If you've kept your ear to the ground regarding all things Darkstalkers, you may have heard rumors that the PlayStation version of the arcade original is on its way to PSN. We're happy to say that's definitely the case, and Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors is currently slated for a late November release...

DarkStalkers first hit arcades in 1994 and came to the original PlayStation in early 1996. That was a pretty good time frame for Capcom fighters, as both Super Street Fighter II Turbo and Street Fighter Alpha came to the US in that same period. In fact, Darkstalkers laid the groundwork for many ideas that would be put to use in Alpha and other fighting games moving forward.

Instead of world warriors or trained martial artists, Darkstalkers pitted various monsters against in each other, which meant gorgeous, inhuman beasties battling in one of the weirdest, coolest-looking fighting games on the market. Its popularity led to sequels, comics, and uh, a cartoon that I'm probably not allowed to talk about.

Plus we got this tie-in song, which is something else

We'll take a closer look at it once the launch date is upon us (currently set as Nov 29), so be sure to check back for a live stream!
