IGN: Tatsunoko vs. Capcom Review

Right now you're reading a review for a game that shouldn't have ever existed outside of Japan. Mainstream gamers -- and most hardcore gamers, at that -- don't know the Tatsunoko brand. With very little promise of a commercial success, Capcom would be crazy to bring the latest in the Capcom Vs. series to U.S. shores, right?
Not necessarily, no. You're reading about a "dark horse" game, no doubt. But you're also reading a review for one of the best games on the Wii.

Great game. Great score. I'm coppin this!

Bnet3435224d ago

Games like this made me wish I had a Wii but I want this game on PS3 for controller purposes.

Gr815224d ago

Controller is basically the SNES controller which was always the better controller for Street Fighteresque games.

Any way I'm copping this eventually.

Bnet3435224d ago

Like I said ... I don't have a Wii. I much prefer play this with a PS3 controller even if I did have a Wii. Plus, I'd want online play as well.

EvilTwin5224d ago

Yeah...I mean, it's got an online mode. And the classic controller is very comfortable, as Arius said. And you can always get something like this instead, anyway:

If you do not have a Wii, Why are you in th Wii section? trolling?

If this game was on PS3 it would most likely bomb like Borderlands, Blazblue, Bioshock, Dragon Age origins, and so many others.
Sorry you have to have just a PS3 You could have bought a 360 and Wii for close to the same price as one PS3 and tripled your gaming library had you made better decisions.

If you are only going to talk about the PS3 then you really should be in the Wii section looking at games for it.
Also your assumption that the PS3 controller is better is false. I can say that though because I have used both. Be kinda hard for you to have used a Wii classic controller when you openly admit to not owning one.

Shouldnt you be in the PS3 section hyping games you know nothing about with the rest of the flock?

Anon19745223d ago

All the guy did was say this game looks interesting, he wants to play it but he prefers another controller. Why is that so threatening to you? I owned a Wii at one point and I didn't like the way the controller was used. Are only people who share your opinion allowed to speak there minds in open forums? I don't care what system you want to game on, we're all gamers. There's nothing wrong with a fellow gamer sharing his insights.

And as for your "PS3 games bombed" quote, give me a break.

I've got nothing against Wii fans, but as a Wii fan yourself, do you really want to go pointing fingers at how games are selling on other systems? Only about 10% of Wii games have ever broken the 1 million mark, the same as the PS3, and yet there's twice as many Wii's sold worldwide!

Seriously, buddy. If you want to bash other people's systems, you gotta come at it with better material than that. Do you really need to bash Sony with every breath? Why not join in a conversation about games for once rather then trying to belittle other people who's only crime as gamers is that they like a different system than you?

Boy, with all those 9s over there, I sure am glad that the Overall Score is not an average.

i know alot of people have been kinda hard on the new bionic commando, but i really enjoyed that game and still think its graphics and gameplay were awesome. i played it from start to finish and dug it! it scored quite high on ign too. anyways, this game makes me happy that i still have a wii. they always seem to come out with some kick @ss exclusives every so often!

GFahim5224d ago

we need to get this game and help it sell through so that we can stick up a middle finger to the wii haterz out there.

plus, i really hope a good online community develops. cant wait man

VanHalen5224d ago

yea i agree, everyone needs to buy this game. i might wait till it drops in price a bit or try and get a deal on it. theres just too many damn games coming out. im really waiting for alien vs predator, huge fan of the predator and alien movies and its looking awesome.

Mahr5224d ago

"i might wait till it drops in price a bit or try and get a deal on it."

If memory serves, there's a pretty good deal on Amazon where if you pre-order it, you get a gift certificate for $10 off a future game purchase and you don't have to pay sales tax.

The Wii is 15, so here’s 15 Wii games that deserve Switch ports or sequels

For the Wii’s 15th birthday, here’s a list of 15 Wii games that deserve ports or sequels.

Have you jumped ship from Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite?

Are you one of the understandably many who has sworn off MvCI because of how it's being handled? Or are you still interested in giving it a shot purely on its gameplay?

I absolutely can not get over how bad the art direction is.

DaFeelz2513d ago (Edited 2513d ago )

The art direction is indeed horrendous. I'm switching over to that new DBZ fighter. Which is the 1st time I've ever seen a DBZ game look EXACTLY like the cartoon. The reviews MvC are gonna have to be stellar for me to even consider it. Right now, MvC is a definite maybe but, probably not.

gangsta_red2512d ago

Agreed, I thought the art was bad in SFV, this is beyond that in every way. And the gameplay looks slow to boot.

Not to mention reading all the noob friendly combos Capcom is incorporating into this game. I just don't understand what these guys are doing.

3-4-52511d ago

Yea the Art Direction is enough for me to not want to play it.....as petty as that sounds, I just can't really get into it.

I like the brighter colors and style of the 2D sprites of older fighting games.

King of Fighters 13 was a beautiful modern 2D sprite fighting game that showed it can be down in the modern gaming era and still look good and be appealing.

* Capcom has lost their way in the fighting genre when it comes to art style and character design.

Whoever is in charge over there has poor taste.

Der_Kommandant2513d ago

I can't wait to never play this game ever.

Ethereal2513d ago

I was a bit disappointed with the demo. The art direction is one of the reasons I loved the series. It always looked so awesome to see animated sprites that looked right out of a comic book. Even MVC3 had the comic book appeal. Honestly, I am with everyone else, that DBZ fighter looks amazing...

DELTABOY042512d ago

character models for some of them are not great but the gameplay is solid af..the infiniti gem system is great and at least it has some type of story...but i understand the disappointment..no spiderman/xmen is terrible also

georeo2512d ago

How come they don't have xmen/Spider-Man?

Servbot412512d ago

Spiderman will definitely be DLC, but no X-Men is because Disney is desperately trying to make the X-Men brand less well known so they can (eventually) snag back the movie licenses from Fox. Obviously it's not working, because both Deadpool and Logan are up there with current MCU movies, Logan probably being better than most. If Fox can keep up this quality (which, knowing Fox is always a 50/50 chance) there's no way they'll be getting those rights back for cheap within the next two decades, if not longer. They'd be better off collaborating and making money now, than trying (and failing) to get the rights back before the superhero movie genre dries up.

Injusticewarrior2512d ago

Fox/Sony own the rights. Not marvel/Disney.

Enigma_20992512d ago

Spider-man's not in it?!?!?!

... F*ck this game.

TheOttomatic912512d ago

Jumped ship is going a bit too far but after that demo I am very cautious to see how the final product is. Will wait for feedback before I Purchase said product.

Would have been cool for Capcom to make a sequel for this game on Switch.

FallenAngel19842582d ago

It'd be hard for Capcom to reacquire the Tatsunoku license, and especially to localize a potential sequel
