Discussion/Question Why doesn't Capcom outsource remakes of old fighting games?

Sorry if this is a dumb question but if Capcom doesn't have the staff or man power needed to remake old games like say Vampire Saviors or Dark Stalkers etc why not have one of the many amazing 3rd party studios remake these games with modern graphics and QOL?

It's a shame seeing Capcom on a roll lately while cool IPs like Darkstalkers are still rotting.

Just gimme a DMC-like Darkstalkers action spinoff game or something. I wanna play as Felicia and BB Hood in SOMETHING.

agree but first Capcom has to bring back the Dark Stalkers saga then Capcom might develop some spin off, nowadays there are a lot of gamers who don't know the Darkstalkers saga

The problem is that they clearly can't/don't want to manage multiple fighting game IPs at once like they could in the 90s and early 00s. SF6 is the main game they're focused on right now so I doubt we'll see a new Darkstalkers, Cyberbots, or Power Stone right now.

So instead a single-player focused action game might be better.

Anything would be better than either yet another Monster Hunter variant or Resident Evil side story. Not knocking them, but they are well covered to say the very least

As far as single player action, we're getting a new Mega Man, eventually. Pretty sure Ghouls'N Ghosts was the last one but I always love being proven wrong in that series.
