Capcom confirmed today that Darkstalkers Resurrection would be released on March 12/13, 2013 for the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live, respectively. It'll cost $14.99 or 1,200 Microsoft points.

The game was previously delayed from its February 7th release to improve the online functionality, and ensure an accurate representation of the original Darkstalkers arcade experience.

As today is February 14th, the gang released a set of Valentine's Day cards and some new character strategy videos for Anakaris and B.B. Hood, which you can find below.

Third card should be "Wish you were her" if we are going with Simpsons references.

"If Resurrection proves a hit, we can probably expect Darkstalkers 4 in the not-too-distant future." - Joystiq

It won't be a "hit" under Capcom standards (See, e.g., MvC:Origins). Enjoy it DS fans b/c you'll unlikely to see a DS4.

@15 I'm not doubting that... I'm just saying enjoy it while you can.

OTOH, I can't get to enjoy one of my favorite childhood fighters b/c dumba$$ MS won't let RARE do anything but Kinect crap and won't even license it for someone else to port Killer Instinct to XBLA.

But, that's okay, MS not really caring about the FGC made me buy a PS3 (and repurchase SSFIV: AE, SFxT and MK(for Kratos)) and I don't plan on buying the next MS console...

It's the Nightmare Train...A stage from Vampire Savior, iirc. It might be called something else, though. Nightmare Express?

@14 we dont care, DS4 would probably suck anyways. Just give me VS with GGPO.

Cant wait for this. VSav is the best fighter Capcom has ever made, hands down. It's got everything.

Idc if Capcom ever makes a DS4, they'd likely just ruin it.

I hear the online will be the same they used for MvCO which should be a good thing hopefully.

Digital titles haven't been doing that well lately, I know Guilty Gear was highly anticipated but didn't take off due to bad netcode and the fact an update for the game was announced before it came out. People thought JoJo's was too expensive, Origins got overshadowed by UMvC3 and none of the 3 Sega fighters outside of maybe Sonic the Fighters did well even though they were 5 bucks.

Good luck Capcom, you'll need it. I am expecting a report about two months after this comes out with Capcom telling us it sold lower than expected, which will lead to them ultimately not wanting to take risks with DS4 or other digital ports.

The Morrigan & Lilith card is simply perfect.

I'll take a guess and say that the EU may get this game in (late?) April.

It won't be dead in a month, there's still a big VS community for this game,yeah it's not an EVO head liner but its still very much played here in the U.S.,EU and especially JPN.

Felica gets a nice back scratching with very sharp nails. Like Morrigan & Lilith picture.
