All is quiet on the "historic fighters" Capcom front. In a conversation with
VG247, US business chief Chris Svennson said that Capcom is thrilled with the performance of their recent fighting game titles, but they are not working on anything -- a follow-up or DLC -- at the moment. Of course, the developer is open to doing more with the successful titles in the future.
“I’ll be honest: right now we have nothing in development,” Svennson said, “but we’ve been pleased with how our fighting games have performed and our re-releases have performed, so I’d be shocked if we didn’t explore that further.”
Capcom showed us what it was like to live in a time warp with a recent deluge of fighting game releases, kicking off in late 2008 with the lauded downloadable
Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix and ending, temporarily, with the upcoming release of
Tatsunoko versus Capcom. Svennson called this a “very short window.”
“We had
HD Remix,
Street Fighter IV,
MvC2, we’ll have
Tatsunoko in the pipeline, and we have who knows what’s coming that we can’t talk about yet, but suffice to say there’s been a lot of fighting activity out of Capcom in the last year-and-a-half, and we probably need to give all of those products a little room to breathe and perform before we do some more,” Svennson said.
Good plan, Svennson. But when it is time to revisit, please consider Zangief mini-skirt downloadable content for both
SF IV and
HD Remix. Call us weird, but we just really want to see the rough Russian's feminine side.

Anyway, good for them. It's nice to see a company that has the gumption to do what it's fans ask, but enough common sense to know when to put on the brakes. That's such a rare quality in devs these days.
I still need to buy one of the new old Street Fighter games. :/
Bastards. No Project Justice online for 360/PS3...bastards.

YouTube it if you don't get the reference.
Get to it! *cracks whip*
Street Fighter 4: Championship Edition?
GET ON IT CAPCOM!
Also, I wish they would call it SFIV: Champion Edition for old boners sake.
My Kyosuke/Hideo/Gan squad needs a new lease on life!
