Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All Stars English debut trailer
Capcom debuted the English trailer for Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All Stars at E3 2009.
Available exclusively for the Wii this Fall (also coming to Europe but the date is TBA), Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is the latest game in Capcom’s VS series and is the follow-up to titles like Marvel vs Capcom 2 and Capcom vs SNK 2. This is the first time the VS series has been released on a next-gen console.
This extraordinary fighter will blend these two rich universes by taking Capcom characters like Ryu from Street Fighter, Morrigan from Darkstalkers and the giant PTX-40A from Lost Planet and putting them against Tatsunoko fan-favorite characters from Gatchaman, Hurricane Polymar, Casshern and more.
Unlike the more well-known six-button layout that the Street Fighter franchise pioneered, the VS line features a simplified four button system: “Weak”, “Medium”, “Strong” and “Assist” for the tag-team option of. The “Assist” feature adds another compelling element found Capcom’s other “VS” series: allowing players to switch their character on the fly or call for help from their tag-team partner, allowing for spectacular super moves (“Hyper Variable Combination”). Successful execution of the Assist feature can turn the tide of battle on a dime. Historically the VS series excels in integrating the tag-team options by including customized moves like Variable Assist, Snapback, and the previously mentioned Hyper Variable combination that lets both characters on one team perform their Hyper attack.
TvC enhances the above gameplay with new mechanics, including the Variable Aerial Rave that allows characters to be switched in the middle of an Aerial rave. More moves include the offensive Assault and defensive maneuver Mega Crash. Another new gameplay mechanic, titled Baroque, illuminates the character in a rainbow of colors, cancels the current attack and extends combos and damage.
Featuring a robust line-up of characters, the console version added four mini-games and optional control schemes. The U.S. version of the game may additionally feature an online mode along with five new characters (and minus another who couldn’t make the English transition). Although the online play has yet to be confirmed. The English version will also include more mini-games and an enhanced story mode.

* 26 fan-favorite characters from the Tatsunoko and Capcom universes face-off in this stylish 2D fighter
