Tatsunoko vs. Capcom - Cross Generation of Heroes Review

TheKoalition: With the recent release of the long delayed Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix and the highly anticipated Street Fighter IV, next-gen fight fans have been in paradise, throwing Hadoken's at one-another both on-and-offline in epic, glorious 2D battles while Wii owners are left throwing their remotes against walls, as the only battle they compete in these days is fighting the god-awful controls in mediocre games like Wii Music. The Nintendo Wii and fighters simply do not belong together, titles like Mortal Kombat Armageddon and Bleach tried to incorporate motion controls and gestures to replace well timed button combinations and the results were hideous. Almost 2 and a half years into the systems life and the only A-List fighting games available are 15-year-old roms that reside on the Virtual Console. Thank god Capcom is here attempting to save the day!

Horrible review.... Maybe you should go look at real reviews first then come back. Nothing much about the game was said beyond he didnt like the character options.

He spent more time trying to trash the Wii than actually talking about the game. He gave few reasons for saying the game was bad beyond the char select.
Sorry but I think you only like it because he takes shots at the Wii not because you like the "review" which wasnt even there.

N4g_null5548d ago

It's the best VS game capcom has made and if you are a true fighting fan you need to have this along with the other games he trashes.

What is funny is the motion controls actually do work in MK:A you can throw fight balls with street fighter motions which is funny and you can do them even faster than you could with a controller. Now Guilty Gear is not even mention so I guess that shows he is not really a fighter fan.

Man It's like people are getting fired from fast food and start becoming reviewers.

My friend is a game tester for EA montreal or Ubi and they got this for game room ( how odd i can't remember the company lol) he says if you like the vs games this is great. I'm waiting on Capcom to show us some love and bring this here.

remember my words... let's give capcom a chance.

The Capcom Crossover Fighting Game People Hardly Ever Talk About

Ever wanted to see Mega Man’s sister, Roll, beat the crap out of Yatterman-1 from the series Yatterman! Gan Takada? TvC has you covered. Did you know that the game only released on the Wii? Fortunately, it supports fight sticks and GameCube controllers in addition to the Wii Remote and Nunchuk. Unfortunately, Capcom’s licensing deal with Tatsunoko lapsed sometime in 2012, so we never got a sequel.

Because not many western audiences are familiar with the Tatsunoku brand.

I’m grateful for this game existing because it led to some of its devs to also work on the later MvC3

Majin-vegeta1952d ago

Also didnt help that it was only on the wii.Instead of the other popular platforms

DarXyde1951d ago

MvC3 was broken too. Dark Phoenix and the infinite combos really made that game a drag to play online.

I love Marvel and grew up loving the comics, but I got more out of TvC. I also loved Tatsunoko growing up.

Both games are hilariously broken fighters, but MvC3 was perhaps more frustrating. Sure, TvC has serious problems that could not be patched.... but the fact that Capcom left MvC3 in that condition when they COULD have patched it and preferred to release UMvC3 is perhaps worse. They gave some flimsy reasoning about the earthquake in Japan.

gangsta_red1952d ago

We need another Capcom SNK crossover. In fact throw in Namco for the ultimate in fighting game goodness

DarXyde1951d ago

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom was a blast, but it had some serious balancing issues. I guess it wasn't really practical to allow for DLC and patches on Wii, but it was pretty bad in terms of balance. I had modded my Wii to play the original Japanese version which was, in my opinion, better than the western release. Western release added Zero, which seriously broke the game.

Vandamme211951d ago

I wanted to play this game but it was a wii exclusive

Segata1951d ago

Not only the one people forgot but it's actually the best Capcom Vs game there is and the best fighting game Capcom made in the 7th gen and they have yet to top it in the years since.

Combo Breaker: Coping With Simpler Control Schemes

Corey Moore writes, "Game developers have also created ways to ease reluctant swimmers into the deep end of the gaming pool. Capcom, for example, is at the forefront of such a movement and did so by simplifying the controls for some of their popular franchises. But this casual approach to what otherwise should be 'hardcore' titles has caused quite a bit of upset among seasoned gamers. To this I simply say: Deal with it."

"To this I simply say: Deal with it."

Cool , but "to this i simply say" your oversimplified crap doesnt sell in the case of DmC , hence failing the entire purpose of said exercice of simplification .

MVC3 and tatsunoko actual retains most if not , all the depth and complexity of the VS genre , it was just a simplified button schemes , wich was complained about , but not nearly as much as implied . All the fans know VS capcom games proposes simple controls schemes and basic special moves input

"Deal with it" or alternatively = "Bend over and take it"

Just because your system has been upgraded doesn't mean you shouldn't play your older Wii games on it. Prima Games suggests ten you should keep.

I originally sold my Wii about 1-2 years into its life cycle because I was unhappy with it... however I got my Wii U on Sunday and I'm very happy with it so far. One thing that has been awesome is playing some of the Wii games I've missed like SSB Brawl and Wii Sports Resort. I plan on checking out some of the JRPGs and Nintendo 1st party exclusives I missed too. I wish they would upscale the Wii games though. Switching from Wii U mode to Wii mode gets all fuzzy. I'd rater have sharp jaggies then SD fuzzies.

SilentNegotiator4204d ago

Why not just title it, "Wii games still worth playing"?

Because people that HAVE the game don't need to be told if it's worth keeping; they can figure that one out on their own.

Summons754204d ago

Where is The Last Story???

My list is

Last Story
Zelda SS
Kirby Collection
Animal Crossing
Xenoblade Chronicles (even though I really didn't like the combat)
Trauma Center

Mario Kart and Smash Bros are guaranteed to be right around the corner for the WiiU so keeping those seems a bit silly, especially since Nintendo confirmed that Smash Bros is in development for it.
