Were you up in the wee hours of the morning this past weekend, waiting in line for your chance to pick up Tatsunoko vs. Capcom a bit early at the Nintendo World store in New York City? Yeah, neither were we, but Nintendo World Report was there and they asked producer Ryota Niitsuma a whole mess of questions about the game.

Notably, when Niitsuma was asked what other franchises he might like to work with in future "vs." titles, the producer openly stated his desire to work with not just "a whole lot of" game developers in the US, but also that he'd "love to" work with Nintendo or Square Enix. As for us, we'd love the chance to shoryuken the hell out of Cloud Strife. But hey, who wouldn't?

No More Heroes Vs. Capcom.

Do it.

A "Smash bros VS Capcom" game has the potential to be the best game EVER ... or the worst... or BOTH if you can choose to fight in smash bros rules or in street rules xD

Yeah,

If Nintendo / HAL / Sora / etc. hadn't already done so much with the Smash Bros. franchise, Nintendo may have considered a Nintendo Vs. Capcom. I'd love to see it, but since it may not happen, it would be good to see a Capcom developed Nintendo title from a different franchise. Nintendo has Hudson do Mario Party, Namco do Starfox, Sega do F-Zero, and Capcom do the GB/A Zeldas, etc. so why not a Capcom Kid Icarus or StarFox?
