Capcom’s Svensson says they’ll be re-releasing fewer fighters as they’ve run out

“New development in the form of updated versions of SF2, SF3, MvC2, MvC1, Marvel Super Heroes, Darkstalkers, Puzzle Fighter etc. Sadly, I think we’ve probably run the course of feasible titles here given the droppoff we’ve seen in sales with each new introduction.”

“It seems the novelty of such projects is wearing off even within just the fighting game community based upon the sales data of our last two launches. That said, we have been quite prolific in these areas (despite the assertion above that we haven’t) and it’s probably time for us to slow down anyway.”

– Capcom USA Senior VP Christian Svensson

I was always wondering when we’d start to see the drop-off in remakes and HD re-releases of old games, so maybe this news from Capcom is a clue that things will start to tire shortly. After all, we’ve gone through Ico, Metal Gear Solid, Street Fighter games, Resident Evil titles… and so many more! We’re bound to run down soon.
