    “Pales in comparison to Toshinden”?! That’s an absolute joke even back then, and all the more hilarious now that Toshinden is all but forgotten.

    What an underrated Capcom game. Darkstalkers will always hold a special niche place in my heart.

    Capcom absolutely would NOT have used that name for Sasquatch. "Yaoi" has VERY different meaning in Japan.

    SF and Darkstalkers is basically like the simpsons and futurama.

    I remember how some people thought 3d fighters made 2d fighters obsolete.

    I not only want you to cover Nightwarriors: Darkstalkers Revenge, but also Vampire Savior/Darkstalkers 3! Heck, I want so much more Darkstalkers content, I’ll take coverage of their “sequels” and the various collections. Thank you for giving much deserved love and exposure to this series!

    I was amazed at the Darkstalkers games. And I gotta be honest, out of all the characters, I always liked Jon Talbain, even if he is underrated.

    Sad that Capcom has basically abandoned this franchise. It is my favorite fighting game because of its story world and lore. They could do so much with it.

    Rival Schools would make an interesting video.

    Please continue the history of Darkstalkers, and Primal Rage could be cool to so a overview of in the future.

    Hm, Rikuo is strangely attractive for a fishman.

    Darkstalkers was my favorite 2d fighting series ever. And I'm a MASSIVE sfa3 fan.

    Just wonderful! Got some thrills here. I was there at the arcades when this game came out, and what we saw was a revolution. We would look down upon the SF series and see it as no longer attractive and fun. We'd learn how to play with each and every character. That bloody machine would drain us out of our pocket money day after day.

    I wrote to Capcom when I was 8, asking when a new Street Fighter game will come out. They sent me back a postcard saying there are no plans for future Street Fighter games, but that I should head to my arcade and check out Darkstalkers. My local bowling alley didnt have it. But they did soon have Children of the Atom....

    This is one of my favorites capcom fighter games. It was simliar to Red Earth. People overlooked this game at time just like they did Street Fighter 3. It was really unappreciated. Thanks for looking back on this game and hopefully you have time to cover the sequels. Its doubtful capcom will remake or revisit this game or add most them to future fighters.

    Visually, this blew me away at the time and made me drop SSF2T in a heartbeat.
