If there's one thing fighting fans love to do, it's telling Capcom how to run their business. Personally, I think R. Mika should make a Super Street Fighter IV comeback, but that's neither here nor there.
What is both here and there, though, is this quotation from Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars producer Ryota Niitsuma: "If sales are really good, then you can see an announcement [for another game] within this year," he told Kotaku this morning.
But an announcement for what?
"I would love to do more Versus series, more types of games like Marvel Vs. Capcom 2," Niitsuma continued. "There are all of these possibilities working with other companies, seeing what we could do with them. There are so many game companies I'd love to work with."
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, which will be released in North America next week, is the seventh game in the Vs. series. Niitsuma calls it a "revival" of the series; besides the recently re-made Marvel vs. Capcom 2 for Xbox Live Arcade, the last Vs. game was Capcom vs. SNK 2, which appeared in arcades in 2001. While this doesn't count as an official announcement, I doubt Capcom would be too happy with Niitsuma running his mouth off if another Vs. title weren't plausible.
Cross-over games tend to be heavy on the fanservice, and it's no surprise that Capcom would take fan requests into account. "We get requests from fans to mix our characters with other video game characters all of the time," Niitsuma said. "Based on those requests we might be able to do something with our characters and another company's characters for a future game," Niitsuma said.
So! Since I know all of you with Wiis are going to buy Tatsunoko vs. Capcom next week, it wouldn't be out of the question to hear about a Vs. game later this year, right? Right. Capcom seems to be listening, so let's hear which company Capcom should work with next.
My vote is for Studio Ghibli: a Jill and Nausicaa team would be awfully cool.

They should make a Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 (especially with the Spider Man reboot, and Iron Man 2 buzz) if they want to break fighting game sales records.
I am doing my part, I have already pre-ordered the game, hopefully lots of other people have done the same. I'd love a Marvel Vs Capcom 3 or Marvel Vs Capcom Vs Disney, etc...
I would be interested to see Capcom Vs. Namco, Sega, or Nintendo
All characters at once, and Brad. This will pave the way for the sequel, Brad.
@crunshii
That makes no sense.
I like the way you think. I call dibs on Ken+Donald Duck.
The online competitive community will be poop, so he'd rather avoid it.
It sure will. But only if everyone has a downer mindset like you.
Does it really matter that the Tatsunoko brand is niche? I mean, core gamers who love Marvel vs. Capcom -style fighting games should mostly be both aware of and excited about this game.
Capcom has been the ideal third-party dev on the Wii in my opinion. They jumped through hurdles to get this game released outside of Japan and they added new content and put in a good marketing effort.
Just support the game and shut up.
"Generic" anime characters? Really? No, not really. They're all pretty damn famous, actully.
But, for now, I'll be enjoying the first game.
As long as we're talkin' Okami, we might as well throw in Viewtiful Joe and Bayonetta. Capcom vs Platinum/Clover would be pretty awesome.
lol, the only Platinum character there is is Bayonetta. Okami, Viewtiful Joe, and Gene are totally Capcom characters.
That being said, some of the Capcom Five characters ought to be in a game. Imagine a Killer7 character that could switch into any of the 7 Smiths.
Konami would bring characters from:
Metal Gear,
Castlevania,
Contra,
Suikoden,
Silent Hill,
Zone of the Enders,
Elebits,
Ninja Turtles (Possibly)
Pro Evolution Soccer (Random Soccer player would be funny)
DDR, etc.
That cast would absolutley rock your sox off.
Anyone saying capcom vs. disney is F@^@#$ing retarded.
wait what?
You say a DDR vs Capcom would be good then you ridicule Disney/marvel vs Capcom fans.
You good sir are a jackass.
Hush up.
A quick trip to YouTube solved that problem. And the build I played with Zero, Frank West, and Joe the Condor sealed the deal.
TvC is gonna rock!
I threw DDR in there as a joke after listing about 10 amazing games to draw from.
Metal gear and Castlevania alone would be sufficient characters for an amazing fighting game.
Imagine Alucard from SotN or psycho mantis from Metal gear solid.
Capsom vs Disney would be the stupidest thing ever. You MUST own a wii, and be no older than 8 to want a shit mash-up like that.
When I played The Conduit, I could wish all I wanted that 150,000+ people would be online, like with Halo, Killzone 2, and Modern Warfare, but it's not going to happen.
Touhou vs. Capcom
TYPE-MOON vs. Capcom

Either one is fine.
I had an absolutely awesome time online with The Conduit and that was 3 months after release and on european servers. And who knows if online is actually going to suck? Maybe it will be made of win? So people, stop nagging and get it!
I would get it if I wasn't getting No More Heroes 2 and Mass Effect 2!
What makes a Disney/Marvel vs such a ridiculous idea that only an 8 year old would enjoy?
I'm 32 own a PS3/Wii/PSP etc etc etc and would love to have a Goofy vs Iron Man match. Unless you have some valid points, you just seem like another tool just hating to hate.
so you'd take Goofy over Alucard? or Snake?
Disney is fine and dandy for a comic relief type of game. But when you're talking about a hardcore fighting game, it would an absolutely joke to have an ENTIRE cast of non-serious cartoon characters vs. some serious capcom guys like Ryu and Akuma.
Capcom vs. Konami would be a badass game, and I'd hate to see capcom take your advice just to make money off little kids, and casual gamers when there's a grip of hardcore gamers who want something more serious.
If you want light cheeky fun, go play kingdom hearts, or super gem fighter, leave the vs. series hardcore.
