32X version

edit

So once again I've removed the claim of a 32X version of this game. There are two problems with the latest sourcing of this claim. First, as per WP:VG/RS, Sega-16 is another unreliable source apart from articles by Ken Horowitz and developer interviews. Second, I'm troubled that the only concrete info Sega-16 has on the 32X version is that it was announced at the 1994 Summer CES, because that CES announcement with no demo (not even an non-playable one) is the only concrete info I've seen on the 32X version anywhere. At best, that suggests that no major progress was made on the 32X port. Scrutinized with a healthy dose of skepticism, it hints that Capcom may have made the announcement for publicity's sake with no serious intention of actually porting the game to 32X, or even as a result of a miscommunication (e.g. someone was told they were working on a PlayStation version of Darkstalkers and said 32X version instead).

A 32X version seems plausible, and it's a matter of record that Capcom were a licensed 32X developer, but solid sourcing that a 32X version actually existed is still missing.--Martin IIIa (talk) 01:29, 30 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Martin IIIa:I found this pretty recently regarding the fabled 32X version: https://retrocdn.net/index.php?title=File%3AEGM2_US_05.pdf&page=22 Roberth Martinez (talk) 15:49, 31 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
Man, you are the king of research. That looks all good to me, so I won't object if you add that to the article (or I can add it myself if you prefer). Martin IIIa (talk) 16:23, 2 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
