New, original Capcom 2D fighter coming soon photo

Here's some news. Ready? Capcom will soon be announcing a new and original 2D fighter. That's it. That's all of the information we have. This has been confirmed over at a fiery teaser Web site, found over at Capcom's official Japanese page.  

The page simply says, amidst flames: 

The first original Capcom fighting game in 3 years finally makes its debut.

When? Where? What? Oh dear, the anticipation burns. It's likely an arcade game, and it's likely we'll be hearing more about it shortly. Keep your pants on and speculate away.

Still holding ut hope for Street Fghter 4...don't care what the 'original' means.


Also an alternate would be DC vs Capcom :)

Marvel is whored out to another developer at the moment :(

Street Fighter IV or a new Vs. game of some kind is my bet. For some reason, I doubt it's a Marvel-related game, since Capcom didn't want to negotiate rights further to get Marvel vs. Capcom 2 online for Xbox Live.

a whole new hd street fighter (not just a remix) would be very welcome.

Fuck Streetfighter, you guys get the chance to dream up an original 2D beat em up from Capcom, and you come up with Streetfighter. Fuck that.

I would infinitely prefer a whole new set of characters, new world, new tone, new fighting style, the lot.

Yes, keep in mind that this is teasing an ORIGINAL 2D fighter. I've heard rumors of a Street Fighter IV coming, but I don't think this is it.

I am 100% sure this is not IV...look they do not want to over shadow Super Turbo HD Remix...

Yeah, they're going to be so ballsy, that they skip 4.

Just wait and see.

What makes you guys think this will be a 2D fighter? Is that what the web site says?

Anyway, after Capcom Figthing Jam, my expectations are pretty low. Sammy vs Capcom was suppose to come out years ago and never did. Maybe that's what this is. If so, I will buy this game on day one.

Last Sammy vs Capcom news I ever read

But it's probably just going to be Capcom Fighting Jam 2, with all new old sprites , all new old shabby gameplay, and all new $50 price tag for almost all old content.

Capcom has burned me one too many times for me to get my hopes up.

Thank the fucking gods! I was starting to think that the fighting genre was being completely ignored by developers. Here's hoping it comes out within a year.

It's about time. Now, they just need to make sure it stays in 2D. Has Capcom ever made a good 3D fighter? Sheesh.

a fighter featuring characters from their original NES games would be welcome, like the Noid vs. Scrooge McDuck, or Little Nemo vs. Baloo...

make it happen Capcom. make. it. happen.

My sources on the inside say it's going to be based on the movie Labyrinth staring David Bowie. Some speculate that the codpiece alone might give it an AO rating.

It's either that or The Last Dragon...

I will try to stay hopeful.

Really though, no port of Warzard but release of Capcom Fighting Jam on all three consoles makes me feel as though Capcom hates me.

Tech Romancer was a badass 3D robot fighting game by Capcom, son.

Huh? I missed it. What original 2D fighter from Capcom came out 3 years ago? (I don't count CFE, because that was a compilation of Capcom fighters). No, really. I want to know.

Maybe a new JoJo game. If its truley original, I plan on seeing every SF fanboy bitch and moan because Ryu isn't in it. Its about time Capcom got to doing something awesome. Maybe it will be a really good Final Fight fighter. Not like the abomination that was released a while back.

sk33t sk33t sk33t!!!1!1 OMG I HOP DANTE AND SEPHIRTOH ARE IN IT, TEHY ARE AWESUM!!!!!11!!!!1!

Fuck it better come out first on arcade as we really need some decent new fighters to keep the punters happy.
I cried when CAPCOM quit the arcade scene.

That abomination free touch speaks of was called Final Fight Revenge and was based on the STV board, thats the SEGA TITAN VIDEO arcade board that was based on the Saturn chipset.
As far as I know a bunch of interns built that sucker not CAPCOM.

Holy fuck holy fuck holy fuck holy fuck.

I simultanious pee'd, shat and came in my pants. I wonder how they're going to do it, their last good original not VS game (SFII) was amazing. If this is I'm the level of that, I SHALL BE VERY PLEASED.

And please god, let it be 2D like the URL leads me to believe.
