Tatsunoko vs. Capcom trading cards!?! Yes! Pre-order now! photo

Full disclosure: The excitement in the headline is phony. I won't pretend I'm interested in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All Stars, but I will say that many on our staff are. Like, obsessively interested in this game. At our anniversary party earlier in the year, they played the Japanese version of the title projected on the side of our office building... until 5am. The cops were called. 

So it was surprising when I let them know about this GameStop Tatsunuko vs. Capcom pre-order bonus -- you get eight collectible trading cards. I told them about this two days ago, yet no one seemed to care. This particular story sat in our queue, gathering dusts. So I asked again, "Really? No one wants this story?"

"Probably because it's just trading cards," replied Hamza. 

Uh, these aren't just trading cards. They're "collectible trading cards," part of a 12-card set featuring all of the game's heroes. 100 of them are even signed by the game's producer, Ryota Niitsuma. Neat, right? Tell Hamza he's wrong guys. Tell him how awesome these cards are. Do it for me.

I burned out on trading cards once they brought the second generation of Pokemon out. I was a Pokemon Master damnit! Now I am nothing.

I've already stated my views on this game. No collectables will change my mind.

Where were they stated? I'm curious.

It's annoying that it got pushed back to January. It would have made a great Christmas gift.
Hamza, you fool! Trading Cards are the wave of the future! Soon, they will invent some sort of scannner, or "reader", to read cards in video games. It will be extremely popular! Yes, this electronic reader will be the bee's knees!

I already plan on buying the game, so I may as well go the route that gives me some free bookmarks.

There was a rash of TvsC posts about two weeks ago, including several new videos about Joe the Condor and some other guy I can't remember. I posted on just about all of them saying I wasn't interested unless Waka, Oki, or both were playable characters.

Hey, it's a Capcom game, no?

I think it'll be awesome to put a producer signed trading card in my wallet. Also, Mewtwo EX FTW!

Collectable trading cards are awesome, u guise.

Also, I'm deathly afraid of talking with women.

Well, hell. If MkShiranui isn't interested in this game, why even bother releasing it?
