Concept: Tatsunoko vs.Capcom is a fighting game by Capcom/Eighting where Characters from the Capcom clash against the old school Anime characters from Tatsunoko.

Gameplay: Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is a 2D Fighter and shares the same elements as Capcom franchise; Street Fighter. Unlike famous Crossover Marvel vs. Capcom, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom uses two characters, instead of three. with your tag team, you can execute a variety of special attacks depending on the selection of your characters.



Sound: The voice acting of the game is original Japanese, so that's a plus. Additionally, the BMG in this game is fantastic.

Additional Notations: The addition of Online mode to the console version was great, and adds playability to the game. It also has a mini game which is Galaga style where you beat up robot, however it can only be unlocked via the credits of the Arcade mode.

Controllers: Gamecube Controller, Wii Remote(Horizontal), Wii Remote + Nunchuk, Classic Controller and Tasunoko vs. Capcom's Arcade Fightstick.

My Opinion: If you are a fan of fighting games and own a Wii, you should get this. If you are a fan of Marvel vs. Capcom 2, this game is 10x better than it, so you should get it. The characters that this game has, such as Zero from Megaman X or Frank West from Dead Rising were a plus to me.


FINAL SCORE: 9/10
