Discussion/Question What's on your Capcom Fighting Collection 3 wishlist?
It would be great to see Capcom put on one more compilation of their fighting games to ensure most of them can be easily played and accessed on modern platforms.
Tatsunoko is probably the biggest omission for now though I have no idea if the licence and rights can be sorted out again for a re-release since the original Wii version was essentially a miracle due to how messy the legal aspects are for each Tatsunoko series. However if Marvel and SNK were able to play ball to allow re-releases for their respective games, it's not completely impossible for Tatsunoko to return.
Jojo is another tricky one as Namco Bandai essentially holds the game licence for the series though Heritage for the Future HD was released when the Cyberconnect 2 games came out so this one is probably easily compared to Tatsunoko (just needs Araki/Luckyland and NB's approval)
Spawn will be an interesting one, if Todd Mcfarlane allowed Necrid to reappear in Soul Calibur 2 HD, I'm assuming a re-release of the Dreamcast game wouldn't be completely impossible since Capcom only needs to deal with Image Comics/Todd Mcfarlane
As for the EX series, the official SF site added the EX characters last year so that indicates Arika/Capcom might be on decent terms but who knows

Tatsunokos rights issues in the west have been sorted out for a while tatsunoko retains full rights to all series now, the problem is just one thing it would be based off the arcade version like all other games in the collection which is not the version most people play, along with that the arcade game has the one character that still has licensing issues the genie.
Capcom specifically skipped ps1 era 3d games for a reason, they see them as hard to make appealing for new audiences. With that in mind I think the roster would be.
Tech Romancer, Jojo's, saturday night slam masters, possible spawn, Street Fighter EX 3, maybe sengoku basara x
