Tatsunoko vs. Capcom - New Import, Ships Today

«©NCSX» If the Wii version of Tatsunoko vs Capcom wasn't shipping this year, NCS would have imported a coin-op kit. The Wii conversion allows us to get the game for under US$100 instead of the considerable expense required for the arcade version. Some quick notes from this morning's testing - a full synopsis will be posted soon:

» The game does not force a firmware update so if you're on firmware 3.2U on a USA Wii, you can use the Freeloader to boot the disc.
» The Classic Controller as well as the Gamecube controller can be used.
» Ryu and another kind of Ken have a special moment in the cinematic intro
» Doronjo or Tonzura serve as the emcees in the mode select menu.
» The mode select menu is entirely in Japanese but from the top to bottom, they are: Arcade, Versus, Survival, Time Attack, Training, Data, Option, Shop, Gallery, and Original Game (Mini-games).
» TvsC features 2-vs-2 2D fighting with a tag feature. Swapping characters during a battle is instantaneous. Note that a 3-button attack scheme is used for weak attack, medium attack, and strong attack.
» The announcer sounds like the same guy from previous Capcom games
» Viewtiful Joe must be unlocked before he's playable.
