SDCC: New screens, art and video from Tatsunoko Vs Capcom photo

#Capcom #Comic-Con #Fighting Games #screenshots #wii

Sure, we've all seen Tatsunoko Vs Capcom before. Hell, it's been out in Japan for so long that we've even managed to give it a proper review by now. But the following screenshots and videos are from the North American version, and that makes them new, right? (Shhh, just agree.)

In any case, you might not have been paying attention when media for the Japanese release made its rounds, considering we had no idea if we'd ever get to play it. Now that we know for sure it's coming to the Wii in the US, it might be a good time to perk up and take a look, even if it's just to refresh your memory.

In the gallery and after the jump, you'll find the latest pics and videos from SDCC, featuring action from the North American version of Tatsunoko Vs Capcom. There seems to be more focus on Viewtiful Joe here to cater to an American audience, but otherwise I don't spot too many differences. You?

Joe and Ken, two of the characters I want to play as. ._.
This makes me wish I had a Wii. Hopefully it comes to other consoles someday.
*crosses fingers*.

Los255

I hope they announce that new character they had to add because another couldn't be kept for the US version cause of licensing.

Please let it be Dante.....Please.

phantomile

I'm still just waiting for them to announce the new characters. I'm gonna be getting this either way, but it would sell a LOT more units if they added Dante.

Dan CiTi

I hope the new characters are interesting AND fun to play as, no matter who they are. Is that Viewtiful Joe's english actor? I couldn't tell but he better be in the game.

I really do hope they do their best to rebalance the game, I know it is a versus game and all but come on, Karas and Chun-Li are ridiculous.

pedrovay2003

I'm so ready for this game...

Cadtalfryn

I'm really looking forward to playing this (hopefully with online). It looks like an absolute blast.

GoldenGamerXero

I can't wait for this game. I'm starting to get hyped for an awesome fighter on the Wii!

s0lesurviv0r

Did they really get rid of the character themes for the US version??? The music that are in these recent us version vids seem as forgettable to me as SF4's music.

Holyetheline

I'll buy this one just for Viewtiful Joe!

covah

I was hoping they'd announce the new characters at ComicCon

chuchoyei

They got rid of Hakushon Daimaō it was said on the evo stream.
Apparently the game is also rebalanced technically making the american version more of a second version than just a localization.

Roager

I already imported, and I almost hope they don't impove everything. It would kinda suck to have to buy the game again.

Crunshii

how come this game is coming to the wii and not the ps360? what gives?

Roager

Also, fuck yes on the "billion damage" thing on the hit counter. That's awesome.

Wan Sum Dung

Sweetness.

Roager

Crunshii: Cuz Capcom already made SF4 for those. They wouldn't want to compete with themselves. They make more money doing things like this, it brings attention, and if and when they make a sequel/port, everyone will jump on it. Capcom's a successful company, and it's cuz theyre smart.

JLanphear

I played this at the Anime Expo and it is wicked fun. I need to get a Wii so I can play this.

xiaolinstyle

@Roager no no and NO! Has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with anything you stated.

Its exculsive to the Wii SOLELY because Nintendo WANTS it that way. NO OTHER REASON. Nintendo has exculsivity rights and they are going to hold fast to that bad boy for as long as they possibly can.

TvC is NOT NOT NOT a substitute for SFIV. In fact TvC sold horribly in japan because it was a Wii only title. It might do a bit better here in the states ,but we will see.

Capcom, for the reason I stated above, has said that it would be more likely for us to see TvC2 on PS3 and 360 than the first.

EggmaniMN

xiaolin style/crunshii - The game is on the Wii because the arcade version of Tatsunoko basically runs off a Wii. It is by far the easiest to translate to, not because Nintendo wants it that way or whatever bs you're trying to shove off but because it's already running on Wii architecture at the arcade. It didn't sell horribly because it's a Wii-only title. That is absolutely retarded.

The statement about TvC2 being more likely on 360/PS3 than the first game is basically just saying, "Don't count on seeing it anywhere else." Companies reuse arcade boards and such and if a second game shows up, it'll be on the same engine.

xiaolinstyle

@EggmaniMN I know WHY Nintendo has exclusivity rights, and YES they so do WANT it to be a Wii only title. Exclusives sell systems. But I guess youve missed out on 30 effing years of console wars.

Are you seriously trying to tell me that TvC would NOT have sold more copies if it had been on all three systems? Or even just on 360/PS3? ROFL. Man you are either a Wii fanboy or a moron.

Crunshii

ill just wait for the PS360 version. I'll be more than satisfied with MvsC2 until then.

In the mean time... play my puppets, play!
(crap... I see the Heroin Silverdragon coming!)

BulletTrain

RAWR RAWR RAWR. I'm arguing on the internet.

Anyways, Its nothing to get worked up about because TvC isn't that amazing of a fighter from what I've seen and read.

Go buy a copy of BB if you want to play an amazing fighting game.

tirkaro

TvC is not coming to the PS360. It will never come to the PS360. Stop saying it will come to the PS360, nor will any other installment running on the same engine, because it's not, end of story.

The music sounds better for these videos.

chuchoyei

@xiaolin style
Proof that nintendo has exlusivity rights please. If not stfu.
Its not on 360/ps3 because capcom didnt know if it was going to be sucesssful, in fact it didnt sell well in japan and people doesnt play it in the arcades anymore. It was a surprise it was announced for america for that reason. If the game was hd and running on taito x2 it would have cost a lot more. It was more of a business decision to leave it as a wii exclusive since you cannot port it in its current state.
Really stop using the facts you take off your ass.

Topher Cantler

HEY. You kids keep it down. So help me, I'll turn this post around...

Chronic Logic

But will it be better than Marvel vs Capcom 2?

Palidi

No, I hope they didn't toss out the character themes for this version. I don't like the music I've been hearing in these trailers so far.

xiaolinstyle

@chuchoyei The PROOF is that despite WIDE spread call for TvC to be on ANYTHING but the Wii Capcom has categorically refused to say it will EVER happen.

Now I know economics might be hard for your fanboy brain but, lets see... If I want to sell as many copies of a game as I can I am going to produce it for the biggest market for my game. So in this case,a fighting game, that would be PS360. Oh wait thats right I CANT. Because Nintendo wont let me. Crap well next best thing is to bring it state side so I can get a few more dollars out of it.

Why is this such a hard thing to believe? Seriously? Do you really believe that Capcom WANTS to sell TvC to the smallest demographic for fighting games? Come on this is so obvious. If they could make TvC for PS360 they WOULD. They WANT to sell the crap outta this game. They know where thier market is. Why they didnt bother to dumb down SFIV for the Wii. Its business not a favor/disregard to Wii owners. Get your fanboy head outta yo ass.

chuchoyei

@xiaolinstyle
I like how i dont even own a wii but you are callig me a fanboy. Believe me i would be so happy if capcom releases tvc on ps3/360 it just not going to happen.
Then again we got mvc2 which is the better game.

EggmaniMN

xiaolinstyle - you are definitely one of the dumbest people I have ever come across.

This isn't hard to understand. The arcade version of Tatsunoko runs on Wii hardware. That is basically it. They aren't going to completely redo the game in HD and for completely different hardware unless the game is a guaranteed hit.

I know this must be hard for your tiny brain to figure out, but it has nothing to do with anything Nintendo has ever said. Capcom made it on different hardware and is then putting it on the system that is basically the same hardware. The end.

You have zero proof of anything.

ClimaxEmperor

Wow...Sooooo many Idiots. I'm not sure what to say about the whole porting issue...But in terms of Japanese version. The Wii version sold like crap becuase, Gamers are playing it in the arcade in fact it's in terms of all fighting games. People are going around saying that People didn't play the arcade version. Which they did do. But none of you have proof nor facts stating your statements that the arcade version failed. You guys are such Marvel vs. Fanboys that any one else Capcom teams with you would just bash it. Sure, I'm sure no one is playing the arcade anymore in fact Japanese gamers don't play the vs series that much anyway. So it doesn't matter if it's Marvel or SNK. Tatsunoko vs Capcom had it's run in the arcades but with new RPGs coming out in Japan. Not that many gamers are in the arcades today. So it didn't fail, Leave your fanboyism before you log in and do some research before running your mouth on the internet.
