Wow, this is incredible; the game looks nice so far. How did Capcom get its 2D artists back? I really, really hope TVC isn't being developed by Arc System Works...

Anyway, Tatsunoko Fight on the PS was already a hugely fan-oriented fighter but only included the main fighting-oriented series so hopefully this game will expand upon that and include oddities like Speed Racer and the Time Bokan villains.

I thought for a moment this was some sort of actual legal battle about the unreleased Robotech game for the N64. (Macross was made by Tatsunoko, right? And Capcom had been trying to publish it, from what I remember.)

Will Casshan be in this? That would be amazing. Where can I go to see screens?

AFAIK there's only a single magazine scan (from the noted Famitsu announcement) available atm, look around a bit and you'll find it.

Also, IIRC Casshan has been confirmed - personally, of course, I'm with Ganelon in pulling for the Bokan villain trio to make an appearance, heh heh.

Samurai Pizza Cats vs. Megaman?

New sprites?

No wai

JoshF · Post by **JoshF** » Thu May 22, 2008 5:04 am

I bet the object designers are from Tatsunoko.

Ganelon · Post by **Ganelon** » Thu May 22, 2008 6:38 am

It's hard for me to tell from the scan whether KOFXII/Cave style transposed "sprites" are used or whether it's actually full 3D.

Anyway, Seth Killian (fighting gamer and Capcom employee) had this to say about TVC over at SRK:

s-kill wrote: No plans for a US release right now because the character rights situations with the Tatsunoko brands in the US are very complicated. In Japan, one company owns all these character rights. Here, many, many different groups hold the rights to some characters in the game. This means a US release would require a deal with like 25 different groups, and the legal fees from the time/effort there alone would be staggering, even if all these groups were willing to do it for nothing.

I spent hours with this game the last time I was in R+D (a few weeks ago), and I have to say: it is totally rad.

best,
Seth

So it seems anyone interested in the US will need to import it, whatever systems it might be eventually ported to.

Looks like Shinkiro is doing the Capcom portraits and Ikeno is doing the Tatsunoko ones.

D · Post by D » Thu May 22, 2008 11:01 am

I think it will be 2.5 D like battle fantasia and developed by arc sys.
But what is tatsunoko. i read some things baout it, but I can't picture anything in my mind.

They should make Capcom vs Konami
With just Castlevania characters and Contra characters fighting capcom fighters!

Casshern would kick Ryu's ass, 100% FACT.

IM HOT! Any Capcom Vs game is awesome in my eyes. the fact its 2D is the icing on the big sexual cake

Cel-shaded, not sprites.

well im happy! it being 3d means they will be able to have a lot more characters in it. be interesting to see if it get US/EU release since a lot of the characters could have some troublesome issues over who owns what rights like most of these things.

From Majoria News - this one's coming to the Wii. The scan also shows what will undoubtedly go down in history as the second-best fighting game character ever (after Dan Hibiki, of course).

Two more scans here and here.

D · Post by D » Wed Sep 17, 2008 4:24 pm

Yes, the wii is getting some fighting games now.
Castlevania and this.

Lordstar · Post by **Lordstar** » Wed Sep 17, 2008 4:27 pm

I can safely say this wont reach the west. The Anime is too japanese for the west to really feel it. its something worth importing though.

Elixir · Post by **Elixir** » Wed Sep 17, 2008 4:42 pm

Wii? Well, that's a surprise. Considering the Wii's online capabilities are extremely limited with only a handful of games supported, the optimal choice would be the PS3 and 360. I just figured this would come out for them like SFIV is. I wonder if there's going to be any online rankings, player history, etc. Judging from Brawl.. probably not. Can't say that this is the most mature move on their part, given that the Wii doesn't have any worthwhile arcade sticks or controllers (of any kind), but I'm sure it's going to sell heaps.

Hopefully BlazBlue won't follow the same path.

Bootaaay · Post by **Bootaaay** » Wed Sep 17, 2008 5:08 pm

Apparantly it's because it's developed on Wii-based arcade hardware - whereas BlazBlue isn't, and is also natively 720p so will probably (hopefully) be coming to a console that supports that resolution. Also, I could've sworn I saw a rumour a while back that BlazBlue would launch early 2009 as an exclusive downloadable title for PSN.

Wii motion for hundred-hand-slap? Console port has MAJOR potential.

FIL · Post by **FIL** » Wed Sep 17, 2008 11:03 pm

Karas seems like an odd choice, he's hardly one of Tatsunoko's biggest characters, though he is pretty recent I guess.

Well, names like Speed Racer, Gatchaman and even Casshern do ring a few bells in the US and across Europe. Hell, I even remember Gatchaman from my early childhood in communist Poland

And since when do you have to know the whole background of an anime character in order to enjoy a beat em up?
When it comes to beat em ups, Capcom has basically no competition at all on this platform, in both territories! Last but not least Capcom is not Cave, the let's-keep-it-ghetto-for-the fun-of-it attitude is not their style.
If there's a way to make money off this in the west, they will try.
I would get a Wii for this!
Edit: Damn, this looks good

Again from Majoria - release date is December 11th. Of course, this being the Wii, they had to toss a few minigames in there.

CMoon · Post by **CMoon** » Tue Sep 23, 2008 4:47 am

Isn't there a problem with a US release anyway, since rights to some of the characters (IE Gatchaman) are owned by different companies?
