..completely disgust me. Earlier in a Facebook group, I posted my rant about how Capcom Fighting Collection is including another variant of Street Fighter II and a game that isn't even a fighting game to begin with (Puzzle Fighter) instead of Power Stone, and some of the responses I've gotten are just....wow....I wish I was making this up but I'm not. One person said that they don't care if another version of SF2 is being included and that the more it gets re-released the better, and that he doesn't care that Puzzle Fighter isn't really a fighting game and that it deserves to be included. And this other person said that Power Stone can't get re-released because it is "not a classic", and it sold poorly, and that it can't get re-released just because it ran on the SEGA NAOMI arcade board. How the hell is that preventing it from getting re-released? He also had the nerve to ask me if I even bought let alone heard of the Power Stone Collection that was released on PSP, which I have, and bought twice. Once in physical form, and again digitally for my PSVita. And who gives a shit about sales figures? Nearly every single Neo Geo AES game sold poorly over here in the USA, and many of those games are highly regarded as classics. And if they weren't, they wouldn't have gotten re-releases on all the current gen consoles. These people are so fixated on Street Fighter they could release a plastic bag with feeces in it that has "Street Fighter" written on it, and they would buy it as quickly as they could. Street Fighter has become nothing but a gigantic cash cow. Like a parasite that can't be avoided. And they are also using the Capcom Fighting Collection to shove Street Fighter's 35th Anniversary down our throat even more. And what about Mega Man?! It's that series' 35th Anniversary this year too. Is Capcom doing anything in honor of the occasion? Or are they just gonna milk Street Fighter some more all year? Ever since Megaman Legends 3 got cancelled back in 2011, Capcom is just digging themselves further into the ditch they are in. But I also think that Inafune deserves part of the blame for acting childish and leaving Capcom not too long after the game's announcement and before development could be completed. Not counting their previous compilations of older titles, Megaman 11 was better than anything they had been releasing since MML3, Megaman Universe and Megaman Online were all cancelled. The Capcom we have today are Capcom in name only. All the people who made them what they were in their heyday aren't there anymore. Fujiwara, Okamoto, Nishiyama, Inafune, Mikami, Kamiya, they're all gone. They all went and joined other game companies or created their own. And these modern day Capcom fans don't care, and proudly declare they want more of what they have already gotten which is really sad. Just another reminder of why I stopped being such a hardcore Capcom simp and stopped caring about them as much as I used to. *sigh* That's the end of my rant.
