Topic: Goodbye Strider.......

Well since the reboot of Strider hasn't even come close to 2 million copies, its goodbye to a great game character.....Strider Hiryu.

So this is my first time getting into Strider and I was fortunate that the this reboot showed up on Steam as I don't got with Sony and Microsoft. So far, the game's awesome if only It didn't use too much of power, perhaps it would run smooth on my pc but anyways, Love the character at first sight and probably my favorite Ninja character ever as I usually don't get much into third party games a lot like others.

Its too bad that Strider is now gone for good as Capcom stated that games that only sell two million will be made more......... Which is personally bad decision if you ask me.

Goodbye Strider.....you shall be missed.

Is there any reason why this would be stupid to quickly assume that Strider is no more?

Strider came on PS Plus, so it's very likely that it got over two million sales if they include that.

Wasn't the 2 million sales thing about big budget gamea?

To be perfectly honest, the Strider reboot was one of the most boring games ive ever played :/
And knowing Capcom, they are not known to be too fond of keeping mascots alive if they are not from the Street Fighter Universe.

For me personally, i really dont care too much. I didnt enjoy the reboot in the slightest and still am very biased towards Strider 2 myself
So yeah, especially with Capcom, dont keep your hopes up too high, as the potential to be disappointed is extremely high.
Like @Tops said: just enjoy the game and wait what happens in the future. And even then, take it with a grain of salt cough MML3 cough

I would not say goodbye, Strider.

I would say goodbye, Capcom

For a cheaply made game and pretty much a cashgrab which had nothing to do with the series except characters, I think it made them a lot of money, so you can expect to hear about Strider in few years.
On the other hand, it's Capcom, so you never know, they might axe it or milk it dry or just forget about it and never speak of it again.

I can't blame Capcom for "2 mln warrants sequels" policy - with development costs sky rocketing and idiotic decisions as of late, they must make money somehow.

Capcom hasn't been making the best business choices recently, so I wouldn't even come close to predicting if they were serious about the 2 million copy thing or not.

Well i'll always have Greninja to remember him by.

I remember that article after which I bought 2 versions of darkstalkers on my psp just to add to their sales numbers.

First of all Capcom didn't make the new Strider Double Helix did Capcom just published it so technecally Capcom hasn't done anything wtih Strider for years. Now with Double Helix now owned by Amazon I doubt there will be a sequel anyways.

There are a lot of classic characters that are in dire need of proper reboots. I had really high hopes for this game based on my memories of Strider, but alas. Even though Capcom didn't develop it, they've been making some questionable decisions when it comes to games lately.

I really doubt that a downloadable game that probably sells for $15 is going to be held to the same standards as the latest big budget $60 release.

I don't think it was that good. The spiritual successor Arcade game that there is another thread about I am more interested in buying.

hes baaack

Yes.

This is everyone's favorite thing to completely ignore. The 2 million sales thing applies only to AAA games.

I recommend NES Strider only if you can handle a tricky "triangle jump" and some good ole' classic NES glitches. I liked the game overall.

@WaveWarlock: I have played the new Strider on PS4 and I enjoyed it. It is a metroidvania style game though but sadly I never played the original games on the Arcade or NES or Genny so I can't really say if its better, the same or worst. But on its own it was a good game for its price. I had fun with it.

@WaveWarlock: No I haven't. If it came out for the Wii U I probably would get it but I don't use the PS3 that much anymore. As for Strider (NES), remember it's somewhat glitchy. If you want buttery smooth gameplay, than don't bother with it.
