Darkstalkers Resurrection will bring two of the franchise’s games to the Playstation Network and Xbox Live Arcade as a single, downloadable bundle early next year, Capcom just announced during a New York Comic Con 2012 panel.

The package includes 1994‘s Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors and Darkstalkers III, and is being produced by Capcom's Derek Neil.

Both games will include GGPO-technology to reduce online gameplay lag, HD filtering with multiple viewing options, replay sharing, spectator mode, and Achievements. A Challenge Mode provides in-depth tips on how to use each character to the best of their ability. Also there's an unlockable vault filled with concept art, videos and more. To earn those unlocks, players must complete special in-game challenges, earning them redeemable "Vault Points."

The online matchmaking will follow in the footsteps of Street Fighter III: Third Strike Online Edition and Marvel vs. Capcom Origins, which include upgraded matchmaking with additional options such as region matching, ping lock and ping display. The title will also feature YouTube replay uploading.

This reveal comes after years of Capcom's Yoshinori Ono dropping hints about revisiting the 90s gothic horror fighter franchise. Whether fans of the series will be satiated by this re-release remains to be seen.

Welcome back, Darkstalkers!

Darkstalkers Resurrection is coming early 2013 to PSN and XBLA for $14.99, and is packed to the (curiously handsome fish man) gills with content. First and foremost - two classic arcade games, Night Warriors: Darkstalkers Revenge and Darkstalkers 3, reborn with HD visuals and the suite of filters and viewpoints seen in MvCO and Third Strike Online.

So if it sells like MvC2 and SSF2HD, we'll most likely see a new game in the series, right?

I think i saw donovan and talbain together in savior so it seems like the ex version.

Okay cool, so I can go back to giving less than a shit.  False alarm.
