Tatsunoko vs. Capcom – GC 09 – Downtown Gameplay

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is Capcom’s seventh Versus series fighter game and features characters from the Japanese animation studio Tatsunoko Production and video game company Capcom. Like traditional fighting games, gameplay consists of attempting to knockout the opponent on a 2D plane. This plane creates a 2.5D environment in conjunction with character models and backgrounds rendered in 3D—a first for the Vs. series. Tatsunoko vs. Capcom’s simplified three-button attack system is a departure from Street Fighter and some previous Versus fighting titles since the game was developed with the Wii in mind.

Licensing issues involving Tatsunoko characters initially forced the game to remain a Japanese exclusive. However, Capcom worked to deal with these issues leading the Wii game to be localized outside of Japan.
