    E3 is on. I know a few of us here have Tatsunoko VS. Capcom and one of the announcements was that it's getting an English release. Now why would we get this again when it's perfectly playable in Japanese? Well ...

    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
    Five new characters! Online mode!

    The character that got removed due to licensing issues was Daimao (the genie). He'll be sorely missed amongst me and my friends, we loved dropping crates and going "oh bingo bingo". But five new characters, I assume 3 for Tatsunoko and 2 for Capcom. That's a pretty big plus. For the Capcom side (as I know barely anything from Tatsunoko), I'd definitely like to see another Rival Schools characters (Edge or Akira perhaps?) or another one from Darkstalkers (B.B. Hood or Hsien Ko), or hey even Power Stone, that would be ace.

    Fall (US) release date has been thrown around.

    Guess I will be getting this game again.

    All I know is there will be a Yoshi in Mario Galaxy II.

    And that is all I needed to know.

    I would buy Tatsunoko again. Online YES! Booyah! New characters? YES! Damn fine gameplay? YEEEEEEEEES! Looks like they are adding a few things from SFIV with the online fighting and trophy options.Excitement levels UUUUUUUUUUUP!

    Oh, Daimao, how I would baffle newbies to the game with you. I believe Speed Racer is a Tatsunoko chappy. Beyblades and they had a part in Evangelion as well. Hmmm, more big robots?

    On the Capcom side, since Yami is the bad guy at the end, I would like to see Amaterasu from Okami as well. I think the way the weapons and Celestial Brush were done, they would work hell schmikky in a Vs Cap game. Shame they didn't drop Roll for someone betterer.

    Well if it's a 2-3 character split for TvC I'd want any of these characers:

    Capcom:
    - Dante (DMC)
    - a Power Stone character
    - Amaterasu (Okami)
    - Leon, Chris or Wesker (Resident Evil)
    - C.Viper or El Fuerte (SF4)

    Tatsunoko:
    - Speed Racer
    - a Samurai Pizza Cat
    - a Tekkaman character

    Anybody bought Wii Motion Plus yet?

    I just bought the EA Grand Slam Tennis bundle with the Wii Motion Plus.

    Unfortunately because of all the hype, I was expecting the world of this and not surprisingly it's fallen short of the hype.

    That's not to say it's a bad thing but it's not as 1:1 as all those EA promo videos made it out to be. I still think it's a good game that gets better with more practice.

    Hopefully Wii Sports Resort shows off the Wii Motion Plus better.

    I was thinking more if they added updates to older games so you could use it with them

    Apparently the Wii Sports resort is a winner, and the new Tiger Woods golf game is a blast with it. I've got Tiger Woods down on my list purely because of the Frisbee golf mode...

    Just wish Excitebots would hurry up and get a PAL release date, a sequel to Ecite Truck that is even mroe zany and crazy??? Gimme Gimme Gimme.
