Fang-tastic brawler Darkstalkers may yet make a long-awaited comeback, if a new trademark registered by Capcom is anything to go by.
Darkstalkers debuted in the arcades back in 1994 and spawned numerous sequels, most of which were soon ported to PlayStation in the late 90s, as well as Sega Saturn. The most recent game, Darkstalkers Chronicle, hit PlayStation Portable in 2005.
The series has been on hiatus ever since, though this hasn’t stopped fans from amassing 100,000 requests for a revival as of March 2011.
In fact, Capcom’s Yoshinori Ono previously revealed that if the petition reaches 500,000 there might just be a chance the company will consider letting him make a new Darkstalkers game.
Not familiar with the series? Then you might want to check out Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors, which hit PlayStation Network as a PSone Classic back in November last year.
