I’m just going to start with a not-so-well-composed review for Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom. The Wii generally has games that are made to be easy to pick up and learn. Which if done right, that is a great thing so you can open it up and get to playing quicker. Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom does that. However, they also have more complex controls for more advanced players. You pick two characters for a tag team style play similar to Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 with two fighters instead of three. The first time I played through the arcade I used the Wii Remote and Nunchuk and set the difficulty sort of low, it was quick to get used to the style of play. After that I set the difficulty up a little bit and changed my control style to the Class Controller and then it started to feel more like a traditional fighting game.

The character roster has famous Capcom characters and some unfamiliar ones for those who may have not been playing video games that long. The real excitement comes from the Tatsunoko characters. I have never really watched any of the Tatsunoko anime shows before so all the characters are new to me and that just makes the game more appealing for me.

The characters are interesting with flashy and over-the-top (in good way) signature moves. The controls can be changed to work perfectly with brand new players and for fighting game veterans. Overall, the game is great.

PS. I’m picking up Super Mario 2 Sunday morning and I will write a more thought out review for that next Friday. See you all next week =].
