Tatsunoko vs Capcom!

May 22, 2008 by Firedauz

I know *almost* everyone here had played at least one game from the Capcom vs “something”-series. In the past, Capcom had been doing these collaboration fight series with either another game company (Capcom vs SNK) or comic company (Marvel vs Capcom), but for this news, this is the first time Capcom had done it to fight with an anime/manga company

The next issue of Weekly Famitsu magazine (on sale on May 23) will reveal that a Tatsunoko vs. CAPCOM: Cross Generation of Heroes arcade fighting game is being developed for this winter in Japan. Like other games in CAPCOM’s “Vs.” line, the new game will feature characters from the developer’s own fighting game franchises such as Street Fighter II’s Chun Li (Fumiko Orikasa) and Ryu (Hiroki Takahashi). However, it will also include characters from Tatsunoko’s in-house anime creations, such as Ken (Katsuji Mori) from Science Ninja Team Gatchaman (adapted in English as Battle of the Planets, G-Force, and Eagle Riders) and the title character (played by Daisuke Ono) of the Shinzo Ningen Casshan anime.
