Capcom producer Yoshinori Ono said in 2007: "Personally, I'd love to make a new "Marvel vs. Capcom", and I'd also like to see the triumphant return of "Darkstalkers" to a new generation of technology. It would be an interesting challenge with "Darkstalkers", because in the old games you'd see a lot of really interesting animations as characters would morph into different forms. That would be tricky to do with this 3D engine, but not impossible. In two or three years, if I got the chance to resurrect that series, I'd like to shock Hollywood with how good the graphics would look". In August 2010, Ono stated during an interview about "Street Fighter X Tekken" that a new installment to the series would be his "ultimate dream", but only fan demand would cause it to happen. He went on to say that it would take one million requests before Keiji Inafune, then head of research and development at Capcom, would comply. At that point, Capcom had received 5,000 requests. By March 2011, Ono reported that Capcom had received over 100,000 requests. He later expressed during an interview at a Nintendo 3DS launch in London that "one day, if it goes half a million, Capcom may raise its eyebrow a little bit and I could do what I did in London in 2007 when I announced the comeback of "Street Fighter". In the near future, with your help, it may become true. It's on its way, because we're pretty much where we were with "Street Fighter" a few years back. So keep it up".
