At least French Bread confirmed that they might port this to a console, better than nothing. I hope this gets a PC release, since I don't have any console nor a computer powerful enough to emulate one.

Ideally, French Bread should port UNIB to all 3 major platforms if they really want to get the game off the ground. Looking at the Arcade Modes and other info, it's pretty clear they have big things planned for this game and want to turn into a new franchise.

I would think that making a new Melty Blood instead of UNiB (with the same production quality, of course) would have garnered a crap-ton more interest from the get-go. Not sure why they'd make UNiB to get interest in a new MB.

It is not the same.
French Bread can't make a new MB because Mushroom is sluggish as always. On the other hand, Arc can't make a new GG yet because the copy right issue wasn't settled until too long ago, and there are various preparation before they can reboot the project. |

Anyway, both MB and GG are bad examples. Eltnum's arcade story in UNiB showed that French Bread wanted to make Melty Blood HD, but Nasu was still busy with other projects as always. For Guilty Gear, there were copyright issues as mentioned before. Therefore, it's not really right to say that they willingly stopped making sequels but that neither one of them had much of a choice. As for MB and GG's diminished community overseas, that is also a little more complicated than just being an old series. Melty Blood was never localized, which already limits player access, and in addition the PC version of the newest Melty Blood was only a limited edition bundle coupled with the third Carnival Phantasm BD set, so it's not even possible to legally import a copy anymore. In addition, needing PC set-ups for tournament scenes is a lot more problematic than the typical console set-up. For Guilty Gear, you have a small portion that sticks to Guilty Gear because they don't like BlazBlue mechanics, and you have another portion moving onto BlazBlue simply because it's the "newest" ArcSys game. Repeat this fragmentation for BlazBlue and Persona 4 Arena. Then if you consider the already stagmatized notion of "anime" games in If there's only one good thing to say about the Capcom fighting game community, it's that they at least stick to only one game: the latest version of Street Fighter or Marvel vs Capcom. With "anime" fighting gamers, they are all over the place. Sure, having variety and being able to experiment with other games is great, but at the same time it doesn't sustain a consistent community which is also needed to keep a fighting game alive. |

Well, one doesn't stop playing a game... they just play something more since his main game isn't competitive as it used to be. That's why GG people play BB.
A new sequel was needed to re-awaken the old players. However GG is hard to get into, therefore, the chances of AC+R bringing new players are slim. You could say that Capcom is being "lazy" right now, by not bringing new games. But that's only because they don't need to work their asses! They conquered a large and loyal fanbase. Back then though, Capcom had made tons of games to attract new players. SNK as well. And as you can see, only Street Fighter, Marvel and KOF had success. Afterall, who wouldn't like to see a new Garou, Samurai Shodown, Capcom vs SNK, Alpha or Darkstalkers?

And who knows? Perhaps we might even see something similar to Street Fighter and King of Fighter rivalries of 90's. |

As I've mentioned before, French Bread mentioned (in an interview) that they wanted to make a new Melty Blood, but they couldn't because Nasu was (and still is) busy with other projects.
At that point in time, it was either start a new project or do nothing. |

However BB is a much more mature game, and I'm afraid UNiB is late for the party.

Arcana Heart was made by Examu and published by ASW.
And quite honestly, doesn't feel like a quality title... It's good as a fighter, but the setting (Only girls and tons of fan service) made it appear less serious as a contender. AH is part of "B-Rated" fighters that aren't meant to be popular. These also include: -Aquapazza -Chaos Code -Ougon -Akatsuki -Vanguard Princess -And many others you probably never heard about, for obvious reasons! What UNiB is trying to do is exactly the opposite of BB, which is to attract new players from a small fanbase.
