It was spotted among the ESRB ratings database. Right now it’s set to delight fans of the early 1996 PSone original this November 29th, but it’s strictly provisional right now.
Rumours started flying when a rating for Darkstalkers was found for PSN, well Capcom are ”happy to say that’s definitely the case,” as it heads for PSN by the end of the month.
”DarkStalkers first hit arcades in 1994 and came to the original PlayStation in early 1996,” recall Capcom.
”That was a pretty good time frame for Capcom fighters, as both Super Street Fighter II Turbo and Street Fighter Alpha came to the US in that same period. In fact, Darkstalkers laid the groundwork for many ideas that would be put to use in Alpha and other fighting games moving forward.”
”Instead of world warriors or trained martial artists, Darkstalkers pitted various monsters against in each other, which meant gorgeous, inhuman beasties battling in one of the weirdest, coolest-looking fighting games on the market. Its popularity led to sequels, comics, and uh, a cartoon that I’m probably not allowed to talk about.”
Will you be scouring PlayStation Network by November’s end for some Darkstalkers brawling?
