Red Earth

Red Earth is a fighting game by Capcom released in 1996 for the arcades. Despite being quite common in Japan, it was only minimally distributed overseas. Some of the characters have appeared in other games including Capcom Fighting Evolution (Leo, Kenji, Hauzer and Hydron), SVC Chaos: SNK vs. Capcom and Pocket Fighter (Tessa in both plus cameo appearances, notably Hauzer in Ryu's ending.) More often than not however the characters are commonly mistaken for being from the Darkstalkers game series, also by Capcom.

Red Earth and other games that used the CPS-3 hardware were very advanced both graphically and from a gameplay standpoint, but were not accepted very well by arcade operators due to the high price and fragility of the hardware. As of 2007, there has been no console port of the title, making it the only CPS-3 game that never made it out of arcades.
