I am playing Darkstalkers, but I'm not sure why I'm doing anything. Who are these people? I know Morrigan, but why is Frankenstein and Eddie from Iron Maiden there? Who is the guy that looks like a cross between Chernabog and the Electric Monster from Scooby Doo?

Shouldn't that be romanized Xiange? Does that mean that the DS series takes place before the advent of Pinyin?

Lei-lei was also the Japanese name for Mega Man, and they were concerned about diluting the brand.

In the first game Demetri maximoff heir to the maximoff clan of the Makai and rival clan to the Aensland clan (the ruling clan) takes over the earth and everyone wants to stop him

Then in Night Warriors the alien warlord Pyron wants to take over the earth and uses the huitzel who are ancient south American robots and everyone tried to stop him

Then in three Jedah Doma heir to the lost third clan of the makai wants to kill everyone and combine them into the soul of a single entity to create God, while Morrigan also fights her "sister" who is actually half of her power stripped from her by her father at birth to prevent her from being too powerful

Yes.

I used to be mad that they weren't making a new Darkstalkers, but I think I'm OK with the old games because a new one might look all weird.

I wound up getting the two playsation games for the series and later importing the second game for the sega saturn.

I've got the PSP game too and the one shot comic that udon did that ended in a cliff hanger.

But the remake did not sell 2 million copies so Capcom killed the series

they've rereleased that same version of 3 like 4 times now and they wonder why it doesn't sell cod numbers

You can't just shoot them all

When Saddam took power in Iraq he had the half of the ruling council who he accused of being traitors lined up against a wall and made the other half who swore fealty to him do the shooting. This is how this sort of thing should be done

There is some very sensual touching going on in the cutscene there. i don't actually think it means anything sexual but it's cool how it contrasts with modern ideas of what bad ass stuff should be like. It even seems authentic to some kind of chivalric masculine touching from a tyme longe gone
all the movie monsters fight each other with fireballs and dragon punches, is the plot
