Besides Arc System’sGuilty Gear XX Accent Core(which is already two years old) and a spate ofNaruto-licensed games, the 2D fighter Renaissance seems to have curiously skipped over the Wii. The exception to the rule, of course, is Capcom’sTatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars.
As the company moves to corner Wii owner’s need for fighters (and no one else’s), it’s trying it’s best to keep a steady drip of info coming out for the title. To that end, they released two new gameplay videos today featuring Capcom’s Morrigan (fromDarkstalkers) and Saki (fromQuiz Nanairo Dreams) facing off against Tatsunoko’s Doronjo and Yatterman-1 (fromYatterman). The videos are after the jump, and you may see some character models in the gallery.
Since I’m a filthy Westerner, I only recognize one of those characters. Whoops.
What Idorecognize, however, are beatiful2D sprites3D models and frantic gameplay that I will never have the eye-hand coordination to fully understand. I also recognize that (spoiler alert) the Capcom team gets the hell kicked out of it in both videos.
In any case,Jonathan’s reviewwas pretty positive, so if you haven’t importedTatsunoko vs. Capcomyet, you can look forward to its Winter 2009 U.S. release, preferably withthis arcade stick.
