The game will not be a straight port of the quirky Japanese title, rather the game will be tweaked for content as Capcom tries to work out licensing deals with all the characters on the Tatsunoko side of the cast. This has always been the issue facing a domestic release of the Japanese title, as multiple companies own the rights of the characters on the Tatsunoko side in the United States and getting everyone to agree has proven a major obstacle."
Capcom veteran Ryota Niitsuma, who produced Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds and Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, has announced his departure from the company.
As common as it is today, it is hard to believe that there was a time where gaming franchises crossing over was just a pipe dream. Capcom broke down the wall, but they took the combination of some of the most unlikely of franchises and made it the norm.
Whether it was a colossal successful partnership with Marvel Comics or a collaboration with rivals Namco and SNK, the “Vs.” series brought unforgettable experiences to the fighting genre.
Love Anime or Manga? Then these games are for you!
Agree with everything except SAO Lost Song. It should be replaced with either Rehollow Fragment or Hollow Realization.
Also there are a few other anime games that were pretty decent:
Gungrave
Berserk (dreamcast)
One Piece Grand Adventures/Battle Rush
Samurai Champloo
Ghost in Shell PS1
Yugioh games
Bleach Soul Resurrection
Cowboy Bebop
Hajime no Ipo
Steins;Gate
Nitroplus Blasters
Dengenki Bunko
MS Saga
And as for anime like games:
Persona
Blue Dragon
Tales games (my favorites being Vesperia, Symphonia and Graces)
Valkyria Chronicles
Disgaea
HDN
I could recommend some japanese games, not exactly from anime..but still i think its worth to play for people who like anime:
Killer is dead, no more heroes (USA wii versiom), No more heroes 2, killer 7, okami, viewtiful joe 1 & 2, god hand
Aww, darn you companies for not agreeing; though I don't know what the terms may have fully been so I shouldn't talk to much. At least we are getting the title localized over here in the states so can't complain a whole lot.
Well what they should really do is get us more familiar with the Japanese characters.
(and add online multiplayer).
Hopefully not many characters are taken from it. I hope they keep that big golden wafer-looking Golem guy. He looks awesome. Also, I hope they add many more than they take out :D
Yer, hopefully they can compensate. Either with more Capcom characters or some other characters that the US companies have rights to.
This could be good as I'm sure they could just add more characters from capcom and other cool shows from japan. Unlockable sf4 character would be cool hint hint.
