    Tatsunoko VS Capcom - Mego connection(sort of)

    We just picked up this game last night. It's a 2D fighting game, starring characters from Capcom games(Street Fighter, Darkstalkers, Viewtiful Joe, etc) alongside characters from animation studio Tatsunoko. I'm not familiar with many of the Tatsunoko crew, but I did recognize Battle of the Planets. As I was looking through the playable characters, I found another familiar face -- Casshan. So he seems to have only made it to prototype stage in the Megolike world, but it was still cool to recognize him in the game.

    I have seen that game a few times and wondered if it is any good. Do you like it Amy?

      There'a actually an arcade about 45 minutes from me that has the machine even though the actual arcade game was Japan-only release. I haven't played the home version since it's Wii only but I enjoyed the aracde version quite a bit.

        I didn't grow up playing Street Fighter and other 2D games, so I'm not as used to the control style as my husband is. I'm more into Soul Caliber and DOA, because they are 3D. Otherwise, the game is a lot of fun. I'm hoping that there are more Darkstalkers characters to unlock, because I do like them quite a bit, and all they have so far is Morrigan.

          I'm a huge Battle of the Planets fan and picked up a Playstation Copy a couple of years back. Problem is I can't read Japanese, so navigating the menu and figuring out the controls proved too much work.

          Plus whoever picked the Giant Robot guy always won.

            I don't think this is the same game. The menus and print are in English.

              I just went and checked, you're right. Different Game. Tatsunoko Fight, no Capcom.

              I don't think it was ever officially available in North America, I got it from the chinese mall.

                I got the import of this game last year figuring there was no way it would see stateside release. Now it does, with even more characters....including Jason, or Joe the condor, whichever you prefer. I was kind of puzzled that Speed Racer isn't in the game, nor Astro-Boy, i guess because of licensing issues...
