SAN MATEO, CA ? June 2, 2009 ? Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced that Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is coming to North America for the Wii? home video game system. Capcom?s popular and critically acclaimed ?VS? fighting series is getting an all new next-generation introduction. Tatsunoko vs. Capcom pits Capcom?s iconic characters against Tatsunoko Productions anime superheroes. This clash of heroes face off in two-on-two battles for the ultimate 2D tag-team battle.

Originally released in Japanese arcades in the Fall of 2008, the original Tatsunoko vs. Capcom moved to the Wii console on December 11, 2008. This extraordinary fighter will blend these two rich universes by taking Capcom characters like Ryu from Street Fighter, Morrigan from Darkstalkers and the giant PTX-40A from Lost Planet and putting them against Tatsunoko fan-favorite characters from Gatchaman, Hurricane Polymar, Casshern and more. It?s a battler oyale that delivers match-ups that only exist in fans wildest dreams!

Unlike the more well-known six-button layout that the Street Fighter franchise pioneered, the VS line features a simplified four button system: ?Weak?, ?Medium?, ?Strong? and ?Assist? for the tag-team option of. The ?Assist? feature adds another compelling element found Capcom?s other ?VS? series: allowing players to switch their character on the fly or call for help from their tag-team partner, allowing for spectacular super moves (?Hyper Variable Combination?). Successful execution of the Assist feature can turn the tide of battle on a dime. Historically the VS series excels in integrating the tag-team options by including customized moves like Variable Assist, Snapback, and the previously mentioned Hyper Variable combination that lets both characters on one team perform their Hyper attack.

TvC enhances the above gameplay with new mechanics, including the Variable Aerial Rave that allows characters to be switched in the middle of an Aerial rave. More moves include the offensive Assault and defensive maneuver Mega Crash. Another new gameplay mechanic, titled Baroque, illuminates the character in a rainbow of colors, cancels the current attack and extends combos and damage.

Featuring a robust line-up of characters, the console version added four mini-games and optional control schemes

This ?newer? version of TvC, currently dubbed Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, removes one character due to licensing issues, and adds five new ones, online gameplay, more mini-games and an enhanced story mode.

Features:

? 26 fan-favorite characters from the Tatsunoko and Capcom universes face-off in this stylish 2D fighter

? Tag-team battles and customized two-character fighting techniques produce a wild, dazzling spectacle

? Wi-Fi Online gameplay allows worldwide matches

? Four battle modes include Friend, Rival, Free and Ranked Battles

? Match-ups are not restricted to just ?Friends?

? Earn Points and Titles (for Title Creation) for all to see

? All-new VS gameplay mechanics creates a new way for fans to return to the series

? More than 20 Mini-game provide additional multiplayer fun

? Enhanced control schemes offer a simplified control scheme option and allow use of the Classic Controller and Gamecube Controller

? Wii-exclusive

So does a PS3 arcade stick work on the Wii? Or a PS2 one?

Another trailer.

wolfox_okamicha · June 3, 2009, 12:44am

I wonder why Daimaou… legally. I mean, he seems to be a harmless character legally.

NeoChaosX · June 3, 2009, 12:53am

His series was licensed in Europe. I’m guessing whichever company that is wasn’t as willing to play ball with Capcom as the other anime localization companies.

Not PS3 as far as I know, but you can get a PS2 stick to work with a PSX-to-GC adapter.

Ubersaurus · June 3, 2009, 12:56am

Yeah, just get a PS to gamecube adapter and the stick should work fine with tatsunoko.

deadfrog · June 3, 2009, 12:57am

^ ^ ^ Hahah holy, beaten twice.

PS3, no. You can use a PS2 one with a Gamecube adapter. Tech Talk Converter thread

nGuman · June 3, 2009, 12:59am

PS2 lagless converter is like 11 bucks CAD thats like… 8 bucks USD?

NeoChaosX · June 3, 2009, 1:20am

If you mean the Cube Joybox Pro, yeah, its US$7.90 on Play-Asia.

Giiyom · June 3, 2009, 1:24am

So… no chances of using my PS3 TE for TvC

Oh man, I gotta buy it again?! When I imported it, I didn’t even know it had no online. What a disappointment that was.

Aria · June 3, 2009, 1:38am

5 more characters + online?

Might have to buy it again after all. I wonder if they’ll be tweaking the rest of the cast or the engine, too. Sounds like a “TvC: Pro” like CyberAkuma mentioned a bit earlier in the thread.

djjizzdrinky · June 3, 2009, 1:43am

fuck yeah!!! i am so psyched that there is online play and new characters!

Kros · June 3, 2009, 3:10am

Capcom actually makes a good online game for the wii, first on the wii that does wifi right.

NeoChaosX · June 3, 2009, 3:14am

Blast Works and Boom Blox Bash Party don’t use friend codes, either. But at least it looks pretty good that TvC won’t use that system either…

Shinkuu_Tatsumaki · June 3, 2009, 3:38am

Ok, screw you PSP Go. I’m going to buy a Wii instead.

Tweleve · June 3, 2009, 3:39am

Me too. U.S. TvC is adding awesome shit, and I want Monster Hunter 3. I’m sold :lovin:

Alucard20 · June 3, 2009, 3:45am

Can someone + rep him plz? Thx.

XiaNaphryz · June 3, 2009, 4:12am

Sweet, I have a PS2-GC adapter. Now if only someone could make a lagless PS3-Wii one. :lol:

Alucard20 · June 3, 2009, 5:00am

wait, what? I thought u said TvC was shit?

Anyway, I hope the 5 new characters can compete with the rest of the cast.
