TE sticks for the Wii U

I would love if this happens. TvC was amazing and Joe the Condor is the biggest badass alive. I need another fighting game where I can play as him.
 
I'm hoping for JoJo HD TBH...if there'll also be a JPN release, the better too. I'd double dip in this case tho, but would play the JPN ver.~
 
I'd be down with something TvC related. Likeliest possibility I can think of for that is a port of some sort of Ultimate All Stars, though.

BIRD MISSILE IS THE ANSWER TO EVERYTHING

I mean, yes, yes it is needed. I‘d be fine with it being Wii U/360/PS3.
 
Their next game will be street fighter 5 and is pretty much the only thing they could deliver worth announcing at E3 besides some nintendo based versus game. But even that would be a low budget side project like darkstalkers.
 
this.

they just blamed saturation on the poor sales of SF x T. why would they make another one so quickly?

Because ironically poor sales of SfxT has lessened the problem of saturation...because of the saturation.

When they announce SF5 it'll still be like 9 months to a year before it is released (no doubt full of character reveal bullshit). By then the timing will be about right.
 
<3 TvC fans

I wouldn't mind a sequel. But seeing how even the original arcade release in Japan didn't exactly top popularity charts, I don't think we'll see a sequel.

Sadly yeah.

Which is kinda weird, because in the trade shows/arcade showoffs it's one of the top rated games. Then again it was made prior to Gundam Vs Extreme.
 
There will be no more MvC3 announcements. Week after week we get reconfirmation that they're putting Marvel on the back burner, which logically makes sense. Let the game breathe. The only MvC3 related thing that is possible is DLC. But even still, Niitsuma's team has moved on to another non-MvC project. Very recently though, they probably don't have much to share. Im not clear on where Marvel-only fighting game rumours began but I still highly doubt it.

SFV is far away. No chance, maybe 2-4 years from now, going by Ono's word. CvS3 isn't happening because SNK won't cooperate. Or some other political nonsense of the sort. Everyone wants TvC2. Nobody will get it. Shonen Jump vs. Capcom is a licensing nightmare and they won't bother.

What's NRS up to? For some reason I anticipate an MK Wii U as some sort of bargaining chip to the hardcore by Nintendo. Is the Vita port out yet?

My guesses, in order of likelihood:
- Likely nothing because we always seem to be wrong when trying to predict this shit.
- New Playstation Smash Bros reveals and trailers
- New DOA5 trailer and reveals
- JoJo's HD. All but confirmed that it exists, and is set to be released this year.
- SFxTK DLC. That's not on disc. Will be a #gamechanger. Assuming the old contract is still in place, I doubt we'll see a Super SFxTK. For financial reasons too.
- Darkstalkers IV. A teaser, CG. Due 2013 to fill "robust" roadmap Capcom has for FGs. Likely SFxTK team is working on it.
- Whatever Ono is working on at Capcom Vancouver
- Something new for TKxSF
- New Capcom crossover. Likely handled by Niitsuma's team. The wild card. Capcom has a tendency to do some weird things and I feel like whatever the next versus game is, it's gonna be some left field stuff.
- UMvC3X
- GG revival
- Nintendo pretending like Smash 3DS/Wii U is a current thing to show off
- Nintendo actually showing off Smash 3DS/Wii U
- Nintendo vs. Capcom
 
don't the fighting game announcements usually happen at AOU?

There were at least 4 announced at last year's E3. 2 Smash Bros games and 2 Tekken games for 3DS and Wii U.

this.

That's just PR bullshit. They're not going to say "Yeah, we royally fucked up with SFXT on so many levels, let me tell ya.".
 
Capcom has something planned for EVO but they're not sure what it is yet or the form it will take. Could just be something new for something already announced, like a game at E3.

Announcements at E3 make a lot more sense than ones at EVO. They can just use EVO for more reveals, etc. The media is already expecting DSIV at E3 too.
 
I want a fighter from someone unexpected... EA

For games from SNK, ASW, Examu, etc., new game announcements are almost always revealed at Japanese events or publications. I don't think they do much besides have playable copies of their games and english versions of their trailers. The bigger companies like Capcom, Namco, Nintendo, any non-Japanese dev, and sometimes Tecmo often reveal their stuff at the Western events.
 
lol they just re-announced GGXX port game. Plus it will be rebalanced.


I don't expect any fighting games but Sony All Stars.
 
UMK9/MK10/MKX/MK2

Some form of update to 9 with a lot of little fixes, 2D hitboxes, trades, toggles for all the kombat kodes in the options menu, better online, and a new story mode and some other things that 9 was lacking like endurance, some kind of versus CPU, and a training mode that actually works as intended.

Also new characters. Boraicho, Havik, Frost, Tremor, Goro, Mavado, Robo Smoke, Reiko, Tanya, and a few completely new characters.

I'm a little surprised it took this long for someone to mention a new Mortal Kombat game. That seems to be likely for an appearance along with whatever Capcom and Namco has up their sleeves.

With the recent resurgence of fighting games I'd like to see a brand new fighting game get announced at E3, preferably not tied to an existing game or TV license. Can't really think of who I'd like to see behind it but I want somebody to take that chance.
 
Rage of the Dragons XBLA/PSN port please. For all the love & justice that is right in the universe, I want to play this game again!!!

:(
 
Interested in Smash, but i'm satisfied with what's currently on the market for traditional fighters. There's not a single doubt in my mind that they won't show a teaser for Smash like they did for Brawl.
SHOWA TIEM!

-edit-

I am interested in the Guilty Gear that's coming out, but not really interested in new fighters.
 
Thought the thread title meant the organizers behind E3 were trying to fight any speculation about game announcements lol
 
MS will win me over if they can make a Killer Instinct 3 as good as the Mortal Kombat reboot.
I might even finally get an Xbox for this. ;)
 
Street Fighter IV with Shinkiro's art style would be day #1 for me. Also sign me up for a new Dark Stalkers!

Edit: And it's probably never going to happen but I've been waiting for Mortal Kombat VS. Street Fighter since it was an April's joke in a magazine in the early 90s.

That game's pertty meh dude. I mean the chick in white is faptastic but otherwise...pretty meh game.
...now the Neo Geo Double Dragon fighting game? Sign me the fuck up on that SNK!
 
Demanding a new fg with sprites, preferably as anime and sadlife as possible.

Gust FG onegai.
 
i believe it's almost time for SEGA to reveal VF6.
if not in this E3, 99.9% in next JAMMA in September (at least the first glimpse of it).
Announce VF6 the day VF5FS finally comes to consoles? That does not seem like a good idea.

While not an anime, KOF13 is a recent release and has very pretty sprite based art style to it and is regarded as a very good and honest fighting game.
 
GG:XX:TMC:^C:R port to XBLA/PSN (or it/^C being updated before release) since it's now loctests.

Meanwhile: DOA5 alpha demo with all four characters is released on PSN/XBLM for everyone to download and Hayashi appologizes for putting it behind his turd that was NG3.

P4U is released RIGHT NOW in a surprise Sega Saturn twist.

Anything else (read: Capcom) I can't give a damn about because fuck Capcom and it's yearly "upgrades."

KOF13 sprites are nice, but not anime enough. I'm talking Vanguard Princess levels, here.
 
I would love a Tatsunoko vs Capcom 2, but yeah that's a pipe dream.

I'd be shocked if Super Street Fighter x Tekken Wii U Edition isn't announced.
 
I'm still waiting for the following.

Eternal Champions (a remake).
Jump Perfect Stars (Shonen Jump's crossover fighter).
Bushido Blade 3 (just imagine what they could be done with modern capabilities).
