IGN revealed today that the leaked Tatsunoko vs. Capcom character roster update was almost 100% accurate in predicting the characters added to the North American version (and the upcoming Japanese re-release). Joe the Condor (yet another Gatchaman character) and Mega Man X’s pal Zero have joined the lineup. Only Yatterman #2 is unaccounted for. This isn’t Zero’s first appearance in a fighter; he appeared in his Mega Man Zero style in SNK vs. Capcom: SvC Chaos and Onimusha Blade Warriors. This is, however, his first appearance in a good fighting game.
Check out footage of both new characters in action after the break. Rather than being a simple palette swap of Mega Man Volnutt, Zero’s attacks use his trademark energy sword. And Joe has a grappling hook/gun combo.

Under PSP
Capcom’s latest downloadable title, Fate/Unlimited Codes, is set to drop on the PlayStation Store on September 3. Developed by Eighting (the team behind Tatsunoko Vs Capcom), Fate/Unlimited Codes is a fighter specifically designed for the PSP Go, based on a popular Japanese anime franchise.
Originally a PlayStation 2 title in Japan in 2008, Fate/Unlimited Codes has been available for the PSP in the Far East since June, but the pseudo-3D fighter hopes to make a splash when it lands on North American and European shores next week. The story of Fate/Unlimited Codes goes like this: Seven masters and servants battle for control of a small Japanese town’s “Holy Grail,” which can grant the winner anything they wish. What would we wish for? For it to be September 3, so we can get our hands on Capcom’s latest. Oh, and a pony!

Capcom released new media for Tatsunoko vs. Capcom today, including videos featuring Tatsunoko characters Karas and Ken the Eagle, and Capcom characters Alex and Viewtiful Joe. We were really impressed with the fighting game translation of Joe — it looks just like Viewtiful Joe from his own game. We’re very glad Capcom didn’t give up on putting Joe in a fighting game after, you know, the Viewtiful Joe fighting game.
Head past the break at mach speed to see another video of these four characters in action. And check our gallery to zoom into new screens and artwork.

The best part of Capcom’s Vs. fighters isn’t the character roster, though of course Vs. games tend to have awesome selections. No, it’s the ridiculous, super-fast aerial combat. Unfortunately, if you’re not directly engaged in said combat (or even if you are), it can be way too frantic and flashy to understand.
The Tatsunoko vs. Capcom clip above, and the other after the break, demonstrate this issue. Yatterman and Doronjo (from the Yatterman anime), and Saki and Morrigan (from Quiz Nanairo Dreams and Darkstalkers, respectively) go into battle, and then … a bunch of stuff happens, causing billions of unspecified units of damage, and then suddenly it’s over. We don’t really know what happened, but we know we want to be involved in it.

One major issue with marketing Tatsunoko vs. Capcom in North America is that nobody but old-school otaku knows who the hell half of the characters are. It took a few months of watching matches on YouTube to realize that all the Tatsunoko characters looked really fun in gameplay, but the name recognition wasn’t there for us like it is in Japan, where Tatsunoko Production anime is an institution.
Seemingly in an attempt to combat that handicap, at least among the hardcore blog-reading audience, Capcom Unity has started a series of posts introducing the characters. The first, “Dragon vs. Eagle,” provides a fairly detailed bio of Gatchaman’s Ken the Eagle, with background about the character and the Gatchaman show, and supplementary video clips. There’s also a bio of Ryu, but everyone knows Ryu: torn sleeves, headband, likes fighting.
So who are these ‘Tatsunoko’ characters anyway? originally appeared on Joystiq Nintendo on Wed, 17 Jun 2009 13:40:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
