Yep. And that's the thing.
Because the game was one that was definitely built on a "budget", it technically doesn't "need" to sell hundreds upon thousands, in order to do "well", for Capcom's sake. GAF, being GAF, is just over-reacting a bit. :lol
Therefore, for the most part, the numbers that we are seeing thus far, are decent and realistic, considering the circumstances this game was built around.
20,000+ units first week would DEFINITELY be "Bomba!" material for an HD, high-production value game like SF4. But that's not the case here for TvC, which was built on a budget, on relatively inexpensive hardware, and is looking to be limited to (legit) sale in one territory of the world, Japan.
In that light, TvC may end up being in a similar boat as Sengoku BASARA, when it first debuted. BASARA definitely didn't light up the charts for its first game either. However, Capcom obviously saw potential for the game, gave it a MUCH BETTER sequel, and now, it's a series that actually does quite well for Capcom (Arc's Sengoku BASARA X spin-off, not withstanding). Not bad, considering BASARA, too, is a series that's ALSO build on a budget, and also looking to be JP-exclusive for the rest of its lifetime.
So, again, I think people are just over-reacting a bit. All things considered, I think you'll eventually see that Capcom will say that they'll at least be "satisfied" with the sales they got with this game. Then maybe might even go on to give it an expansion/sequel, especially if this game starts to get some nice legs within the next few months.
Alright, I'm sure the answer has already been posted somewhere in this thread, but I'm gonna ask it again damnit. I've got a NA Wii, and I really, really want this game. I also discovered that there's a new Naruto GNT game out, and that really helped tip it over the edge. The problem is, I don't know anything about making this thing region-free. Is it something that can easily be done? What ways can I get around it? Since I'm going to play future Nintendo games that usually require an update, is there some way to get around that? Some help/advice would be super appreciated. Thanks!
Edit - A guide to importing would be great in the OP, also.

^ this game is NOT region free. only way to for you to run this game is to:
1.) buy a Japanese Wii, then import the game and play it on said Wii
2.) do something illegal.
--------------------------------------------
Anyway, I have it as well. It owns. those beating the final boss is a real pain with some characters.
just a few extras left to unlock.

You need a copy of Zelda Twilight Princess (you only need to use it once) and a SD card compatible with the Wii. Once you have those, go to www.wiibrew.org and click on Twilight Hack. Using the twilight hack, install the homebrew channel. Once you have the homebrew channel, use the homebrew browser to download gecko OS. Gecko OS allows you to play games region free.
You can still go online, as long as you don't allow the Nintendo Channel to have access to your Wii information.

Hmm... So it can't be run on a non-Japanese Wii? Ouch.

The future firmware would in turn be hacked in a matter of days. A minor inconvenience is far cheaper than paying for a second Wii.

I really wish liscensing issues didn't impede the localization process. Oh well... I'll buy it when it comes to North America or use a region free device if it never happens.

I finally managed to beat the last boss with Gold Lightan and with just a sliver of life left. I managed to Barouque him to death just as the firelaser super was headed towards me. Man it was such a pain in the ass. I think whether or not you can win against the boss' third form with Gold Lightan is a bit dependant on luck because you can't avoid his grab super with a megacrush. On one bout that was the only damn super he was using! Also, the fact that he can't be grabbed makes it so if you're ever close to him and hold forward or back and press Strong you'll do a grab animation even though he can't be picked up (wtf!)!
Beating the boss with the Lost Planet character is a hell of a lot more easier thanks to his chainsaw attack: Chainsaw >> Baroque cancel just before you get hit >> repeat.
Multi-hit attacks are the bane of the giant characters' existence.

Got some play time with this yesterday. It wasn't as awesome as I was expecting but it was still cool. Call it a minor nitpick, but the lack of animated faces really detracts from the fanservice and overall presentation. I also didn't realize how rudimentary some of the models were from watching youtube videos.
The controls seem really watered down when I compare it to MvC2, but I haven't put enough time in or learned enough about the systems to make that my final verdict. That's just my initial impression.
I played the Technoman, Casshern and GForce mini games. They were a nice diversion - certainly no Tekken Bowl - but you can't really complain about bonus stuff.
I still haven't played as everyone yet, but Karas is awesome.

Lol, yeah. I was really taken aback by how, for lack of a better word, "cheap" some stuff looked. The bg's looked like MvC2 quality cg even in the youtube vids, so there was no shock there, but the pre-fight cinematic of stuff like the floating fortress just adds to the lulz. It's certainly a mixed bag as far as graphics go.Tenbatsu said:

That is pretty badass, but
not many people played Okami through enough to know what Yami looks like. Amaterasu as a playable would have been a more popular (and better) decision IMO.
Oh, and
how awesome would it have been to get your supers taken away from you at the beginning of the Yami fight, then recover each one after each boss phase?

I also recommend watching the TvC "basics" tutorial on youtube. it discusses all those small things that can make a big difference.amodf said:

After playing it on an HDTV I thought so too. It looks great in SD though.g35twinturbo said:

Oh screw it, I really want this game!
I'm going to give the Homebrew channel a shot this evening, and if that works okay I'll order a copy from Play-asia.... wait, it's £50 from play-asia?! O_O

I haven't received mine yet. Oh well, I guess that's what you get for choosing the second cheapest delivery option. The game was shipped on December 9th though, so it shouldn't be long.
I just hope I'll get it by Wednesday though, since it's a Christmas present.
