I do hope that eventually the arithmetic makes more sense for them to re-release as many of the classic games as possible, but I wouldn't hold my breath on it happening any time soon. And they are probably right-SCII is probably the most marketable classic SC game they have and SCII:HDO still seems to have sold only a small fraction of the copies they get for a new entry and was probably only worthwhile because it helped shore up fan interest in the franchise in the years following SCV. The major issue here though is clearly that Namco does not view polished versions (or really any re-releases) of most of its classic fighters as likely to generate enough money to warrant the cost of porting (especially if they get an HD treatment).
But they could always relaunch the game without these three guest characters, similar to how Link was omitted from SCII:HDO, so there's really no reason this issue would block a port though some purists would probably not be happy about the absence of three characters from an entry that already has a mixed reception in terms of overall content, many people considered the Star Wars characters and odd fit to begin with, Yoda in particular.
If you have previously unlocked this content on either console and keep it all (including the file that authenticates the license) you should be able to continue to use all of the content.Īs to SC IV re-release, there's always a possibility that Namco reserved the right to re-license these characters for future versions of the game under specific conditions, but that is unlikely given the licenses were taken off the stores of both consoles. If you have a copy of the PS3 version of the game, you'll have access to Darth Vader, the Apprentice, and two of the three Star Wars stages, but you will not be able to unlock Yoda or the third Star Wars stage. If you purchase the XBOX 360 disc (and still have a machine capable of playing it), you will still have access to Yoda and the Apprentice and two of the three Star Wars stages (and all other game content) since that content is all loaded on the disc, but you will not be able to purchase access to Darth Vader and the third stage, because those licenses can no longer be purchased online-the data for that bonus character and stage is still on the disc, but you'll have no legal and licensed means of unlocking it on your console.
