ill just paste what i posted over at the corner.
And I stand by that argument.
Absolutely correct, I'd say.
Unfortunately, catering to Classic-series fans (if you can even use those words to describe such highway robbery) is the path of least resistance to Capcom. Classic is their fall-back position, being the "original" series it carries the closest thing to universal appeal that they've not yet utterly destroyed (see MM9). Doesn't matter how popular the other individual characters are (Zero, Tron), doesn't matter how high a regard most of the western world holds the X series. And of course there is the little pandora's box they're still trying to nail shut with Legends; multi-series efforts mean they have to either man up and face it, or conspicuously dodge it.
I knew right from the get-go that merchandise would never satisfy the fanbase: the likes of Kotobukiya, Bandai, Udon, and even Archie, they've set the bar too high. No tin can is going to approach that level of value. We expect better for a good reason: We've seen it. From everyone BUT Capcom, we've seen the care and quality we expect. We're looking to Capcom to deliver what they cannot: A game. You know how during the whole SOPA thing Sven was bitching about how they are game makers and not legislators? Well, we're asking the game makers to make a [tornado fang]ing game (or better yet, just release the one you already made last year). It doesn't get any plainer or simpler than that.
