Tatsunoko vs. Capcom

[thop]

This game is a bit niche, and probably not on the radar of most gamers ... until now! A list of all 26 characters is at the link below and surely everyone will find one character they like.

Out next week in EU/US/JP on Wii.

i was looking forward to this after playing it at a buddies who had imported it, but i sold my wii to pay for a 5870 hope it comes to psn!

if you like fighting games and have a wii you should get it, it plays like a sequal to MVC2

It's not going to be released on any other system. And it's an updated version of the previously only in Japan released game, with new characters and other changes. It will also also be re-released in Japan next week.

As a 3D fighter on Wii, it looks superb! Very smooth and convincingly shaded. Shame about the jaggies, but from what I'm seeing this title deserves more recognition just for looking so good on the lil' white box!

I have my copy already pre-ordered. I got the Hori Fighting sticks for $40 at EB Games just for this (and a couple of shmups games I have).

IGN also has a review of it as well.

Edit: Here's some videos to get people aquianted with the Tatsunoko side of characters:

There's Guilty Gear XX Accent Core/Plus whatnot with it's various updated rereleases. Not to mention the King of Fighters Collection: Orochi Saga and the Samurai Showdown Anthology. I got the former of the two.

Don't forget Virtual Console and the various version of Street Fighter 2 for it.
