Running the danger of sounding like a conspiracy theorist, all this "let's make a mockery out of mega man" trend in Capcom started right after Inafune left the company. From the cancellation of Legends 3 to ths. Coincidence?
Inafune did a really candid interview right after he left Capcom. I wish I could find the link, but I remember reading it on Neogaf. He laid waste to Capcom and the Japanese industry as a whole.
Also, the guy who directed Okami called this game a cynical DLC platform on Twitter a couple days ago. A couple guys hacked the shit out of it when it released and found an obscene amount of locked content, most of it severely affecting the gameplay because of the stupid gem system.
Capcom has the reverse Midas Touch when it comes to Steet Fighter. I hope they leave DarkStalkers alone.
sure he is. he's there to reassure gamers that capcom is on the joke, and that you don't have to feel embarrassed for buying street fighter vs. tekken.
>Let's drag one of our most important franchises through the mud
Capcom has been doing that to Megaman for a long time now. As much as I want Darkstalkers IV, maybe it'd be better for them to release a PSN only Darkstalkers III /Vampire Saviour with online play instead.
Assuming that even IS Megaman, yours is the most plausible explanation I've heard so far. That video is so deep in the uncanny valley it's nightmare fuel.
