Crave writes: "It was with great interest, then, that I followed the story of Capcom Vs Tatsunoko: Ultimate All Stars, a game that may turn out to be exactly what the Wii needs for a number of reasons. The Wii is a hard system to develop for because you have two totally different audiences, the casual and the hardcore. Capcom Vs Tatsunoko appeals equally to both, thanks to a remarkably flexible control scheme. Veterans and purists will want to opt for a traditional joystick, or maybe even a classic Gamecube controller. Newcomers, on the other had, can use the wand and nunchuck for an experience that is less "Street Fighter" and more "Super Smash Bros."
As common as it is today, it is hard to believe that there was a time where gaming franchises crossing over was just a pipe dream. Capcom broke down the wall, but they took the combination of some of the most unlikely of franchises and made it the norm.
Whether it was a colossal successful partnership with Marvel Comics or a collaboration with rivals Namco and SNK, the “Vs.” series brought unforgettable experiences to the fighting genre.

James is on 2 hours of sleep, Richard deals with eBay, Elissa is a God of War fangirl, and Mike has a brand new segment that will probably never return, a "Gamer Tip of the Week!".. Hear a simulation of what GameCrush will be like, feel the love for the PSP from owners (sarcasm?), and so much more, enjoy!

Beat-em-up fans are correct to look upon it as a formidable companion piece to Street Fighter IV, and if you only own a Nintendo Wii it is, amazingly, a more than adequate substitute for its big bro.
