Darkstalkers Resurrection

Darkstalkers Resurrection is a 2013 fighting video game developed by Iron Galaxy Studios and published by Capcom. It is a compilation of two classic Capcom's 2D fighting games: Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge (1995) and Vampire Savior: The Lord of Vampire (1997), which are the second and third of the Darkstalkers series. The game features HD visuals, online multiplayer, replay sharing, spectator mode, and in-game unlockables. It was released on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade as a downloadable title, and received a positive critical reception, though the publisher claimed it has failed commercially.
