Call us crazy, but we’re more excited about Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes than Street Fighter IV. Even though we’re still eager to get our hands on Street Fighter IV, it’s been far too long since we created a tag team with two characters in a bona fide Street Fighter ‘versus’ title. On top of that, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom looks gorgeous with lots of bright eye ca☂ndy, fluid animations, and over-the-top super moves.

Two words: licensing issues. That’s why Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes is currently only available in Japanese arcades.🌌 A Japanese Wii version is schedule🌼d to release on December 11, 2008. However, according to Capcom, there are no concrete plans to bring Tatsunoko vs. Capcom to the US or UK.

Luckily, in a post on GoNintendo.com, Capcom’s Sr. Community Manager💜, Seth Killian expressed interest in bringing the game to the West. “I will make sure Capcom knows this game would have a warm reception in the West should we be able to defeat th꧑at evil-est of Robot Masters: Legal Licensing Issue Man,” said Killian. So if you’re a member of the majority who hasn’t had a chance to play the arcade version and don’t plan on purchasing the Japanese Wii version, it seems that there’s still a sliver of hope.
