Tatsunoko vs Capcom, new arcade fighter. (Viewtiful Joe in 'da house!)

All I got for the Vernal Equinox was this stupid tag
Didn't they say that Jun and Roll were going to be console-exclusive characters before, too? And that was wrong.

TvC isn't out in arcades yet.

Correct.

But the basic thing that Capcom has supposedly stated is that it will work as follows:

TvC Arcade will be out around the beginning of December. People will have a matter of days to get familiar with the game, prior to the console port launching a few days later (12/11).

Following that time frame, when the Wii port is available, the characters that are available in the Wii version will start being "time unlocked" in the arcade version.

So in the end, the two versions will have the same roster of characters to work with. The trade-off just seems to be that, if you're an arcade player, you'll just have to wait a few days to be able to play with everyone. On the other hand, Wii owners, who have to wait a while longer to even touch the game, will stand to get everything (whether you have to get some manually or not is not yet known), as soon as they buy the game.

A fair arrangement, I would think. It certainly beats having to do anything involving memory cards or some thing like that...

Heh, luckily our local gameshop has said that they will be selling TvC, although it would be more pricey than the usual games.

The roster feels like it lacks one more for each character. 11 on each side feels odd... maybe because it's an odd number. lol

Probably best that she isnt in there. We wouldnt play, we would just lay a brick on the controller and watch...wait...that sounds like a great idea...

So yeah, I've been to many forums.

WHY THE HELL ARE PEOPLE EXPECTING A PORT?

This is NOT a Capcom game in a sense that Capcom made this.

Ah. And I assume the port is a Wii to PS3/360 port. The link between the two sentences still baffles me. :p
I'm guessing Ookami-kun means that the "Oh, it's Capcom. It'll be ported to anything from mobile phones to dishwashers."-reasoning doesn't fit with TvsC, so people shouldn't really expect a port to PS360 using that "logic".

Just pointing out that if it does happen, it won't be a Wii => PS360 port, it'll be arcade => PS360. I remember when a few people (even reviewers) thought Tekken 5DR on PS3 was a PSP port =/

Well, in this case it would be: Wii = Arcade -> PS360. The arcade game runs on Wii hardware as far as we know.

^Yeah, that's what I am saying.

After all, unless Fate Unlimited Codes (which is also an 8ing work being overseen by Capcom) gets a port, I doubt this one will.

ON A RELATED NOTE - Capcom is sponsoring Casshern Sins episode 6! XD

The long wait makes Tekkaman go hyper.

Anyway, according to Dengeki and Famitsu, each week (starting last week, Nov. 6), up to six weeks, they'll be "introducing" four characters of the game. Last week we already saw Ryu, Alex, Jun, and Ken. If they follow suit, we'll have another one this Nov. 13, hopefully with a new video.

So....six weeks...4 characters revealed each time. Let's do a lil math...

6 x 4 = 24.

How many characters have we seen thus far, including the "Wii exclusives"? ....22.

If this report is not blowing smoke up our asses, it would imply that there is INDEED 2 more characters that we haven't seen yet, one for each side is the assumption, and they'll probably be saved for that last week (which would basically occur during that very week that the game is slated to hit the Wii on December 11th).

That be the case...there may still be hope for Go Mifune (Speed) yet...! :D

Oh god I think I know now who Shoma's father is.

Also the stage IS NOT Alex's but Polymar's. Washinkyo City = setting of Polymar.
 
So since this game is coming to Japanese Wii next month, how easy is it for U.S. systems to play? The last game that I imported was Earth Defense Force for PS2.

Also, is it likely to get translated/picked up for U.S. release? For any system? Thanks.
