According to the latest Famitsu, Tatsunoko vs Capcom is indeed coming to the Wii and right now is exclusive for the system as well.

The release date is set for December 11th in Japan. Looks like it's time to start modding or investing in a Japanese Wii because this game will never come to America thanks to the licensing hell Capcom would have to go through.

Or the fact that most Americans couldn't pronounce Tatsunoko to save their lives. I have no faith in America. I'm still baffled by the fact that someone insisted to me that there was a Super Mario game on Playstation 2 because they saw it with their own eyes.

Why is this game not coming to America? Because most Americans are blithering idiots. Now, let's all vote for McCain because of that Palin chick.

Fighting game that will whet the appitates of hard-core fighting game fans on Wii? Yay!

How does the licensing work? Were the various series from Tatsunoko carved up to various American distributors?

Can the homebrew channel run imports without hardware modding or is that still a pipe dream?

I think it was capable of that for quite some time already.

They should get a new deal with marvel and make one more Marvel vs Capcom game with this engine. It would make DC vs Mortal Kombat look like the steaming pile of **** it really is.

You guys can hate on DC vs MK, but I love both to death; so it's nice to see them come together (no matter how bad the game might be). Still, I would have rather seen MK vs Capcom though, mainly because of this:

Marvel vs Capcom is possibly the coolest fighting game ever though and I'd love to see a third. (Hell, I still play the original from time to time on my ps2).

Holy **** balls! There's a third movie?!

I wonder why so many people here defend MK while hating on the "OMG KIDDIE" crowd when MK was the series that pretty much started the whole gore porn crap in gaming.

Stogi · « **Reply #7 on:** September 18, 2008, 10:23:55 AM »

Mortal Kombat is classic.

I'm pretty sure I mentioned before how I played MK2 with my gamegear while taking a bath.....

That's DIEHARD loyalty.

Then again, I haven't played anything since MK4 (which I fuckin LOVE!).

redgiemental · « **Reply #8 on:** September 18, 2008, 11:20:35 AM »

I always felt Mortal Kombat tried to make up for its poorer than Street Fighter with its "OMG ITZ SOOOOOOO GORY!!!!!" feature.

I think KDR is right on the money. How many games since then have been poor in game mechanics but full of guts and gore? Because hell it worked for Mortal Kombat.

Deguello · « **Reply #9 on:** September 18, 2008, 12:57:21 PM »

KDR speaks truth. Mortal Kombat just isn't as robust a fighting game as any of the other ones. It's hook was always blood and death and when that novelty wore off they were stuck with a terrible fighting engine that they've had to rebuild over and over and still haven't got right. (And for the record, MK vs. DC is the stupidest idea I've ever heard.)

Street Fighter only needed one sequel to be great and Smash Bros. was great day one.

Stogi · « **Reply #10 on:** September 18, 2008, 01:03:06 PM »

First off, Mortal Kombat had the dopest voices, settings, and characters for its time. Bar none. Scorpion > Ryu ANYDAY. Plus, who didn't laugh when Lu Kang pulled off his bicycle kick? Who didn't cheer when Rayden electrocuted you to pieces?

Secondly, sure the fighting system was a little broke, but that doesn't matter since you can still be the **** at it and face off with your friends for some hilarious times. The way to get around the "broken" system, is to not fall into traps.

Thirdly, now-a-days SF sucks just as bad as MK.

lol fighting games.

Why can't there be a Massive Multiplayer Online MadWorld Final Fight?
MMOMFF

UltimatePartyBear · « **Reply #12 on:** September 18, 2008, 01:16:24 PM »

I just looked Tatsunoko up on Wikipedia and didn't see much I'm familiar with, but if this game lets me beat down those piece of crap Little Bits in revenge for them always being on Nickelodeon during my TV time as a kid, I'm all for it.

You don't need to physically mod your system for imports. The Homebrew Channel + Gecko Region Free is all you need.

Yes. Push the features that don't matter and downplay the only one that does.

lol. What? No. People still play ST, CVS2, MVC2, and III. Nobody plays any of the MKs. Get out

I hope this comes out for PS3 or XBOX because I don't want to buy a stick or two for my Wii for one game :|

redgiemental · « **Reply #15 on:** September 18, 2008, 07:36:39 PM »

i feel kind of weird being in the majority on this board for a change.

I think I might import this for my girlfriend shes a bit annoyed about street fighter 4 not coming out for the Wii. This could be a good consolation for her.

I knew I shouldn't have watched that. It makes me depressed that we will never get this now...

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #18 on:** October 12, 2008, 08:13:16 PM »

Capcom is working hard to get this to the western world

I don't really know about licensing.Could someone explain it?

Adrock · « **Reply #19 on:** October 12, 2008, 09:52:52 PM »

A crossover game is harder to bring overseas because the publisher needs the rights to x or y property. Case in point, the reason Disney has to wait until next year to bring over Miyazaki's Tales of Earthsea is because stupid SciFi channel made some miniseries in 2004 and they hold the rights until 2009. Tatsunoko is an animation company so Capcom would potentially need to negotiate the rights for each and every one of those characters. To further complicate things, ADV, for example, has published some Gatchaman anime so Capcom probably needs to negotiate with them too due to royalties and whatnot.

Alright Adrock thank you.

Djunknown · « **Reply #21 on:** October 13, 2008, 11:09:15 PM »

Destructoid throws out a theory with some credible, albeit circumstantial evidence.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #22 on:** October 18, 2008, 12:49:14 AM »

Hmm that is a interesting article DjunKnown

What does everybody think about it?

Another Kick ass trailer

After I looked at this trailer I thought what would be a good crossover combination. I think Soul calibur and Samauri Shodown would be good.

What is your crossover dream?

Toruresu · « **Reply #23 on:** October 18, 2008, 01:22:56 AM »

My crossover dream in a fighting game would be Marvel vs DC, made by Capcom.

If they pulled it off, it'd be the biggest rebranding since Super Mario Bros 2 (Super Mario USA?).

You'd think that would be a no-brainer. They did it with the comics back in they day, so why not in video game form? Oh well...
