Ex-Capcom developer releases own 2D fighting game

Kotaku reports that an ex-Capcom employee Tomoaki Sugeno has released Vanguard Princess, a free shareware fighter for the PC platform. The game has not been translated, so all the text and voices will be in Japanese. There is no need to fret since Japanese fighting games have never required a person to understand Japanese.

the game looks actually pretty good but I tend to hate games with an All girl cast even more when it's a Anime/manga.

Baka-akaB6144d ago

Yeah it's a pity the game features character that generic .
Not to mention it's probably not well balanced , judging by past games of that kind .

But it's indeed a beautiful game , and a perfect tech demo for his resume

what ever happened to mvc2 w/online battles?

FamilyGuy6144d ago

Why didn't this guy sell the game for as a psn or xbl?
It looks decent enough, some money is better than nothing, even if it IS simply to show something on a resume (as if his las job wasn't good enough).

You think this could come to the PS3/PSP or XBLA?

dagamdagee6144d ago

I certainly would like to think so. This is probably one of the best looking indie games I've seen in a long time. Although, I think the market for 2D fighting games is a bit of a niche itself, so who knows how well it would do. Plus this game is beyond an Otaku's wet dream. Don't know how well that could catch on.

I tried to run the game but nothing happens... Is this compatible with Vista? Anybody?

It seems to work when combined with this:

Now the problem is the sound.... =(

I downloaded it and gave it go. Its very smooth on my machine and controls great with a Dual Shock. I have a Red Octane adapter to use the PS controller on a PC. And its free so I suggest anyone who is interested enough to read these comments download it NOW! It rocks!

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing2d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit2d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing2d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster922d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
