As a wise street shark once said while skitching on rollerblades, "Jawesome!".

You just brought back a whole bunch of memories with that Street Sharks reference. Thank you good sir.

Really trying to hold back a derogatory wii comment, but how exactly would the controls work on that?

Well.. the Wii is getting Tatsunoko vs Capcom, and it looks impressive, both in gameplay and graphics.
I just hope the game can be released on USA (Capcom said in the forums that they are trying to release the game here). Altough I have Gecko OS in the Homebrew Channel, so it would not be a problem to import the game, but still I would prefer a USA version.

Well... they can use the same control scheme of Tatsunoko vs Capcom, which is Nunchuck + Remote. TvC has only has 4 attack buttons, so, you can use the Z and C on the Nunchuck and A and B on the Remote.
You can also use Classic controller.

Wii version would still make sense, except for the fact that the game is probably 720p native. Otherwise (poly count and such) it could probably be done, with some of the lighting possibly excluded. Those poly counts have definitely been beaten in Wii games before

As much as I want to play Street Fighter 4, in my opinion Tatsunoko vs Capcom looks a lot more fun and the art style and character design is way better.
I hope Capcom can brings Tatsunoko vs Capcom to USA too (on any console)... btw... Viewtiful Joe confirmed as a fighter =p
Henshin a go-go baby!

I, too, am hopelessly awaiting TvC to be announced for North America... though it should be noted that the last time I mocked someone (probably you, F) for hoping a game that everybody wanted would actually come out, it happened. Twice.
(It was you, as it turns out: http://www.joystiq.com/2008/05/20/square-enix-considering-stakes-in-competing-developers/ )
So, consider this my mocking of future irony.

Yes, please! If they can't bring over TvC, them make MvC3 with TvC's engine.

I can't wait . Capcom are the only guys who understand how to keep their flagship games tight with each version, except for DMC 2. Sega needs to take notice.

I know all the wii fanboys are all about Tatsunoko vs Capcom, but I dont know any of thost characters other than the Capcom ones, wouldn't it be better to have a new Marvel vs Capcom for us (or make an arcade/psn/wii ware re-release).
I know its really just substituting their silly costumed character with our silly costumed characters, but I just dont think the market is big enough to bring that over.
I dunno are there enough Nandos and Kahns out there to support the port?

Joystiq is only one mirror on public opinion. Statistics at large have shown that these games are definitely profitable if handled properly. Niche games or not, few worthwhile Wii games have "bombed" in the sense that the publisher really lost money.
Although i do agree that some of Tatsunoko's characters are a bit too obscure. I would rather have Toei (One Piece, Zatch Bell) vs. Capcom, or Dentsu (Bleach, Naruto) vs. Capcom

Blah!!! I'd rather have CvS Capcom Vs SNK 2 on the PSN & XboxLIVe with online battles =)

Bionic Commando, Resident Evil 5, Dark Void, and now Street Fighter IV. Capcom sure knows how to milk the first half of the year. Mmmmm Milk.

Capcom is releasing a special arcade stick with the game, so I'd wait for that one.

Interesting... Is it being sold separately or with a bundle of the game? Cause i noticed the special edition is like 20 bucks more. If its not a bundle id just get the hori.

Whenever I see this game I can't help but compare it to the new King of Fighters. KOF just looks so beautiful, especially when compared to this.
Between Vs Capcom, new KOF, and slowly getting better at Brawl, I don't think I'll ever have time for SF4 - unless I spot it at an arcade, or something.

wow. Killzone 2 and Street fighter 4 in the same month, then followed by Resident Evil 4 in march! Great way to start the year.

Good. Perhaps I'll play it now that it's not being released in the holiday chaos.

Do want. But, do want at half price. I'll wait on that then pick this up. I can't see myself spending $60 on ANY fighting game ever again. The time I invest in them is so minimal. Fun for a fix, but nothing I dive into for hours on end.
So I guess my release date is more next Fall. Still, happy to see this coming out, especially for the hardcore fighting fans.
