If it hasn’t sunk in yet, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is definitely coming to North America. Not only that, but it will be even better than the original Japanese version. In a recent interview, producer Ryota Niitsuma talked about a few of the changes that will be made:
The biggest feature would be the addition of new characters, but we will also be tweaking the design of the interfaces. We will be changing some sounds. We will be re-recording voiceovers, we will be recalibrating game balance given the responses we had from the Japanese users, obviously minor bug fixes, and we will also be changing the content of the mini-games that were in the Japanese version.
It has been confirmed that at least one character from the Tatsunoko side won’t be making the cut. Rumour has it that it’s only one character, and that character is Hakushon Daimou? (the genie thing). Capcom has confirmed plans to keep both sides balanced, and new characters (plural) have been confirmed, which means that if Hakushon is replaced, at least two more characters will have to be added. That means two new characters for the Tatsunoko side and one for the Capcom side.
Niitsuma also went on to reiterate that they’re working on an online mode for the game. You can check out the whole interview from the link below.
