]]>Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars Preview and Informationhttp://www.zenotaku.com/main/2010/1/17/tatsunoko-vs-capcom-ultimate-all-stars-preview-and-informati.htmlSean Connolly2010-01-17T17:41:53Z2010-01-17T17:41:53Z

Have you heard? Beneath all of the hype for Super Street Fighter IV is another Capcom fighting game that they are barely advertising at all. The seventh fighting game in the Versus series of fighters, Capcom will release Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All Stars exclusively for the Nintendo Wii on 1/26/10! Where is the hype?! The Nintendo Wii is destroying both Sony and Microsoft combined, yet there is still little hype for this top shelf fighting game? I guess I'll have to do Capcom's job for them.

Like Marvel vs. Capcom before it, this game pits popular Capcom characters against popular Tatsunoko characters in a hyper kinetic 2 on 2 battles. I suppose the main hurdle facing the game is that no one knows who Tatsunoko is. Probably not even anime fans. If this is you, for shame. Tatsunoko Pro is the anime production house responsbiel for Speed Racer, Science Ninja Team Gatchaman, Neo Human Casshern, Hurricane Polymar, Tekkaman, Super Dimentional Fortress Macross (caught your attention now?), Samurai Pizza Cats, The Soultaker, Karas and even co-produced Neon Genesis Evangelion with Gainax. Know who they are now?

Hey everyone! I just wanted to give you a heads up that my latest review on the Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit TV series is up. I explore the episodes that make up the third set and look forward to its finale.

"...I had a fantastic time watching this collection of "Moribito" episodes. Events unfolded so well that it was impossible to take my eyes off of it. There is so much action going on and not one bit of it involved the clashing of sword or spear. Chagum's character continues to evolve and Balsa is a joy to watch. Everything is coming together here as the best fantasy series of 2009 heads towards the finish line."

This is coming to Xbox 360 in retail and to PlayStation 3 over PSN. They really didn't just advertise the game like this, did they?

I can appreciate a good session of Dynasty Warriors. When Koei announced that the two would be coming together for Hokuto Musou (Fist of the North Star Warriors), I admit, I got hyped. Now, Koei had some gameplay snippets as well as a CG intro for the game (or what could be the intro). Needless to say, I can't wait.
