Is Capcom Sven the same bum that said to "not worry" because there would be no more Final Fight games? If so...

I WANT Final Fight games, not Mega Man's Cousin Zero-Four-Nine Maximus Battle Transmission Network: A New Beginning.

But anyways, I think Capcom was wanting Okami to be a genuine hit, both on the Wii and PS2. Don't ask me why it didn't get more advertisement. Maybe a bit like Nintendo was a few years ago, expecting positive word-of-mouth to do the advertising for them.

Final Fight was awesome, but demand for Beat em up's went downward when people started focusing on JRPG's solely on Nintendo and Sony during the PSX era. Remember that game Fighting Force? That was amazing wasn't it? Well...that type of fun is a dying breed, a niche if you will. I loved it, you love it, but stick a fork in it. God Hand was the last game. God knows if the people respond to another beat em up, it will be a very long time.

 

YES, Final Fight is awesome(the 2D ones at least)!

I know the demand for beat-em-ups has gone down, but there is always room for sales and profit if done properly. Shmup's are still being made, and seeing sequels. Point and click games are still being made. No More Heroes is a sort of 3D beat-em-up, and has sold moderately well considering it's budget.

For the record, I made the Final Fight statement because I want some more 2D Final Fights. I'm not sure if it was the Sven fella, but it really ticked me off when one of the people from Capcom made that statement on their site, something like "And don't worry, you won't be seeing any more Final Fight games. We're not going back to that." It's like they were saying Final Fight Streetwise's failure to deliver was because it was a Final Fight game, not because it was some lousy game they slung on store shelves.
