Tatsunoko VS Capcom: TO AMERICA!

[Polnareff]

This is a surprising announcement. I would have thought that this would have remained a Japan only release for similar reasons as Namco X Capcom. Doesn't Tatsunoko have very little exposure overseas?

Actually no, unless you're talking about the US and parts of Europe. Most of Europe loves the Tatsunoko characters.

Some confirmed details about the English port:

-Will have new stages
-Hakushon Daimaoh (the genie) has been cut out of the game due to licensing issues. Which is odd considering how big "The Genie Family" (called "Bob in a Bottle" in Italy) was in Europe.
-Capcom may add 5 new characters. But this detail hasn't been confirmed yet.
-They also may add online to the game (the Japanese version didn't have it).
-The onscreen HUD has been redesigned.
-Certain balance issues like Roll being able to repeatedly OTG Daimaoh (i.e. hit him repeatedly when he's laying down) have been fixed or are in the process of being fixed.

Also, about Namco x Capcom, its omission from overseas release was because Namco was scared that a lot of the characters would be too obscure for any audience that wasn't Japanese. So Namco canned the translation of the game. Completely different from this situation. Capcom tried to get as many licenses as they could and they did.

I'd prefer Mia Fey as a playable character, but it's not happening.

That would be so cool. His super would be a giant loud-ass "OBJECTION!"

Does Europe have some sort of love toward Speed Racer? He's the face of Tatsunoko... in America!

Also, since Capcom said something about 5 new characters at the ratio of 3 Tatsunoko/2 Capcom, I suggest:

Tatsunoko: Speed Racer, Samurai Pizza Cats, and Space Ace (Tatsunoko's 1st anime)

Capcom: Jin Saotome (Cyberbots: Full Metal Madness), Tessa (Red Earth)

As for the Capcom suggestion I presented, both characters' respective series never got pushes... in America! (and Europe too!)

I know it'll never happen, but I wanna see some Gunbird 2 characters in this.


I mean, Morrigan was in the Dreamcast version of the game... I wanna play as Marion or Aine! =O
