Henshin a-go-go, baby! He’s back.
Capcom announced today Viewtiful Joe, the protagonist of the Viewtiful Joe series, will return to the gaming scene in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, a fighting game exclusively for Wii.
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom pits classic Capcom mascots against characters from Japanese animation studio Tatsunoko Production.
Also joining the fray are Saki from Capcom’s Quiz Nanairo Dreams and vintage anime hero Ippatsuman.
Anticipation may be self-defeating, however. At this year’s Tokyo Game Show, Capcom told Siliconera the game would “probably not” be released outside of Japan due to Tatsunoko licensing issues.
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is set for a Dec. 11 release in Japan.
The release date for the US is set for Never.
Whether this comes to the US or not…. YEEEEESSSSS. He's back. =D
To bad he is not back in his own fun game.
What the world needs is a Ghibli Vs. Capcom
I really wish they'd bring this to the US. the other characters that were just announced look pretty cool too.
Thank you waninkoko…
He won't stop reminding me of Captain Falcon and Protoman!!!
I'm definitely importing this game, along with Disaster.
You know, I just don't thing it was a smart move to pit Capcom characters against something as one-regional as Tatsunoko characters. It decreases the chances of ever bringing such a game over to other territories, and that's a financial loss for Capcom, in my opinion (if it's worth anything).
Regardless, it's nice to see that Viewtiful Joe is still around in some capacity. We really need a new, proper VJ game, though.
Yay that he is still alive!! Boo that its not another BRILLIANT side scroller!
Seth Killian, Capcom Sr. Manager is working hard to bring it stateside. And from what I heard from the die-hard Capcom, Evolution Championship Gaming series, etc community, Mr. Killian is top dog to count on.
CAVE IN JAPANESE LICENSING ISSUES. WE WANT A GAME.
From the moment I saw this I thought viewtiful joe should be in the lineup.
Though, still holding onto a glimmer of hope that we'll see a pizza cat in this game…
Why doesn't Capcom just make a Capcom Heroes vs. Capcom Villains or something? That way there would be no licensing issues.
Cap-Heroes vs. CapVillz. That would be a sweet game.
Ηi there! I simplу would like to offer you a big thumbs up for the excellent information
you've got here on thiѕ post. I'll be returning to your ѕite for more soon.
