For those unfamiliar with the original Darkstalkers title, Night Warriors changed alot. The original Darkstalkers had a s super system more akin to early KOF games or the S-Groove from the CVS2. Once the super gauge was full it would start to deplete and you had a limited time to execute a ES or EX move. In addition, while your super gauge was depleting inputting a special move would result in a ES move. You could not stock levels of super gauge and your gauge would reset at the beginning of each round.
In Night Warriors, they decided to return to a traditional super bar system, akin to Street Fighter, which could also be stacked with an infinite amount of bars.
Chain combos also worked differently in that you could not alternate between positions and punches and kicks. It was very straight forward (Ex. Standing LP, MP, HP) and you could cancel chain combos into specials, providing the normal your cancelling is cancellable on its own.
In Night Warriors, you can alternate between strengths but cannot cancel into specials or EX's (unless it's a motion command super) during a chain. This gave characters more damage possibilities.
Huitzil (Phobos) and Pyron were unplayable boss characters until Night Warriors. In addition, Night Warriors added Donovan and Hsien-Ko (Lei Lei).
The overall game speed was slower, there were no pursuit attacks and the presentation including character artwork, music and backgrounds were different.
Night Warriors is a more refined title compared to it's predecessor overall. While smaller, there is a dedicated player base for Night Warriors and slowly growing.
