Capcom fighting All Stars was a game meant to be Capcom 1st 3d fighter but that went on to be Street Fighter EX. The game took well known characters such as Ryu and Chun Li and mixed them with new ones. If this sounds familiar that is because it is the same thing SNK did with KOF. The reason for that is that we had ex SNK work on the game.
“When we joined Capcom, there were two plans put forward for the kind of game we could develop. We had a lot of people on our team with experience developing fighting games, so our first idea was to make our own fighting game. However, creating a fighting game from scratch, with a new gameplay system, would have been very time-consuming, and as a new team at Capcom, we felt we had to contribute something to the company as quickly as possible.
So instead, we went with our second idea, which was to use Capcom’s pre-existing assets as the foundation for a new project. And that game, well, I can’t really talk about too much, but… that’s how Capcom Fighting All-Stars’ development began.
Unfortunately, we just weren’t able to work it up into something interesting.Partly due to my own inexperience, in the end, even though our staff did their best, the game never made it to release.”Toyohisa Tanabe
Given the KOF vibes this game gives off it makes sense that ex SNK staffers were behind it. However knowing that it makes me wonder more about what this game could have been. Let me know your thoughts below.
