Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom: Cross Generation Of Heroes EO

By Spencer . September 22, 2008 . 11:01am

Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom: Cross Generation is coming out on the Wii. Yeah! Great, but how is Capcom going to make a four button arcade game work with just the Wiimote? This solution could have been solved with an awkward mix of nunchuck buttons and Wii remote buttons, but Capcom opted for a simplified control scheme for Wii remote users instead. A preliminary report from Impress Watch explains you can do a chain combo with a single button and you will not need to input commands to do special moves. Details are still unclear how advanced moves like Baroque Combos will work under the Wii remote style.

This control scheme is obviously aimed at beginners, but there is an option for fighting enthuasists. If you want to play Tatsunoko vs. Capcom with traditional controls you can resort to a handy Classic Controller.

Or one of those fantastic Hori Fighting Sticks for Wii.

Capcom USA! Don't drop the ball on this one.

Well I guess it makes sense seeing as so many Wii games are dumbed down in this manner. So long as we get GC/CC compatability I am sure most players like me could care less that the option is there. This would be pretty good with my Hori GBA Player controller. Of course I hate the fact

Of course I hate the fact I might have to install a combination of different hacks on my Wii just to be able to play the damn thing. Just give us a PS3 release too Capcom.

"...install a combination of different hacks..."

Err, what?

GC pad support hasn't been confirmed yet, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't in as well.

I wouldn't give up hope on the western release just yet either...

I am referring to several pieces of homebrew that are out to allow you to do stuff like disable region coding on your console. I have seen them used. They work to a decent degree. Usually though there are a few bugs here and there. For one thing it does not allow Japanese games to uses the Japanese system fonts. Usually I wouldn't mind buying a second system just to have a Japanese one. I have done this in the past. The truth is though, my Wii just sits there collecting dust as it is. I can't see buying a Japanese console for only one game. Besides, most of the Wii titles from Japan that don't come out in the US are liscensed titles of rather dubious quality. My funds are tight enough as it is without dumping cash in a system that will just be a conversation piece 99% of the time.

@Jarrod

I havn't counted it out completely but I am being realistic. Games like this in the past with multiple franchises from the same company where the foreign rights for each franchise are divided among different rights holders don't have a very good track record of making it out of Japan. D.O.N. and TV World Fighters are pretty good examples of these I think. Granted neither was a very good game but still. Its probably also worth mentioning that a lot of these characters have near zero recognition in the US. Hell even I had to look a couple up and I am stoked for this game. I just don't see it happening. I hope like hell I am wrong though.

things have gone from bad to worse. they had better get this game on a real system too.

jarrodand

Well realistically, a western Wii release is probably more likely than any PS3 release.

I still think PS2 might happen though...

PS3/PS2 release or I give up. Seriously Capcom, quit being whores for the money :/

daizyujin

@Jarrod

Probably so with Sony's stance on 2D games. Still the main fact is if it is PS3 then anybody with internet access and a credit card can order and play the import just fine. At this point though I am just trying to find out exactly what to expect the game to fully look like. I still have not heard exactly what board Namco is using.

Ha ha, such humour you have.

I mean, I'm sure you realise they're a business out to make money, not simply to cater to your whims alone. Right?

"things have gone from bad to worse. they had better get this game on a real system too"

Care to explain what a "real" system is ? And while you´re at it, I would really like to know how this news makes things "worse" for you in any way...

"Seriously Capcom, quit being whores for the money :/"

And I don´t understand this comment either... How is Capcom a "whore" because of releasing a Wii exclusive game ? Should every game released from them appear on PS3, even at the cost of loosing money ?

Provided that the Gamecube lost exclusives from them at the time and didn´t got several games that could have been "easily" ported before because of its sales, why should PS3 be treated differently ? Specially when it´s much harder to develop for it...

This game is aimed at the Japanese market, where the Wii is dominating and PS3 is in an even worse situation than in the rest of the world. It was also developed on a Wii-compatible Arcade board, so it would take some extra work to increase the definition for PS3, which is probably not worth it for a few extra sales. From what we know, it was probably planned from the beginning to appear on Wii only.

And I don´t see it going to the PS2 either... If Capcom had the intention of porting these type of games to increase sales, Sengoku Basara X and Fate/Unlimited Codes would have been already announced for Wii, which is not the case so far. Even more, if this game is really using the Wii hardware from the ground up as some claim, a PS2 port would be limited by its hardware, which would make a port a bit more difficult. And finally, there´s also the issue of Capcom including several Wii features that would have to be removed or changed for a PS3/PS2 release.

Besides, it´s not like the PS3 is not getting anything... For the situation in which the console is in, Capcom is releasing a lot for it...
