Tatsunoko vs Capcom: Ultimate All-Shooters
Posted by Luke Westaway
Upcoming brawler to feature 2D scrolling shoot-'em-up minigame
You heard right - Capcom are including an old-school shoot-'em-up in their anticipated fighter Tatsunoko vs Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars. The minigame, set in the landscapes of Lost Planet, will let up to four players loose in what promises to be some crazy blasting action.
Playable characters include Ryu and PTX-40A from the Capcom side of the game, and Ken the Eagle and Tekkaman from Tatsunoko, the popular anime studio who will be providing half the game's fighters.
Capcom have a rich gaming heritage and it's nice to see them drawing on past influences to create something like this. It's sure to please those amongst us who mourn the death of the arcade-era anyway. It's a nice inclusion, but it might risk drawing our attention more than the actual, you know, fighting.
Check out the trailer below:

That looks weird. I wonder if it will include anything else?

They should release this on Wiiware for those of us who don't really dig fighting games.

I saw that on IGN yesterday. The game itself and everything looks excellent. I got 50 bucks in change I need to exchange for this.

Looks better than the maingame.

(actually, never mind, it's apparantly a massively expanded version of the original PTX-40A game, so it's new after all.)

What a stunning bonus. It's like a cherry on top of a already quite delicious cake. Can't wait to put my HORI fighting Stick to work again.

...Why has nobody reported about Yatterman No.2's official confirmation?

@Adam - give me my words back. They were in my mouth before you took them from it.

Wow is this like a mini game or does it have a full 4 or 5 stages, if so I might consider picking this up eventually.

TwilightV said:
@vampirelich: It's one in a series of minigames all based on the various characters in the game.

I love that the trailer is in crappy quality, like it was taken from a VHS tape that had bad tracking problems. Really gives it that retro feel. Also, I can't wait for this game to come out.

While I like this idea and it looks pretty cool, why would you include a shmup minigame in a 2D fighter? It just makes no sense.

Cool addition!

@ Egg
It could POSSIBLY be better, if it had some non-Capcom characters I cared about, wasn't a fighting game, came with Megan Fox, and cost $0.

The crappy thing is, that's the ONLY minigame now from what I've heard. They apparently got rid of all the other ones and just fleshed out that one.

That looks so awesome but I ain't spending $50 for that reason alone. I hate fighting games!

But how will the people in Japan get it? It's already out over there.

Maybe as a wiiware game or maybe not at all.

All i hope is that online is good. We haven't seen any videos about online yet

@Mickeymac
This version of TvC is going to Japan as well as the the Cross Generation Heroes version that they already have. Supposedly, Japanese fans begged Capcom to release Ultimate All Stars there after they saw what we're getting.

^ Ah, shoulda known. I feel sorry for those who gotta buy the newer version, though.

What is Ryu doing in a 2-D scrolling shooter? Why not Viewtiful Joe? He actually has a vehicle!

The ONM revw states this mini game isn't that good though the game overall got a 91%. Still, looks interesting
