Someone inside Capcom must believe you can’t release a Wii game without motion controlled mini-games because the home version of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes has tons of them. When you need a break from fighting you can practice throwing fireballs with Ryu, shoot asteroids with Saki and snap pictures of Viewtiful Joe. [...]

A camera phone filmed video of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes from Capcom’s event in Shinagawa is out and it shows two characters I didn’t even see when I played the game at Tokyo Game Show. Jun the Swan and Roll are in this clip fighting Ryu and Hurricane Polymer. Roll only makes [...]

The list of characters in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom keeps getting better. At a Capcom event in Shinagawa three more fighters were revealed including Viewtiful Joe! Judging by this screenshot Joe appears to have his VFX powers too. Slow motion or hyper speed fighting would be an interesting twist, but would it give Joe too much [...]

The classic controller felt fine when I played Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes at Tokyo Game Show, but if you want a more arcade like experience Exar has you covered. Their Tatsunoko vs. Capcom arcade stick is scheduled to come out on the same day as the Wii port for 5,980 yen ($65). [...]

  At Tokyo Game Show I spent a good amount of time with the Wii version of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes. I started out playing with Ryu since I imagined he handle similarly to the Street Fighter games. For the most part Ryu has the same moves. Good old reliable Ryu, but [...]

The Gatchaman / Battle of the Planets license is a key property for the Tatsunoko side in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. Two characters from Gatchaman are confirmed for the game Ken the Eagle and Jun the Swan. She’s so new she wasn’t even playable in the Tatsunoko vs. Capcom build Capcom brought to Tokyo Game Show. [...]

The most disheartening comment I heard at Tokyo Game Show came from my meeting with Capcom. I asked multiple representatives if they were planning to publish Tatsunko vs. Capcom: Cross Generations of Heroes in North America or Europe and I got the same answer “probably not.” The key reason seems to be the licensing. Tatsunko’s [...]

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 [...]

The home version of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes includes more than a few extra characters. Capcom is creating original mini-games with easy to operation motion control just in case you’re planning a Tatsunoko vs. Capcom party. Don’t cringe yet, these mini-games look pretty entertaining. One mini-game lets four players point and shoot [...]

Buck up Wii owners. Street Fighter IV may not be in the cards now, but you’re the only group getting a home version of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes. Capcom plans to release the Wii port in Japan on December 11 and it comes with extra heroes.   A scan from Famitsu shows [...]

A shaky-cam video already confirmed Rock Volnutt, aka the Mega Man from Mega Man Legends, as one of the Capcom characters in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. This scan sent in by Doug (thanks!!) shows a helmet-less Mega Man can shoot a stream of bullets in one of the screenshots. To Rock’s right there is a trio [...]

This past weekend Tatsunoko vs. Capcom made its debut in the USA at the EVO 2008 Championship series. Capcom chose to make EVO a test location, a smart choice considering the caliber of 2D fighting prowess at the tournament. The clip below doesn’t even have all the announced characters. Gold Lightan is notably absent. The [...]

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, announced a while back, is better known now as the spiritual successor to Marvel vs. Capcom. For a while, though, we were treated to screens of some of the game's characters and marveling at the game's graphical style; yetmany were wondering just how good does the game look in motion. Though some [...]

Given the complexity of the licensing issues, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes isn’t guaranteed to come out anywhere except Japan. Sure, some arcades are bound to import the Taito Type X2 board, but the fate of the inevitable console release is up in the air. The good news is Capcom isn’t writing a [...]
