Darkstalkers Not Quite Dead Yet?

Not to be confused with Darksiders, the unholy fusion of comic books, God of War and Zelda. Nor is this to be confused with any other sort of silly technique or work that could resemble it. This is Darkstalkers. What is Darkstalkers?

To illustrate as soundly as possible, Darkstalkers is Street Fighter 2 with monsters and special attacks. You know, before they made that last SF2 version. Is it dying out? Yoshinori Ono appears to not think so.

Capcom’s resident in-house nerd seems to be holding out hope for getting another Darkstalkers game out there. That, and just yesterday they signed a new copyright for Darkstalkers?

Is this just property protection? Or is Capcom finally going to be dusting this old franchise off?
