Guess what? A videogame developer is working on a videogame, and he's excited.
Here's the part of the post that is news.
Yoshinori Ono, producer of the Street Fighter 4 games, pitched a game to Capcom's head of Research and Development Keiji Inafune. Inafune gave him the go ahead. Rumors danced around that the game would be based on Darkstalkers franchise, but nothing was specified. Whatever it is, Ono thinks it's going to be big, so big that he'd say that "SF4 is nothing" compared to this new project.
What could be bigger than the triumphant return of the biggest fighting game series ever? As great as a new Darkstalkers game could be, it's hard to imagine that it could out-class Super Street Fighter 4.
Could it be that rumored Tekken Vs Street Fighter title? An all-Capcom fighting MMORPG that makes your farts smell like strawberries? Even that wouldn't be as big as SF4 by most fighting-fan's standards.
Ono: Something bigger than Super Street Fighter 4 coming- [Eventhubs]

Now if he was magically working on, say, Killer Instinct somehow(I *did* say magically) I'd be more excited for this. But no, it will be some obscure game that will make a few people jizz and others say 'oh, cool I guess'.
OR IT COULD BE AMAZING! Blow me away, Ono-san. Oh yeah, if its SFvTekken, that would be good too.
Power Stone 3

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
I would literally lose my shit, then proceed to fling it everywhere if that were to happen. That's how primitive I would become at the mere idea of that becoming a reality.(For those that don't know me, I mean this in a GOOD way)
Conspiracy theory: Ed Boon and Ono-san secretly got together, Ono said 'look man, if you wanna make it big, go back to basics like we did. SFIV is basically a 2.5D SF2! Oh, and if you ever want MKvSF to happen, you gotta go back to 2D or NO DEAL' To which Ed Boon replied; '(stroking his goatee)Hmmm, your ideas are intriguing, I would like to subscribe to your newsletter. Also, I would like the trillions of dollars that mashup would make.' BAM! MK9 is a throwback to MK2 in 2.5D.
MKvSF confirmed!!!
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Still, I doubt Capcom would go for it.
My guess is ssfIV super deluxe costume pack.
Sorry Ed Boon!
Ryu's fireball Ultra would be like a nuclear bomb(nukes the player, leaves nothing but bones/dust/etc)
Blanka's Fatality would be the same/similar to Raiden's.
Fei Long's Fatality could be similar to Kano in MK1.
Hell, Seth's Ultra in SF4 is basically a ripoff of Sektor's Fatality!
Dear videogamegods, please make this happen!
So gabe would be free and when you use Bobby there's a dollar charge every time you hit a button???
CONFIRMED......in my dreams :(
Otherwise Darkstalkers vs. Mortal Kombat. Or GTFO.
As much as I want it, a new Darkstalkers by itself is not bigger than Street Fighter IV. And quite honestly, I don't think Street Fighter and MK would go together good enough. Darkstalkers seems like a better fit, and it'd be killing multiple birds with one stone.
LOL, that cracked me up, thanks Holmes, as for the news, well, i hope it's not a fighting game cuz MvC3 seems set to be the indisputed king of fighting games on 2011 and it would be dumb to try to go against it head on, specially since it's being released by your own company.
@epic-koryuken: "New final fight or gtfo"
Oh Jesus Christ no!, did you forget what they did to the last 2 games on that IP?.
No Liu Kang in my SF thanks.
So maybe that's what this is?
That would be bigger than ssfiv. Saying something like that starts us on this impossible road of expectations.
Super HD revolutionized Mega Man would be bigger also
Tourettes Guy vs Chad Warden or GTFO!!!!!
GT-R vs GTO?
GTA vs GT5???
Ok that was just silly. I'm gtfo!!!
