Just saw a thread on NeoGAF about Tatsunoko Vs Capcom being released in NA. The picture is from Nintendo Power from what I read.

Glad it's going to be released. I was going to pull the trigger sooner or later and import it. But now I could just wait for the English translation.

Hopefully it ain't no BS. :D


What do yall think? You think some characters will be left out? Maybe they'll add some online? I don't know but I'm excited for this to come out. :lol:

If the scan is authentic, then it seems that this could have been planned as an e3 reveal.

[Zmonkay]

Already have the import, but will buy again to show support. The fans wanted it, and Capcom actually listened and brought it over. Also, will be nice to know what the hell is going on in the ending vids in English, hehe.

I imported it. But really hope it is released in North America.

Wii owners need more conventional games. Not everyone wants (or can afford) all 3 home consoles and if I'm frustrated having to sift through all the shovelware and party/mini games, they must be very discouraged.

[Irukandji]

I'd pick it up if it was released for 360 but that won't happen. I can't afford a Wii right now.

Posted by Eternal Rain @ GoNintendo:

"I was just checking something on Wikipedia, and apparently it turns out that the company who held the license to Gatchaman (aka “Battle of the Planets”) here in North America had the license expire back in 2007. Guess Capcom had no problems as far as Gatchaman characters are concerned.
Tekkaman apparently ended really early on so it’s possible the NA license with it probably expired a while back.
Yatterman never came out over here so there should have been no worries over it.
Hurricane Polymar only saw international release in Italy so NA is fine in that regard.
Golden Warrior Gold Lightan only aired in Japan, Hong Kong, and Bulgaria so there was no company holding the NA license.
Karas was localized here by Manga Entertainment rather recently so Capcom likely had to get a deal with them.
The Genie Family also only aired internationally in Italy so NA’s fine I guess.
And lastly, Gyakuten! Ippatsuman never got released outside of Japan so it’s fine, I guess.
Wonder who these “13 companies” were then…"

[detectiveconan16]

Interesting... But why the hell can't we get Jump Super/Ultimate Stars over here?! Viz basically licensed most of the more vital series in that game.
I imagine this is easier to license since it has less series... I await this game with open arms. Gold Lightan vs. Ryu? And in English? Eff yeah!

[s2k]

Yes i already had this game since release and i cant wait till it comes here so maybe they will have tournaments for it close to release date.

I really want it as well. This game is making me keep my wii. ;)

I just bought it from Play-Asia when it was on sale a couple weeks back.

I hope nothing major gets added to the NA version. That sounds bitter, but I don't want to see online and new chars and such for a game I could've waited on.

After I looked over the roster, Capcom may decide to add a couple of extra and more familiar characters into the game. In the US, nobody even knows half these characters. Or, maybe, Capcom won't care because most Wii owners will dismiss the title because it doesn't have a stupid over-hyped peripheral included inside or Mario.

Honestly, I'm not sure why Capcom chose to distribute this title only through the Wii. Unless, the arcade hardware is similar to the Wii architecture, which would allow a cheap seamless port (see Dreamcast and Naomi). The Wii does not have a solid stick and online play is a hassle and not robust. Also, this type of title is not well-suited for most US Wii gamers. With online multiplayer fighting games moving to the forefront of gaming, more than likely, TvC would probably do better on the other systems.

I will still buy this day one, but I would rather have it on 360 with LIVE support and use a TE stick. Anyways, I hope the title does well because I like seeing these games come stateside.

[eastx]

They really should add Speed Racer. I know he's not a huge fighter, but he's the most recognizable Tatsunoko character for American audiences.

Opportunity, you can mod a TE stick to work with GameCube/Wii (http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=184787). It is a fair amount of trouble though.

Sounds like somebody's got a case of the Mondays.

[UjnHunter]

If this is indeed true, I really hope they add extra modes, new characters, and bonuses because everyone who REALLY wanted this game already has the Japanese version. I won't double dip unless this is the case. Or until it hits the bargain bin.

[jlew]

Is the Hori fighting stick for the Wii worth getting? I have a couple Ps2 and Xbox fightsticks. Would a PS2/Xbox to Gamecube controller adapter work with the Wii?

[Wolfkin]

Dude it may not be 'tournament worthy' but :wii: has the Hori fighting stick. I'm not trying to go rabid fanboy on your but
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtV6-Ke1p5k

i mean wow what wouldn't be better with Live for online instead of friendcodes. Outside of Strikers and Mario Kart I can't think of any time I was completely satisfied with a :wii: online experience, but hey at least it's something. Half the reason online sucks on :wii: is because we rarely get anything worth playing online. Noone is going to improve the online tools unless we get online games.

[rocky435]

The game is built off of a arcade board that has the same power as the wii.

That's why I don't get it when people keep telling capcom to put it on the 360/PS3, because sadly it's not going to happen. Basic online play is nice. Granted i clearly understand the need for voice chat/in game messaging but meh.

The game overall looks gorgeous on a hdtv in 480i. I don't get it to have it 1080i/p it looks good as it is. I mean if you go to japan and play in an arcade, it will look the same as the wii version. Hence it's a perfect/near perfect port.

I hope too there isn't much added to the NA verison. I'm sure the japanese will get a rerelase of the game with the NA features...:lol:

Why can it not happen? Are you trying to say that the PS3/360 cannot run a game designed for wii hardware?

And people want it on PS3/360 for more then just the graphics upgrade (the Wii version is jaggy as all heck, i have the game). There is an actual robust online system on the 360/PS3 that works and doesnt need friend codes or any other garbage. They also have a mic system running on both platforms. Ontop of that, both platforms have tons of available options when it comes to arcade sticks and fighting pads.

Seriously, grow up with the wii fanboy crap. I would purchase this game on PS3 and 360 if it were to come out. I have the japanese Wii version tho and its ok, but on a actual proper platform, the game would really shine.

[eastx]

I fully agree with Blitz6. I'd much prefer it on the other consoles, and Capcom would undoubtedly sell more copies if they produced such versions, but the Wii version is still a great game.

[rocky435]

I'm not being a fanboy.By any means, I own all three consoles since certain games are exclusive. I'm just stating the facts and the jamma board that it's built off of wasn't designed to be ported over to the system. People seem to miss this and therefore my logic is thinking that capcom won't do it.

I understand it would be better on the ps 3/360 but i think capcom wouldn't add 1080i/p graphics it would be like MvC 2 where it's just upscaled and be smoothed out which to me would be a bit of a letdown. Because honestly MvC 2 demo was nice but I have a feeling TvC would have the same fate graphics wise. I might be wrong.

Tatsunko vs. Capcom is a very neat game but has some damn obscure charcters even the capcom side has the lead character from the fourth omniusha game and Saki Omokane, even batsu from rival schools is sightly obscured since not many people i knew owned that game expect for me.
I mean even if it's still ported to the 360 or PS 3 it would still be obsecure to mainstream gamers and I believe possibly sell poorly.

This is off topic but I beileve that Capcom is possibly trying to make a MvC 3 by massing funds from MvC 2 and TvC to show the higher ups that it's possible to make a multi-million dollar plus VS. game again and maybe have marvel on board too. Which it already appears that way.

Overall I don't see Capcom taking the effort to port it over. Sales is a question,Relevancy,Capcom has other games to work on etc. I would laugh though seeing a wii game ported upward to the PS 3/360. It would be like having a 35mm film blown up on an IMAX screen. :lol:

[eastx]

Did you laugh at Bionic Commando Rearmed? After all, that used to be an NES game. Or how about Super Street Fighter 2 HD? According to your logic, porting games to more powerful systems results in little to no benefit. You're ignoring the fact that they can add as many improvements as they want. If they improve nothing, it's the same great game on a console with better online features and display. If they take advantage of the hardware, an already good game ends up looking and sounding better.
If Tatsunoko took some kind of special advantage of the Wii hardware, you might have a point. But it doesn't; it's just a 3D arcade game developed on the weakest console hardware available. It can only go up, not down.

[rocky435]

I didn't laugh at BC:Rearmed. I was impressed. But then again it took a lot of persuasion of the higher ups(Capcom Japan execs) to get the remake going.

My logic is more along the lines that Capcom won't go up with this game. It's about money and time. I think they will make other games that and that localizing to North American audiences for the wii is as far as it's going to go.

I'm all for it being on PS 3/360. I just don't see Capcom throwing more money into it. It's possible that the wii version could just be the testing the waters to see if it's even worth spending money and time porting over to the other two consoles. I clearly understand it's not hard to go up, but my question does Capcom feel the need to port it up???

But besides graphics and language barrier I thought the game played great and even before I had a hori arcade stick it preformed wonderfully. That's why to me graphics don't matter a whole since the game played well.

We all should be having a party since at least the game is coming over here. Capcom as a company as least for the most part localizes thier games ala the phoneix wright series and this game to satisfy American fans. Whereas, something like the mother series may never see American shores.

[oemor]

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

1 character removed & 5 new ones & online play. can't wait for this

Hmm with online play I guess I will be picking up the NA version. But they really need to fix the looping combos in this game. Its fun for a bit, but oh so broken.

MadKatz is also bringing an arcade stick over. It plugs into the Wiimote and is wireless, and is basically a "port" of the 360/PS3 Fightstick, which is the mid-quality (but still very good) offering.

Sadly, it most likely will become a one-trick pony in terms of honest fighters, but I'd love to be wrong on that. I just don't see too many fighting games coming out that would honestly require it. Which means, crap like Castlevania Dumbment and Tofailden instead of actual real fighting games.

The Hori one is nice, but ever since picking up TE sticks from Mad Katz, I can't go back. So Imma find a way to snag that Wii one on the cheap, because it looks really nice.

[blitz6speed]

I have a modded T5 with Sanwa parts and the convert for the wii ready to go for this game.

[snowmint]

Alright whats the best deal. Amazon/Walmart including a 10$ gift card. Preorder at Gamestop for bonus trading cards. Preorder at Gamecrazy for keychains?

[seanr1221]

This and NMH2 the day before a major exam? FML.

[foltzie]

I have a modded T5 with Sanwa parts and the convert for the wii ready to go for this game.

How does that work?

[The_Spaceman]

I so want the Game + Stick combo, but I already have a Hori arcade stick. Decisions, decisions.

[Zero_Kirby]

I might pick up classic controller pro for this

[blitz6speed]

How does that work?

I use the Mayflash PS2->GC adapter. Got it from ebay and it works flawlessly with my modded T5 stick which is PS2. I tried it on the japanese TvC and it worked just fine. Although the game was essentially useless without online so i stopped playing it. Very excited to get the US release for online play alone. Lets see if its going to be any good or will it be a disaster like Smash online.

Ps2 to gamecube controller adapter but I tried that route with TvsC Jap and it switched the buttons around making it more trouble then it was worth. So they got rid of the character specific background music? Weak

[rocky435]

wow glad i pre-ordered from gamestop. sort of. but trading cards are still awesome since 100 of them will be signed by the game's producer. Well that is if your lucky enough to obtain one. ;)

Sign those damn cards Niitsuma-san sign them for the nerds!!!! :lol:

[LostRoad]

^ I would be hoping more that they took out all of the damn looping combos that where in the JPN version.

I saw that earlier and I get this Robot Chicken vibe from it. That is an awesome commercial.

[meerkatgamer]

I can't wait to pick this up to see what type of cards I get.

I have some gift card for best buy from Christmas I'm wondering should I get the Hori stick or the madkatz Tatsunoko vs Capcom stick?

I guess Hori would be best since it's cheaper, but I like that the madkatz one has artwork on it..

[rocky435]

I know people might disagree with my statement and that's cool.

But I've been thinking since playing the japanese version it feels like Marvel vs. Capcom 1.5. It's fast but not overally fast MvC 2. Which is some ways I like. It feels like I can keep up with the game moreso, then MvC 2.(I still love it the game but it can get crazy fast).

The thing that gets me excited is the online mode. I don't expect to it to be 360 or PS3 quality but at least matches will play smoothly for the most part.

Maybe I'm wrong about this but Capcom has kept the online in the dark which sort of worries me a little. I still have faith, but with how other online wii games, well for fighters brawl, but I'm not quite sure that is a fair example since it's made by Nintendo. Hopefully Capcom will come out with some good networking code.

[arcadegamer]

i just buy it from amazon with gaming credit because the cards cool are most likely not get gamestop with preorder it withit the two weeks definitely like to save money instead

I think you are pretty dead on with saying it is a Marvel 1.5.

I wouldn't worry to much about the online play, this seems to their flag ship game to test the net code they will be using for their online games. With MH3 coming out soon I would think ( and hope ) they spent some time on it to get it a lot better than what others have done with their online games for the Wii.

On top of that they have taken out most ( not all, or not comfirmed yet ) of the looping that was in the JPN version so that is a big plus.

[Puffa469]

I have the blue and white Hori stick for Wii and it is very cheap. Nothing at all like Hori sticks for other consoles. I would say it's not worth the $50. I got it awhile ago to play GG Accent Core.

I'm thinking about getting the Madcatz stick, does anyone know if that has real Sanwa buttons and stick?

[KingBroly]

It's made out of the same parts as the SFIV SE sticks.

[Strell]

Actually it's slightly higher quality, if initial reports are to be believed. Sort of an inbetween with the SE and TE.

I want one. Will have to find a way to get it cheap.

[Rig]

Wonder if I could get a decent amount for my Japanese copy of the game? Ugh.

If this is not released on PS3 / 360, Capcom will not get my money. I just can't imagine playing this with a Wii-mote. No thanks. I have a TE Mad Catz stick for PS3 and that's how the game should be played.

How many soccer games will buy this to go along with their Wii fit and cooking games?

Can I do a dragon punch like Ryu with a wii remote or a Hadouken with my hands then this will show up on the screen? Haha! Seriously...

[seanr1221]

"soccer games."

If it's highly successful, then it will more than likely be ported over to other systems.

This was the cheapest and easiest way for Capcom to put this game out because the original arcade hardware is extremely similar to the Wii. On a title like this, they needed to reduce their risk.

[Scorch]

My kmart has this for sale already

[Strell]

I love the outpouring of "IT OUGHTA BE ON THE HD TWINS!" bullshit that shows up every time a game happens to come out that's Wii exclusive. Turn it around and people would still be just as console militant asinine, double standard card carrying idiots talking about how "The Wii doesn't deserve ______ on it, for any number of reasons only us internets people can understand and faf around about."

Boy, you sure dropped that uncaring attitude quick the moment Megaman wants to rumble with Frank West. Be sure to come back in a week talking about how you now totally don't care again because "the game sucks, I totally played it at my buddy's house and we decided to just play [PS360 game here] instead."

Bottom line: Shut the fuck up if you're just going to be an idiot about this. It's not on your system, get over it. It might show up later, get over it. I want Katamari but I'm not going into the threads around here just to bitch.

For a bunch of jaded Wii hating groupies, all of you sure have your periods synced up.

[gkrykewy]

I would actually go the other way with this, and hope that if TvC does well (and there does appear to be some buzz), SSFIV ends up ported to Wii. I think that would actually sell very very well.

[Kreutz]

@ Strell's rant:

It would be nice if this game were eventually released on the other two systems primarily because both have a larger fighting game fan-base (speculated solely from the 2009 fighting game releases... SF4, BB, MvC2, T6...). Personally, I'd also like it better on a system where I can talk to my friends if I am doing a player match. Nintendo fails at online vocal communication.

That said, I am already aware of why this game was released for the Wii. I was tempted to import this before it was announced that it was going to be locallized. I'll pick it up on Wii, hopefully SL4IN will too, and we can all beat the living shit out of each other when we next get together.

Unfortunately, I do not forsee playing this game online a lot because I have a better stick for my 360 (and the aforementioned fighting games to play with) and I like being able to talk to, and hang out with, my friends when I do player matches. This game will just have to spark a revival in going over to friends' places.

[LostRoad]

You know there are sticks, plus converters for the Wii right( the game also supports pad players )? Really if you want to troll the Wii threads put some damn effort into it, at least make a cock joke shit.

['Cube Daddy]

I work with this soccer game who, if you ask it, will totally talk your ear off about the whole "vs." series. It's buying this game on day one.

Piss off, you.

[iPlayConsoles]

preordered today...super excited :) Not sure if I want to order the stick or not... I've got 2 sticks for 360 and 1 for ps3... I bought a classic controller today, just in case I don't order one.

[fart_bubble]

friend bought it on Friday (Gamestop). It's pretty good but I have to admit that we did find ourselves playing the mini games more than the actual game

Oasis, just because someone likes something doesn't make him a fanboy.

Man.... I don't know if I should preorder this today or just hold out for a price drop in the future (I already have the original Japanese version and I'm going to be busy with Star Trek Online for a while).

[LostRoad]

Do I smell Nintendo fanboy?

And what did I say that made me sound like a fanboy? You made dumbass comments and I corrected you on them. If you took the time to even look though this thread I have been the one bitching about how broken the JPN version of this game is. Reading comprehension is a skill you should really work on.

You should pick it up Bomber, if not this is what you will get each time I see you on.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjqNQtFwTsI&NR=1

[rocky435]

I'm going to gamestop to see if they have the cards in yet. They usually get the pre-order items in early. Maybe the game too.

It feels like this thread went downhill a tad. I dunno about others but i've owned the jap version for over a year a now and I've been using the classic controller and my hori arcade stick. I understand people taking jabs for capcom not bringing the game to the hd consoles. But seriously, the only time you use a wiimote is play to minigames to earn points to unlock stuff.

Anyways I'm wondering if there will be a cag trading thread for the trading cards that come with the gamestop pre-orders. Any takers???

[blitz6speed]

The online is, simply put, REALLY bad. I played with a buddy in florida, we usually play SF4 on ps3 all the time, and simply put, it was an unplayable mess. If you are thinking of getting this for online gaming, wait till it hits bargain bin (which will be lightning fast considering the netcode is insanely bad).

I've heard that the online for Tatsunoko is between SSBB (some say is the worst for online..?) and Mario Kart Wii (best). In other words, there is some lag, but not too bad. I look forward to trying the game for myself.

You told me to make my comments into "cock joke shit." That's a sign of a fanboy when they get mad as hell and starts with cursing right away.

Additionally, you get all defensive on this post and "how you corrected me". What did you correct me on? That I cannot make hadoukens with a wii-remote and my hands? I was just making a simple joke and the fanboys right away jump on me. :lol:

Also, I don't have time to read 6 - 7 pages of comments. Reading comprehension is not an issue for me. FYI, I am working on my MBA at Penn State.

Ok, enough of my rants, go ahead and enjoy the game.

This is why the game should be released on 360 or PS3... If SF4 can handle online well, then why the same cannot be said about this game on the Wii?

[The_Spaceman]

Listen, I can tolerate people who have different view points, but this thread has seemed to devolve into "It should be on a better system WAH" and "It's fine on the current system exclusive WAH!". Yes I know I'm exaggerating the view points

So it's on the Wii big deal. It's not the end of the world.

I'm going to buy the game tomorrow and enjoy it, online and offline! Yes that means I may have to go over to friends place with my Wii, I don't know what kind of person I am thinking that!

[seanr1221]

They should encourage Wii owners to buy it. If it tanks, don't expect to see a sequel in the states.

I'm picking mine up at midnight :D

It's out tomorrow or is shipping date tomorrow?

[rocky435]

Let's all just settle this with some 2 on 2. :lol:

Doesn't matter if you can play on a 360,Wii, or PS 3 hell even the virtual boy. I wanna see some Yatterman 1 and Ryu v. Gold Lightan...... it will be epic.

Heck I'll let anybody play as G.Lightan as a freebie. ;)

[greyzieoriental]

I got my copy early! English version is the way to go, now if only I could find the FAQs to unlock the new characters in the US version. I want to play Zero damn it. Also Frank West(?) isn't unlocked yet. I'm not sure who else is in the game, but it's still fun even after giving the JPN version a long break.

If only they would've brought this to the next gen consoles and made it with SFIV graphics. That's the only downside I see in this game. Also, I have no clue about any Tatsunoko characters. They obviously had a big part in Speed Racer.

[coolsteel]

For Frank West

Finish the game (get the final hit on the boss) with three separate Capcom characters



For Zero

Finish the game (get the final hit on the boss) with six separate Capcom characters.

For Tekkaman Blade

Finish the game (get the final hit on the boss) with three separate Tatsunoko characters.

For Joe the Condor

Finish the game (get the final hit on the boss) with six separate Tatsunoko characters.

[rocky435]

Did you also figure out how to unlock yatterman 2 yet??

They said she wasn't too hard to unlock in the gamespot video.

[coolsteel]

The only info I could find, i'm kinda surprised gamefaqs is slacking like this right now

[greyzieoriental]

Thanks coolsteel. I'm sure, I would've found that if I wasn't too lazy to search lol.

[Puffa469]

I hooked up my Wii last night, put some fresh batteries in all my controllers, setup the wireless network connection, upgraded all my channels, etc.

My Wii has been in a box since I moved in April 09. This is the game that finally got me to hook it up.

It's time to reconnect with my Wii and give it some quality time and love. =D

[MasterSun1]

Just picked this up from a fellow GameTZ trader for $38 shipped! Can't wait to play it!

[OnChkMnDS]

Anyone with the preorder cards, would you guys be interested in selling them,?

[Lost_In_Shadows]

OP should update the thread title. So how is the online? I've heard a mixed reaction from people.

[Nirvanaguy777]

Just purchased my copy on my break. I must say I am really excited to get home and pop this bad boy in. I've played the JP version many times; conventions and whatnot, and know what to expect. This game may replace MVC2 as my current most played fighting game.

[The_Spaceman]

I know it's tempting. I picked this up on my lunch break today and I can't play it until I get done working on a laptop. Damn me and having priorities LOL.

[fatez]

online play makes this version worth it. :)

[Droenixjpn]

Hopefully the online play stays around for a long time (1 year - 1 year and a half), since I might just wait for this to lower in price before I purchase it.

So yeah, how's the game so far?

[dragonjud]

Arrggh! How I hate Capcom game bosses. Was enjoying the game until I got to the Arcade single player boss. I hate you Capcom, and your cheap bosses!!!!

[foltzie]

Blame SNK, they seem to have permanently borrowed that from the VS SNK series.

[The_Spaceman]

Meh I set the game on easy so I can beat the arcade mode and unlock characters lol.

[officerrickyross222]

gotta pick this up soon! heard nothing but good things. is the online good ??

[The Great BM]

I don't know if anyone here has played the Japanese version, but IMO the soundtrack has taken a turn for the worst. They replaced the classic cartoon themed music with this half-assed early 90's electronica.

Also, I find the online to have significant lag. I've never played Street Fighter IV online, but I think there's enough delay to make the gameplay somewhat uncomfortable.

I'm thinking of getting a LAN Adapter, since Wi-Fi usually isn't the best way to play online games. Does anyone have experience with this? Does this improve online play at all?

[coolsteel]

Meh I set the game on easy so I can beat the arcade mode and unlock characters lol.


I did the same and man those early matches are hilarious like that, the other fighter barely moves so you're free to just spam specials.

I know! I'm really missing being able to use Karas with his music but i'm thinking when this gets a re release in Japan it will probably be put back in .

It also doesn't have Indestructible. Every Capcom game from now on should have Indestructible in it somewhere.

And by somewhere, I mean EVERYWHERE.

♪Indeeeeeeeeeessssssstruck-ib-aaaaaaaaalll!♪

[rocky435]

That song needs to be nominated for a Grammy. :lol: Indestructible song of the year!!!!!!

It could potentially beat out lady gaga and the black eyed peas.

I didn't mind Tatsunko's opening theme since they kept the Japanese theme music. As others have said i do miss the theme music for each character, it operated smoothly and was sexy in a geeky way.

The mini games being pulled out i do miss. The Ryu hadoken waving the wiimote one was amazing in the jap version. Knocking away stone pillars provided hours of entertainment.

Overall I love the american version otherwise it works well, the combo seem to connect a little better. Yatterman-2 is going to take a couple more hours to unlock since you have beat the game with all four "new" characters. :cry:

Is it me or are the graphics a little more smoothed out in all-stars over cross generation. I mean they did have to go back and add stages and characters it just looks a tad better.

[The_Spaceman]

Speaking of Grpahics. I found this Via GoNintendo. Tasunoko vs Capcom in hires! http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=19499690&postcount=2138

I know where Lake Jackson is. Because of Google Maps, I mean. But more importantly, don't make me come over there and sing that song while I bust up all those totally sweet joysticks you modded.

[Monsta Mack]

Played a few games online. Latency is not looking hot. I wouldn't say Capcom vs SNK 2 online lag but *pretty* close to that from my experience. I somehow got one flawless match but I have no idea now.

[Lost_In_Shadows]

Just got it a couple of hours ago at Walmart. I fucking love this game!

[skubish]

The online is good. It's been mostly lag free and I always find matches. I always get my ass kicked. I think I need an arcade stick.

[Puffa469]

Been playing Arcade since Tuesday, it's AWESOME soo far.

Going to try out the online play this weekend.

I knew nothing about the Japanese version so I don't miss the music and mini-games that seem to have been cut.

And I'm still trying to get all the gold letters during the end credits. I got up to R in 'For' so far before I missed a letter.

I missed one of the last 3 letters in that. I was so pissed. xD

[rocky435]

I unlocked all the characters yesterday and it was fun. Zero is an awesome charcter but feels too powerful.

Also trying to unlock the shooter mini game left me blue-balled since I missed getting the damn "I" in the, "Thank You For Play ng" :lol:. I'll get it soon, maybe.

Anyways I'm sure some people have seen this, but capcom wants to add phoenix wright as dlc, and ingrid and two tatsunoko charcters, one with roller stakes and a cute bunny girl..(there names are in the article.

http://www.destructoid.com/a-better-look-at-the-stuff-cut-fromtatsunoko-vs-capcom-161902.phtml

[The_Spaceman]

I don't know how DLC would be handled as there is no shop channel to purchase them. I guess they could use the WiiShop channel, but I don't know how it would connect with the game. Plus it would confuse people who haven't bought them game also in the WiiShop Channel.

[PhoenixT]

I know they probably wont' do it but if I could have another capcom char I'd like to play as Felicia from Darkstalkers again I just like her more so than I do Morrigan and I really like Morrigan

[Strell]

I don't know how DLC would be handled as there is no shop channel to purchase them. I guess they could use the WiiShop channel, but I don't know how it would connect with the game. Plus it would confuse people who haven't bought them game also in the WiiShop Channel.

Modern Warfare has demonstrated that a hotfix can be implemented into the game. Some of us might consider this as close to patching as you can get, and depending on how much data is required for it, it could be relegated to internal memory. So it is not impossible - if Activision, of all people, can get it done, there's no reason Capcom can't. Opening up a new mention option would take all of a bit of code and maybe a few images - very small addition - and they've done similar things with Megaman 9 DLC.

Further, "confuse people who didn't buy the game" is really stretching it.

However, I have extreme doubt this will ever come to fruition. Capcom's made some rather bizarre and contradictory noise on this front. Phoenix Wright was denounced as usable a few months ago, when they cited that "his attacks would be too big" if he yelled out OBJECTION! and sent the familiar speech bubble across the screen. I think they even intonated that he never made it past initial design stages because of this.

Within the last few weeks they talked about scrapping other characters for equally odd reasons, including Speed (Speed Racer) because "we couldn't think up a moveset, and didn't want to Captain Falcon him." So you could call that lazy or standing up for the franchise; I don't really care either way. Still an odd answer there.

This is all to say that I have huge doubt that they've got a bunch of usable character data and models sitting around waiting to be used. The only honest option here as I see it is that Nintendo agrees to it and tells Capcom to do it, and then finds a way to sell it in game stores in order to boost presence. Because I'm really doubting Capcom is going to go through the trouble unless the game sells a lot, and the consensus is that this isn't going to happen.

So at the end of the day I think this is a lot of noise on Capcom's part, but also a foregone conclusion because of Nintendo's policies and general attitude regarding DLC.

[SuperPhillip]

As someone who couldn't get into Street Fighter IV, I'm really enjoying this game. Just unlocked Frank West last night. :D

[jer7583]

I wish that ameratsu was in this game..

Having fun with it but everyone is Batsu and Zero online. Gotta learn more!

[Lost_In_Shadows]

Just unlocked Frank West and Zero so far. I also unlocked that mini-game. I've put around 7 hours into the game so far and only had it 3 days... :lol:

[The_Spaceman]

I've seen a great varity of fighters online. Though I haven't seen any of the larger characters.

[PhoenixT]

Yeah its been a long time since I had a vs game myself. I just have a feeling due to the way the controls are on the Wii though this won't be as well recieved as it could be especially given the Wii's focus on a more casual audience. Don't get me wrong I'm glad its on the Wii and gives me a good excuse to boot up the system for hrs on end which I haven't done in a while.

I just have this feeling this game would of been better recieved on a system like the 360 or PS3 which has controllers a little more geared toward fighters and more fighters on it so people like me don't feel torn picking up arcade sticks for the game since they'll get more use out of it than for just this one game.

On another note this was a bad time of the year to release this game. Honestly throwing it up against games like Mass Effect 2, Dark void,Bayonetta and Darksiders not to mention things like White Knight (hugely anticipated PS3 title due out early febuary). So no I don't expect this game to sell all that much they should have found a gap between the long list of AAA titles that got pushed back from December till around now and "then" released it.

I've always thought January was a bad time for any game to come out due to people still paying off holiday debt. Looking at upcoming releases there really isn't a right time, every month features some big release and it sure as hell needed to come out before Super Street Fighter IV.

[PhoenixT]

Yeah I suppose your right given the audiences are similar for the two games at least in my mind I know alot of people who got into this game couldn't get into street fighter 4. Personally I like the tempo of both I like the speed and technical gameplay SF4 offers but theres something about the ease of access and over the top gameplay of the vs games that I love just as much if not more so.

I figured out a easy way to get the yellow letters in that bicycle mini-game.If you beat the game with Roll. You play as her flying on a broom instead of the bicycle thing. ;)

[SteveGo]

As for unlocking the mini-game, try beating the game with Roll, it makes it a lot easier to collect the letters during the credits.

doh: beat to the punch :P

According to the time. I posted the exact same thing as you. :lol:

thanks for the tip

I ordered this last week from amazon w/$10 credit and am now thinking about pulling the trigger on a arcade stick, even though I have gamecube controllers I can use. So what are you guys putting the arcade sticks on when you use them, to make them stable? Also, I might've missed this somewhere, but when are the classic pro controllers coming?

I play with the orig classic controller, mostly because I can't play fighters with an analog stick.

I have the Hori Wii stick (blue and white) but it's a real POS imo.

I can't justify forking out $80 for the Madcatz stick when it doesn't even have Japanese arcade buttons or stick. This is still the best option for those wanting to play with a joystick, but I'd rather wait and hope they release an arcade stick with real Sanwa or Seimitsu parts. Of course it would be more than $80, but some things are worth it.

I see the new classic controller on Amazon, but maybe thats an imported Japanese one? Yup, just checked, its an import.

[PhoenixT]

I actually picked up the madcatz stick last night. Its got really tight controls on it like very tight you need to be very precise on any dragon punch moves to get them to work but once you learn that you can pump them out very fast the buttons are a "little" springy but very responsive and will likely last through alot of abuse. Probably the best thing about it is the weight its nice and heavy and doesn't feel like your going to flip it if you have it in your lap and get really into the game. Oh by the way what Tatsunoko chars are good against Yami freaking guy keeps pinning me in a corner and using that life drain move over and over with them and none of them seem to have a good ranged super that I've found. Heck most of them are close range fighters period with no kind of ranged attack.

[SuperPhillip]

How do you get different levels in the shooter mini-game? Is it only based on what character of four you select?

Anyway, I'm at 53% completed with all characters unlocked.

[M-PG71C]

Well, I did import this game a couple years ago, and needless to say, I'll be buying this one as well, there is enough of a difference to get it again (and show support!) :D

[The_Spaceman]

I've been playing the game with the Hori fighting stick. It's not bad. I've tried the classic controller and to me it doesn't feel natural. I do want to invest in a Madcatz arcade stick.

[Afflicted]

tempted to pick up the stick.... kinda like to have it for new super mario bros.... I never played the older ones on the consoles... just in the arcade so can't get used to playing without a stick.

[Puffa469]

Ugh... I SUCK at the end credits game. I've tried twice now with Roll and I still miss a letter and have to quick out.

NSMB Wii cannot be used with anything other then wiimote.

I just tried more TvC last night, man the lag is so bad online. I do like the game however. Just wish it was more playable.

When you say lag are you talking about how the game plays or do you mean button delay. Some people call button delay lag is why I'm asking. I don't get any lag online just some minor button delay.

Both. I have hundreds of hours of online fighter experience on ps3 and 360, so im familiar with what a working online fighter is like, and TvC is not a proper working one.

[DarkKenpachi]

I have no online lag whatsoever on mine.

I gotta practice more and actually play this game because I really suck right now

[The_Spaceman]

Does anyone have an easy way to earn more Zenny? I'm pretty much going through Arcade mode several times a day for money runs.

[Dr Mario Kart]

If you actually play the credits game at the end of arcade and try to collect every letter you can, not just the gold ones, you should be looking at like 3 million a playthrough? Otherwise, if you beat the All-Star Shooters game, you're looking at 3 million also.

[The_Spaceman]

LOL Well I guess I shouldn't be skipping the credits end game every time.

me too :( i'm slowly sinking in to a deep depression.

Anyone want to play? my code is: 3910-9150-5664

... I know, it's late....

True. I always have button delay sometimes it isn't to bad. Far as lag goes it varies. Sometimes there is none and sometimes its pretty jerky. I've noticed with almost every game on Wii the button delay isn't what it should be at all. Only exception I can think of is Mario Kart Wii. Its like playing it offline.

I'll add you to my list and post my FC soon. I'd really like to get some friend matches in as I believe it unlocks the second Batsu icon (1 of 3 I still need).

Here's my FC: 2880-1007-4672

[Lost_In_Shadows]

I unlocked all the characters a couple of days ago. Out of the extra characters Joe The Condor is my favorite. I also think. Joe The Condor should have been last to unlock instead of Yatterman-2

Yea, I imported it when it dropped last year but I just bought the US version tonight.

Damn you Capcom

[asianxcore]

Is there a quicker/better way to earn money in the US version of TvC? I know the JPN version had various Mini-Games for each character in the game you could earn quick money.

I'm at 40% unlocked and I haven't even unlocked all the characters yet :)

Getting bored of playing the End Credits and I didn't really like the All Star Shooters
