not necessarily, but apart from Street Fighter, what franchise of theirs has gotten better with age? I wish theyd release an updated mega man collection for ps3 so I wouldnt have to play mega man 1 -4 in jap.
Who made ready to rumble? Ea sports big fell off
Activision fell off
True, but that's because they don't exist anymore lol.
Don't agree with Activision tho, they BEEN doing the same shit they're doing now....rehashing the same shit over and over again, it's just that now people are finally getting fed up with it.
No gaming company in the history of gaming has ever fallen off harder than RARE. How you go from Goldeneye, Killer Instinct, Donkey Kong Country, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Perfect Dark, Diddy Kong Racing and Battletoads to...Kinectimals? Although, Viva Pinata was pretty dope.

USPTO refuses application for renewal, citing possible confusion with Fox's since-ended TV series of the same name.
The United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) has refused to allow Microsoft to renew its Killer Instinct trademark. In a government filing, the office said it would not allow it due to the possibility of confusion with Fox's since-ended television series Killer Instinct.
"In the present case, applicant’s mark is Killer Instinct and registrant's mark is Killer Instinct. Thus, the marks are identical in terms of appearance and sound," a line from the statement reads "In addition, the connotation and commercial impression of the marks do not differ when considered in connection with applicant's and registrant's respective goods and services."
"Thus, upon encountering Killer Instinct for 'video game software' and 'entertainment services, namely, providing online video games' and Killer Instinct for 'entertainment services in the nature of a television series featuring drama,' consumers are likely to be confused and mistakenly believe that the respective goods and services emanate from a common source."
Fox's crime drama Killer Instinct aired in 2005 and spanned just one season.
Microsoft applied to renew its Killer Instinct trademark in September, sparking a belief that the company may have been in some way interested in reviving the '90s fighting franchise.
Though the USPTO has refused to allow Microsoft to renew its Killer Instinct trademark, Microsoft is allowed to respond to the refusal by submitting evidence and arguments to support its claim.

I never heard of the show Killer Instinct.
After playing Tao Feng: Fist of the Lotus and Kakuto Chojin, I hope to god Microsoft doesn't fuck with Killer Instinct cause Jeeeeesus CHRIST did those games suck.
Capcom is pretty much back at the top of the Fighting Game world and they still have plenty of properties they can revitalize that will instantly bring back fans.
Square has pretty much lost. They've all but fun their flag franchise into the ground, lost all the creative minds that could have revitalized old franchises, and shown that their ability to make new franchises is severely lacking.
