Darkstalkers: The Night Warriors

Darkstalkers is a 2D fighting game developed by Capcom and published in PAL territories by Virgin Interactive, featuring characters inspired by monsters from international mythology and introducing fast-paced mechanics that would go on to influence the Street Fighter Alpha series.

This is the sole catalogued PAL variant for Darkstalkers, an original release dated 10 November 1996, distributed across the UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain in a single pressing. It is presented in a Full Jewel PAL case with no hologram on the case. The single-disc release is in English only. No loose paperwork, case stickers, or bundled demo discs are documented. As the only known physical PAL release of this title, this pressing captures the entire European retail footprint for Darkstalkers in one variant. Its significance as a foundational Capcom fighter and the relative scarcity of a single-variant multi-territory release makes it a worthwhile acquisition for fighting game collectors.
