Same as every "Vs" Title. (C'mon what the hell is that Suma-Gorath thing, Marrow??, Sonson???)

Anyway more info and a name change.

Asked if there will be any new characters for this version of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, Niitsuma remains coy. "Please stay tuned for a later announcement," he comments.

One feature notably missing from the Japanese version, however, is online competition -an omission that may be corrected for North America. "We are still working this out, but stay tuned for more information coming soon," teases Niitsuma.

"The fans and marketing/sales teams outside of Japan showed a great interest in [Tatsunoko vs. Capcom] and contacted us to find out more about the game," relates producer Ryota Niitsuma. "Such an enthusiastic reaction convinced us that the game could succeed even overseas as a new [entry in the] Vs. series. We listened to feedback from our fans and marketing/sales teams in other territories in order to implement new features to the game this time around. I am very happy to announce that this title is coming to North America for those fans who have long waited for this to be made... and were disappointed last time by its unavailability overseas."

You can always PM people who are not good at googling.

I really don't get why... I mean... half the characters are unknowns.

Eh whatever. Better chance of SRW games being translated over.

Maybe it's to make up for M V C.

The audience who buys this game wont care. I assume most of the people who buy this will already know that they don't know half of the characters.

I wonder if some of the Tatsunoko characters got shift around a little?

 

I just mean from a liscensing standpoint.  Usually anime liscenses are expensive.

It's the same reason we got so few Godzilla games until it weakened as a brand.

If anything, I'm curious the the unkown characters. Besides, this game has tons of famous Capcom characters like Viewtiful Joe.

 

The characters you don't know about should be the ones that fuel curiosity and make you want to play it. I already know what the original Capcom ones do, but I want to see the mysterious Tatsunoku ones as well.

 

Not buying a game because of new characters is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard.

Agreed. Not knowing the characters is something that makes me want to try it too.

 



Support good third party games on wii. Buy games like house of the dead overkill, de blob, madworld, the conduit and boom blox.

There is definitely a logic to what you're saying, but when it comes to licensed games the psychological connection is different. Few people go out and buy a Naruto fighting game that don't watch Naruto. The reason is with the license half the fun comes from playing as characters you recognize and connect with. Playing with a Might Guy/Rock Lee team isn't nearly as bad ass if you haven't watched the show. The appeal isn't the same. If it comes down to playing this or Marvel vs Capcom 2, I choose the latter because of the connection I have with the Marvel universe over the Tatsunoko one. Playing Tatsunoko vs Capcom is going to leave me feeling like I'm missing something. But having Spiderman fight Strider...bad ass.



You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.

Ryu in his best performancing (0:58 and 1:46):

Polymar (ooh polymar *-*):

Chun Li + Ryu = devastation:

"GRRRRRRRRRRR HAAAAAAAADOOOOOOOOOOOOOUKEEEEEEEENN!"

Ryu looks mad in this game xD, I really like it.

This is gonna be more hyped then SSBB.

No, not really.  The Dojo alone generated more hype than this title will likely ever see.

At this point, all I can hope for is that the developers will break even or a little better on the cost to localize.
