Kotaku: crossover potential

Capcom USA "Investigating" Tatsunoko vs. Capcom

We're excited about Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. The game seems like a fun arcade cross-over. Sure, there will be Western arcades that import the game, but will it get an official release outside Japan? Capcom USA is looking into it. No doubt the American licensing issues for the Tatsunoko Productions characters is sticky. Capcom USA's Christian Svensson points out:

We haven't discussed any home console plans for the title yet, so platform discussions are a bit premature. All that's been anounced is arcade... There are a lot of licensing issues around the title given that those properties are held by different companies across the West and they vary by territory greatly. It was created as a Japan-only project but we're investigating.

That's sure nice of Capcom.

Capcom has announced two new characters for upcoming fighter Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes. The game will feature Batsu Ichimonji from Capcom 2-on-2 fighter Rival Schools. (Interesting side note: Batsu was slated to appear in canceled 3D arcade fighter Capcom Fighting All-Stars!) On the Tatsunoko side, space knight Tekkaman will be slicing and dicing. Looks hot!

First Look At Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom

We got our first blurry look at Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom courtesy of the pages of Famitsu magazine recently, but the mag's online presence has posted much clearer shots of the 2.5D fighter. It shows off the only confirmed characters—Chun-li, Ryu, Gatchaman and Casshern—and looks... well, it looks rather flat. Odd that Capcom would pump out another Street Fighter game so close to IV, but this one looks to cater to a different crowd, with big, big fireballs and over the top attacks a la X-Men Vs. Street Fighter and Marvel vs. Capcom. Take a peek.
