Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ippatsuman vs. Mega Man

I'm not even 100% what an Ippatsuman is, but it's a better fighter than Mega Man.

" looks like shit, framerate sucks "

That's because the video quality is poor. Videos hardly indicate what the framerate is like, unless they're high-quality.

Ridiculous. This reminds me of all the fighting game clones that came out in the early 90's in the U.S. after Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat were the only games anyone wanted to play. There is too much going on on the screen to take any of that seriously. I also can't stand fighting games that have the whole tag-team thing going on. It bores me to no end. I am glad that there are niche characters in this for the peeps who enjoy 70's-80's anime characters. I have no idea what any of that is, so I am staying away from it.

Simply put, it's a straight conversion of the arcade machine, which runs on Wii based hardware.

It's the same experience as all of those NAOMI games (Virtua Tennis and so on) which either stayed only on Dreamcast or took an age to reach other platforms. "

I understand, it's just that it seems like Capcom is forsaking a TON of the fighting game market by making this a Wii only title. I can't think of anyone who uses the Wii to scratch their fighter itch, and the only thing I can think of is that Capcom believes that it will appeal to the Smash Bros. crowd, or they're looking to take a very minimal risk on a niche title.

I think Tatsunko vs Capcom would be perfect for the XBLA/PSN outlets. Put it up for download, along with some accompanying (free) anime in the video stores, and you've got a least at little hype for an obscure fighter. The way they've positioned it now, TvC should sell about 3 copies.

Because it's for Japan, the only market Nintendo cares about, and it's on the Wii hardware so it's a cheap port. As for the anime connection, nearly all of the characters are not licensed in the West for any video releases, largely because they are frankly too old and weird for anybody to care enough to pay real money to watch 52 episodes.

I'm actually stunned this game is coming out here at all, since it seems like a licensing mess. The Wii is really the only viable console to release this game on given the subject matter and costs/work involved. If it sells really well, maybe it will see a port or sequel on other platforms ala No More Heroes, but I don't see this game being anything more than a cash grab for a few thousand sales. It's already made enough in Japan that Western sales are just gravy - hence the lazy port.

God...why do they have to put the "Mega Man Legends" version of Megaman in here? That was one of the worst Megaman games ever...MegaMan X would be much more suited to a fighting game like this...what the hell...I just want a Megaman who's on the same scale as everyone else in the fighting game...I want a Mega MAN...not some little kid who sounds like a Japanese girl.

@needforswede:

Mega Man X Zero is in the game also. Legends was chosen in favour of the classic Bit Mega Man. because of his arsenal of weapons and his physicality which allows more moves.
