Is Tatsunoko vs. Capcom a Wii game?
Aug. 18
The upcoming Tatsunoko vs. Capcom fighting game is drawing quite a stir from the fan community, if less so than the much bigger Street Fighter IV. Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is a fighting crossover in the style of Marvel vs. Capcom, this time pitting Capcom against the anime heroes created by the legendary Tatsunoko Pro animation studio. While it's set for an arcade release, it's still interesting to us because of some information that popped up on this Japanese page.
Along with basic information about the arcade unit's price (a ridiculous 300,000 yen), basic gameplay style, and concept, there's some mention of the hardware the game is running on. The site describes the game as running on a "Wii interchangeable circuit board" - basically, an arcade board that's extremely similar to the Wii's own internal hardware. Think of the Dreamcast and its famous arcade sister board, the Naomi.
What this seems to mean (if I'm right) is that Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is, in hardware terms, basically a Wii game, and likely to be ported to the Wii when time for console editions comes.

most excellent! I'm looking for a nice fighting game like this for wii ( other then ssmbb)
Hrrrrm.
I dunno. This makes me feel something weird in the cockles.
C, Z, A and B would be fine for the 4 button control scheme TvC has. But at the same time you'd have to use the analog stick. And that's just oddening. This could be offput with the classic controller. But that'd mean owning a classic controller in the first place. This is just me thinking too hard, though.
Who wants to go to japan...
i hope they port this to the wii or any other console and also bring to the US.
@JBoogieG:
Remember there are already Hori and SNK arcade sticks for the Wii. I'm sure any "serious" player of TvsC on Wii would use one of these over any of the default controllers.
I strongly suspect that as far as classic controllers go, TvsC on Wii would support the GC controllers and play quite decently with them. Classics, a little less so. Wii Remote and Nunchuk would start getting into failure territory.
@ Lynxara:
Oh, indubitably. I suppose I find it weird since the first thing I think about with fighting games on a system is will it make sense with the default controller. I'm just weird like that.
Also I think this is the first forum type deal that has me manually put in me wanting to respond to a specific person. :V
