Tatsunoko vs Capcom Producer: Exclusive to Wii

Tatsunoko vs Capcom Producer Ryota Niitsuma recently spoke about the future of the game. Primarily, as many fans may be hoping, whether it would go multi-platform.

[IanCube]

This is great news for Wii fans, now actually support the game and buy it.

[qface64]

this game will always remain wii exclusive it won't come to the PS3/360 but if they make a sequel though that might go multi

it has already been said that it would make more sense for the sequel to be multi plat

[Smacktard]

Except the fact that he POINTS OUT that it's Wii exclusive probably means now moreso than ever that it's going to eventually be ported %D

[baum]

If you didn't buy it in the first place why would you know? Anyway, this game would probably sell more on PS3. But again, it's Capcom's loss, not PS3 owners since PS3 owners have SFIV, SSFIV, Tekken 6, MK vs DC, Virtua Fighter 5, Soul Calibur 4, King of Fighters XII, BlazBlue, Bloody Roar, SSFII:HDR, etcetera.

Do you guys even trust Capcom's word? This reminds me of the time where RE4 producer said that he would chop his head off if the game was ported to another platform just to give gamecube owners an assurance that it would remain exclusive. PC, PS2, and hell even a rehash for Wii later, do you still? Remember Lost Planet, Dead Rising, Devil May Cry,... I mean seriously, Capcom probably meant "for now", and you guys know it.

[oli]

i dont wanna buy this, but just b cuz it has Viewtiful Joe makes me wanna buy itt!!

[menoyou]

This is gay as hell, this game has no place on the Wii. How can you even have a serious fighting game with that controller? And no serious online functionality?

Online battles and superior controllers are enough to send this to PS3/360. Whoever made this decision is truly a jack ass.

[ChickeyCantor]

@meno
Ive played the japanese version and i can say it plays like a charm.
GCN controllers are supported.

The fact people who playes it already say they loved it, makes you more of a jackass to presume it would have been " superior" on the other console.

[Redempteur]

i played the japanese version ..

it's weird at first ( i choose ryu )but you can have fun with the nunchuk and wiimote combo ..

it's definitly easier to play with gamecube controllers or the classic controller ..and you can enjoy fast paced battles because the game is far from being ugly and is steady with no framedrops

[iforgotmylogin]

i am buying it and so is my cousin. i dont know if that will be allot

and i hope by enough sales they dont mean street fighter IV numbers
sadly i dont see it selling more than 200k :[
but those are good numbers

[Kamikaze135]

I wonder if he cringed while saying that, lol.

[indiemike]

Do you think there could be a lot of backlash? I bet there's a lot of people wanting it on 360 and PS3.

[IanCube]

Haha why's that? You think he wishes it could go elsewhere?

[ScottBarkman]

I'm not a fan of usual fighting games (aside from smash bros) but I have an sinking feeling not making this game multi-platform will ultimately doom the game. Not saying that Wii gamers don't want a fighting game - lately it just seems that third party developers don't know how to milk everything out of the Wii to make it a solid title.

We will have to wait and see.

[IanCube]

Well the guy does say it was built entirely around and for the Wii...so here's hoping he knows what he's doing.

[Baka-akaB]

i'm not saying it will be eventually ported (though you gotta admit , capcom's word aint worth anything after they ported every exclusives) , but i'm a bit suspicious of the reason .

Sure it isnt a game that would exploit as is the 360/ps3/pc , and some might boycott it if ported as is and only upscaled instead of remade (though i wouldnt be among those fools) ....
However it wasnt actually originally developped for the wii , but for arcade .

Sure it's a wii based arcade machine , wich means nothing . After all wasnt tekken 6 developped on a ps3 modified for arcade ?

Anyway exclusive or not , the game deserves a big success

[ChickeyCantor]

I wonder if people actually realise this was market for the japanese market only. The characters are highly popular in Japan. KIDS love these characters, adults love these characters ( from their child hood). The Wii is enough for japan.

People started to demand the game in the US and EU, only reason its coming.

[tunaks1]

dam right!
now all you who claim your wiis are "collecting dust" go and buy it

[Baka-akaB]

Or if it runs well go for it on wii emu , with hd as a potentially nice bonus .

Dont get me wrong , i say only do it with the original purchased .

What drives me anyway is the fact that i only own ps3 ps2 and ps1 arcade sticks (hori real pro 3 ... namco arcade stick , hori real ex ...)

[Whitefox789]

Well if your PS3 arcade stick has a usb cable for it you could plug it into your computer and use X-padder to make your computer use it as a controller.

[Baka-akaB]

I know , that's precisely why i'll try it on the emu . And LOL at the disagree ... whoever it is , act offended , but sorry if can enjoy my wii games on pc with better effects then so be it ,my conscience is clear as long as i got both the console and the original game . Redirect your anger toward those guys with modded wii who dont pay for their games .

That's how i rolled with ps1 games at some point in time . Awesome games thus because even more potentially awesome in the process .

[tunaks1]

i dont see anything wrong with emulating it if you bought the game. I saw a video of TsVSCapc in hd running on Dolphin (on youtube) it looked really nice, but im gonna just play it on my Wii :)

[ChickeyCantor]

The game will only have 3 primary buttons to attack.
=) just so you guys know

[Baka-akaB]

Not a problem of buttons , just used to play fighting games on stick now .
After the game itself got it's own stick for a reason as well

[TheBand1t]

What is Tatsunoko?

[Baka-akaB]

It is a japanese animation company , rich of many old and iconic characters for both the east and the west .

Remember speed racer , Battle of the planets , tekkaman ?

[TheBand1t]

Ahhh. Thanks for the clarification.

[Fatal Blow]

Tatsunoko vs capcom is the best fighting game out trust me i have the jap version well for me this was the best fighting game of 2009 but where getting online and few players extra man this will be the best fighting game of 2010 and only the wii has it

[kewlkat007]

Hooray for the Wii...

[bigjclassic]

I imported TvC on Dec 08, and play it constantly in tournaments that I have. Need a sequel, glad that the series is a Wii exclusive because everything cannot go to the HD consoles.

[Baka-akaB]

Well to be fair the game had so much additions and changes compared to the original , that in other situations and with other franchises , it could easily pass as a sequel .

[Fatal Blow]

@Baka-akaB

yeah for me its a sequel because u get online and few other players like how super street fighter is getting few players pre-order at shopto.net guys if u live in the uk its cheap there for both games

[SpoonyRedMage]

Well the PS3/360 guys can't have everything, no matter how much they protest.

If the Wii got something sweet in return(SFIV or Resi 5) I wouldn't really ming...well as long as they put the same amount of effort into the game as they would porting TvC to the PS3/360.

But if the PS3/360 owners get SFIV and the Wii gets TvC what right has anyone got to complain?(and that includes Wii owners clamoring for a SFIV port)

[Baka-akaB]

i dont mind either way . I see hardly any reason not to give the wii access to sf4/SSF4 . I was actually even expecting it on ps2 or psp .

Especially the moment they revealed in their first big SF4 article than it was developped on pc , and to be ported to yet unknown consoles . It sounded then as if they were considering each version .

I wonder if they regret no doing a wii version , or if tatsu's possible success could persuade them .

@Fatal Blow
Us version all the way for me , since they are the closest .

[iforgotmylogin]

sfiv wii would be gimped and re5 would look like re4.5

i like it the way it is. overkill is porting it to 360/ps3 with ssfiv comin out. but as most fighting game fans know cross games are usually more fun than series only.

[Gobot]

i can't wait to see the sells on this game. who's idea was it to put on the wii, lol

[tunaks1]

i though sales dont matter,
oh wait thats only when a good wii game does well

ok i get it

[V0LT]

It might be exclusive to the Wii but I can't help wonder how bad it will sell. What are they thinking........

[tunaks1]

don't worry im sure all the people claiming that their wiis are collecting dust will buy it.
oh wait a minute, they must not have wiis!

ah sarcasm

[chase167]

just like mad world,no more heroes and
any other game that doesn't have Mario name on it

[Seekerofthewind]

And Suda51 was convinced enough by the sales of No More Heroes to make a sequel. Besides, it seemed that Sega sold what they were expecting to sell with Madworld, and I heard a couple Resident Evil games sold at least a million.

Also, a lot of people seem stoked about this game, and have full intention of buying it. So, I honestly don't think it's gonna bomb.

[iforgotmylogin]

No more heroes was considered a success.

hence why it has a cult following and a sequel and a hdremake

ur such a trollface go get attention on facebook or something

[ChickeyCantor]

People acknowledge this game is a good game, and say its a shame its not on the Ps3 and it will surely fail sales wise.

How about you STFU buy the game and enjoy it ?
Hypocrites.

[tunaks1]

and its the best fighting game i've played this gen.
Im not over exaggerating this tops SFIV, SSFIV, Tekken 6, Virtua Fighter 5, Soul Calibur 4, King of Fighters XII, BlazBlue, Bloody Roar,

[Baka-akaB]

well ssf4 isnt out yet anyway .

And i still prefer a few other titles like blazblue , but what's important is , it's one more excellent fighting game on the list .

[baum]

Even if true, then whatever helps you sleep at night.

[Whitefox789]

I agree for SF4 since the people that usually play it as the three clones, Tekken 6 I haven't played it but I know a lot of people who told me it sucks, Virtua Fighter 5 well that series has been basically the same since Virtua Fighter 3, haven't played Soul Caliber 4, King of Fighter XII is riddled with crippled characters like Terry since they didn't get all of his moveset in the game (I'm a huge fan of the '98 KOF game though), Blazblue well I love that game because all the characters are unique and its never a one character battle (I recently lost to a Carl who didn't use a ridiculous loop), and I never played Bloody Roar.

[Midgard228]

because wii has horrid controls for fighting games like this, or atleast not as good as other controllers, the fact that the d -pad on GC controller is so tiny is wat hurts it. and lack of arcade sticks for wii hurt it more

[Whitefox789]

bold statement my friend hey what happen to all your bubbles?

[jalen247]

All they need to make is Street Fighter versus Mortal Kombat

See videos. :)

[lizard81288]

it has 5 ways to play right, so stop saying the controls will suck.

as other people said, its capcom. after they use the word exclusive on the box art it should be followed with "...at the time this was printed"

although, this game isn't in HD, so they'd have to port it over, since they have alreardy said it would cost too much $$$ to make it for the HD gens.

also, they have been flip-flopping with this already.

1st, it was a wii exclusive
2nd, then it came up that if there was TvC2, it might go multi-plat
3rd, it was denied if there was a TvC2, it wouldn't go to the ps360; it would just stay a nintendo exclusive
4th, then they said, if fan demand was high enough, they would bring it over to the ps360
5th, a few days ago, they said it will stay on the wii only.

on the plus side, if TvC:UAS does sell, which it should. i might not sell zillions, but it should sell, since this game has effort put into it, even a tv add, anyway they said that there could be DLC. they even said characters. they also said if this game sells well, they might do another VS game. Capcom vs an American CO.

[pcz]

I really hope it does well and then capcom release Street Fighter 4 on wii.
