More Tatsunoko vs. Capcom Info From Nintendo Power

Following yesterday's leak, we have a few more details about the game's localization directly from Nintendo Power.

Scan 1, Scan 2, Scan 3, Scan 4, Scan 5, Scan 6

In brief:

- name being changed to Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars
- online play may be added
- new characters might happen
- due out before the end of this year

"The fans and marketing/sales teams outside of Japan showed a great interest in [Tatsunoko vs. Capcom] and contacted us to find out more about the game," relates producer Ryota Niitsuma. "Such an enthusiastic reaction convinced us that the game could succeed even overseas as a new [entry in the] Vs. series. We listened to feedback from our fans and marketing/sales teams in other territories in order to implement new features to the game this time around. I am very happy to announce that this title is coming to North America for those fans who have long waited for this to be made... and were disappointed last time by its unavailability overseas."

"Asked if there will be any new characters for this version of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, Niitsuma remains coy. "Please stay tuned for a later announcement," he comments.

One feature notably missing from the Japanese version, however, is online competition -an omission that may be corrected for North America. "We are still working this out, but stay tuned for more information coming soon," teases Niitsuma.

  1. Yay! New characters!

    I don't know if this is true or not, but my nephew has a friend that works for Capcom (in California) and he says that there are two new characters from Capcom's side and they're both guys. He could be pulling my nephew's leg and him mine. Anyway, he won't tell me who except for that they're both guys and they're not from Monster Hunter.

    We'll see how this turns out. Maybe I can squeeze it out of him...

  3. I like how Nintendo Power's force to note that Mega Man Volnutt is from Mega Man 64 and not Mega Man Legends 1 and 2.

    I'm glad I chose not to import this game. Working with region lock is such a hassle.

  6. More Mega Man characters? That would be stupid to ask for. There are already two representing two different series. Considering the limited selection of characters other Capcom series need representation. Dante from Devil May Cry has been a long awaited character to be in a fighting game.
