Review: Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars
WHAT? OK, Capcom is finally getting weird on us. Taking characters from their own roster and mixing them with the who’s who of Tatsunoko Productions characters (a Japanese animation studio famous for Tekkaman and the original Speed Racer just to name a few), Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars is another entry in ever popular Vs. fighting game series by Capcom.
WHY? Simply put, Capcom makes the most beautiful and well crafted fighting games out there. Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars is not an exception. The game manages to keep everything that people love about Capcom fighting games intact while still managed to be innovative and fun. The simplified 3 button configuration for this Wii only release will allow newcomers to adjust to the series. Die hard fans may be taken back by this, but fear not: there are other control schemes you can use with the GameCube or Wii Classic Controller if you want a bit of depth back in the game.
WHO? The not so recognizable cast of characters may turn off some players, but let’s face it. This game was created for the hardcore nerd who understands just how important Science Ninja Team Gatchaman is in the world of popular culture. If you’re not into this kind of stuff, I still highly suggest you give this title a whirl. Not only is it a blast to play, but you may even become a fan of these wonderful characters.
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars is a Wii only release by Capcom. Let’s see more of those please, and thank you!

In particular, two things about Super Mario World stood out to me

Shiroi tsubasa no Gatchaman! I think I know all the words. I’m so pumped to play as Joe the Condor. Clearly they know their US audience.

I think you’ll dig the game. As a Capcom fanboy, I was so happy to see their roster. The Tatsunoko roster makes it even better.
