Capcom has squashed the dreams of those hopeful its newest cross-over fighter, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, will come to PS3 and/or Xbox 360. Speaking to VideoGamer.com, the game's producer, Ryota Niitsuma, stated that the effort required to port the heavily Wii-optimized title would be considerable. "If we were to port it to PS3 or Xbox 360 we would have to make the game from scratch, and in that case we might as well just make a sequel of the series on those consoles rather than porting it," he told the site.
Not confirmation of a sequel, but a promising comment nonetheless. Niitsuma said that "we would like to see the reaction of the western market when we release the game on Wii," with regard to bringing the series to other platforms. Since Niitsuma wouldn't say it himself, we'll go ahead and do it for him: "Buy the first one if you want to see a sequel." See, that wasn't so hard.

thats fine considering how in both capcom vs snk 2, and marvel vs capcom 2 their previous versions became considerably obsolete.

Nintendo has no need of your so-called "arcades."

Tatsunoko? Sounds like something on the menu of a Sushi bar.
Am I the only one who's never heard of it before the announcement of this game?

They made some really old Japanese cartoon about some speedy guy who likes racing again, with that one catchy song that went
Here he comes
Here comes Speed Racer
He's a demon on wheels
He's a demon and he's gonna be chasin' after someone.
He's gainin' on you so you better look alive.
He's busy revvin' up a powerful Mach 5.
And when the odds are against him
And there's dangerous work to do
You bet your life Speed Racer
Will see it through.
Go Speed Racer
Go Speed Racer
Go Speed Racer, Go!
He's off and flyin' as he guns the car around the track
He's jammin' down the pedal like he's never comin' back
Adventure's waitin' just ahead.
Go Speed Racer
Go Speed Racer
Go Speed Racer, Go!
I forget the name of the show though.

Could it be "Fast Guy In Car"

Sweet, I couldn't remember if he was as I heard that either the arcade version or Wii version didn't have him.

He's a Wii-exclusive character. Henshin-a-bye-bye!

Supposedly if you bring a Wiimote to the arcade and somehow pair it with the machine, you can unlock all the hidden characters from the Wii version at the arcade.
I remember reading that, but I've never seen pictures of it or anything, so I don't know how true that is.

Thanks for your input guys, but I actually have the 360 version of that Hori, and while it's okay, it's definitely not Sanwa Arcade parts quality. I'm not also not crazy about the buttons comparatively on the Hori, but to each his own.
And there's no way I want to invest in more arcade sticks at this point. Sorry to Wii owners (and I am one), but I think Capcom is putting this out on the wrong system.

You can send in your shit through the "send us tips" button on the top right.
And who cares about a non-mentioned game at the end of the year anyways? Could be fucking anything, who cares?
I got news for you: Someone you might or might not know, will possibly die by the end of the next decade.

Kinda like that episode of the Twilight Zone, only you don't get an obscene amount of money at the end of it.

Wow, talk about a personal hit, i used to send the tips in there but they went un-noticed like the LBP beta one somone posted in comments and they got credited, i only posted incase no one knew, NOT TO DRAW ATTENTION, so calm the fuck down lol.
I dont give a shit what it is either. Just trying to let joystiq know. I figured as much, of course i would get downvoted about a topic like that, If it was the other way arround though.......
But as i said, i dont care for it too much any ways, i got both consoles, its just a rumour and so i would not miss out either way.....Cock

I got to see this in action at Anime Expo this past Sunday. Let me tell you, it looks fucking fantastic. And from the feedback around the Capcom booth, it didn't sound like anyone had any complaints. Everyone was playing with classic controllers and arcade sticks. So it's not a waggle only affair.
