Darkstalkers

Darkstalkers, known in Japan and Asia as Vampire and in some European releases as Vampire Hunter, is a series of 2D fighting games produced by Capcom during the mid-1990s for the CPS II arcade hardware. The series is notable for its cast of characters based on well-known fictional monsters (hence its Japanese title, Vampire) and introduced many of the concepts used in later Capcom fighting games, including the use of sixteen-bit color animation sprites later employed in the Street Fighter Alpha and Marvel vs. Capcom series. There have been five arcade games in the series with a few console ports produced as well.
