Yoshinori Ono is a hero. Not only is he always bright, bubbly and friendly, but he has almost single handedly saved the Street Fighter franchise. But he’s had it tough, not least because his employers at Capcom have no “mercy”, even after a health scare floored Ono-san earlier in the year.

Capcom’s Yoshinori Ono, the producer and contemporary “father” of Street Fighter, has been rushed to hospital following his world tour promotion of Street Fighter X Tekken.

Street Fighter creator Yoshinori Ono has revealed that there is a possibility that Street Fighter X Tekken could yet make an appearance on the Nintendo 3DS.

Capcom producer Yoshinori Ono has told IGN that the time “feels right” to bring back the acclaimed PS2 Onimusha series.

Here’s another batch of screenshots for Street Fighter X Tekken. It’s the same fighters we’ve seen so far but this time we get to see a little bit more of Chun-Li and Nina getting it on (not that way folks).

Yoshinori Ono or @Yoshi_OnoChin on Twitter posted them earlier tonight and if you look carefully at the above image of his trademark Blanka action figure, you can actually see the game with health bars visible for the first time. Nice. Now whenever you’re ready Namco, we’d like to see some Tekken X Street Fighter thank you very much.

It’s official. Street Fighter will go head to head against Tekken in one of the most explosive and original title corss-overs we have ever come across. As speculated

Capcom are up to something. An hour ago they tweeted that a big announcement will be coming in two days.

“Big announcement… 2 days to go!”

So what is the big announcement? Well, the plot thickens.

Street Fighter IV producer Yoshinori Ono has tweeted the following:

“SuperSF4 is nothing compared to what’s coming!!,”

Looks like he’s involved in another project.

When asked if he was working on a new Darkstalkers game, Ono replied:

“I’m left speechless yet….. Shhhh.”

Very exciting. A new Darkstalkers would be very welcome. Make it so Ono.

With Super Street Fighter IV and now Marvel Vs Capcom 3 leading Capcom’s next gen beat’em up console tirade, it looks like vampire fighter Darkstalkers hasn’t got a limb to stand on over at Capcom HQ at the moment. Darkstalkers dosen’t look like its ever going to get a next generation update. That said, Super Street Fighter IV producer Yoshinori Ono wants a new Darkstalkers and thinks the only way we will get it is if we join him in constantly annoying Capcom for it.

Speaking to VideogamesDaily Ono said that he wants to make a sequel to the vampire fighter very bad, so badly in fact that he talks about it all the time with the hope that everyone at Capcom will take the hint and churn out a new Darkstalkers.

“I always try and talk about Darkstalkers during interviews,” he said, “because I want to show Capcom that there is a demand for a new game.”

“I am desperate to make this game”.
