I call bulltrout. As bad as the earth quake was Capcom has still managed to continue onward with all of their other development and release dates. Besides, this isn't exactly rocket science. The engine is built. Just add a couple of more characters every so often. Maybe there would be a few weeks delay upfront but how many months has it been?Originally Posted by SuperMillionaire
The earthquake in Japan disrupted their schedule for DLC, so they just decided to make it into a standalone title for a lower retail price.
The reality is that this is what I have come to expect from a Capcom fighting game. Release again with some roster updates and charge full price again. They did it with Street Fighter 4 not that long ago. Unless they are beefing up the game with additional modes and challenges, ala the latest Mortal Kombat, then just release it as a DLC pack for those that already have the game.
In the end, I don't really care that much as I didn't buy MvC3 or Mortal Kombat whatever but this just seems like an excuse to follow the real business model. On top of that $5 per character originally sounded like a rip off. I guess if they are charging $60 then that is what all of the DLC characters would have cost anyway.
