Returning to the subject of ‘near-useless lists’… here’s another one! I made this because I was wondering if Capcom had released more fighting games on the Dreamcast than they have since. Well, that was true through the ’00s, but thanks to their numerous digital re-releases of old games, it isn’t anymore. Capcom did release more 3d fighting games that have 3d movement (that is, not games that play on a flat plane like the Street Fighter IV/V series all do) on the Dreamcast than on all other platforms combined, though, so there is that; after the DC Capcom mostly abandoned 3d fighting games.
In addition, for 2d, 2.5d (SFIV/V style 3d graphics on a 2d plane games) and 3d fighting games combined, counting only original titles and console ports of games originally released (in arcades, generally) within the past five years, though, the Dreamcast still has the edge, I think… it goes to show how Capcom has faded, and how the fighting game genre doesn’t see anywhere near the number of releases now that it once did. It’s too bad.
The list below really illustrates how Capcom mostly gave up on fighting games after 2001. After releasing 18 fighting games on the Dreamcast between 1999 and 2001, Capcom only released 10 on the Playstation 2 between 2000 and 2010, four of those games also available on Dreamcast, and several of their later PS2 fighters are licensed anime games developed by outside teams. Meanwhile, the Xbox, GBA, and GC had only 1 to 3 Capcom fighters each. And the next generation, on the PS3, 360, PSP, and Wii, aside from the numerous classic re-releases and HD updates, Capcom released only four entirely original fighting games, with four versions of one of those games releasing (SFIV) and two versions of the other three (MvC3, TvC, Fate/) seeing release. And one of those four series is a licesned anime property, developed by an outside team. ’90s Capcom is long gone, now, because of Capcom’s weakened position today and because of the high development costs of development today. But at least all of the games below exist!
