Capcom: No plans for Tatsunoko vs. Capcom XBLA/PSN port

There are no plans for an Xbox LIVE Arcade or PSN version of upcoming Wii-exclusive fighting game Tatsunoko vs. Capcom.

Speaking to VideoGamer.com, producer Ryota Niitsuma said that because the game is optimised for the Wii, Capcom would be better off developing a sequel for XBLA and PSN than spending the time on a port.

How about you start buying the Wii games you want FOR THE WII!!

Seriously everyone says there's not enough hardcore games to justify getting a Wii but everytime a Wii game gets released they beg for it to be released on their console...

I barely justify having my 360, I just can't justify a Wii. I don't have enough time to play on all 3 consoles. So, if I see a game I want, I will beg for it to come to the PS3 or the 360 so I can play it rather than buying a Wii for the very few games each year that they put out of value (literally talking 2 to 3 games a year of value to me).

Hopefully if others like me want it on other consoles they'll see that as an opportunity to expand their game and reach a new audience.

The fact is a retail release would fetch a lot more profit for Capcom than a DLC. Both MvC2 and SSF2T HD is $15. That is a freaken steal!

" I don't have enough time to play on all 3 consoles."

What would be the difference in
1: Playing it on your Wii
And
2: Playing it on your PS3/360?

How the hell does 3 consoles eat up more time?
Its not like if you are multitasking playing the PS3/360/wii at the same time

[Carl1412]

I thought all Capcom games were supposed to be multiplatform now? Or Capcom said they would be anyway...

[TheColbertinator]

Capcom is a whore who always jumps on the money train so it could come to PSN/Xbl

[Myst]

Nope, Tri~ confirms this. Unless Capcom is becoming a company where it will do "timed" things where they will release it through 360 and PS3 then drop it onto the Wii or Vice versa, Wii to PS3 or 360.

[Nitrowolf2]

actually the said for PS3/360
i dont recall them saying it for the Wii

[ReaperXL7]

The problem is that there just insent enough for the hardcore to truely justify the purchase of a Wii. When Nintendo releases a hardcore game they act like they are bestowing some great gift upon us and we should be greatful of their generosity.

Sony and MS both focus on the hardcore far more than Nintendo has for a very long time, and quite frankly I don't know if their are enough Wii owners of the right type to truely enjoy a game like this, the Soccer moms, grandma, and children will have little clue who most of the capcom characters are in this game, let alone the Tatsu side.

I really hope this game sells well because it deserves to. Lets face facts though, This is probably a bit too hardcore for the average Wii owner.

[Xander-RKoS]

Completely depends on your definition of hardcore.

[Goomba12]

You also know this was made for the arcades, just happens that the machine int eh arcade was a Wii.

[Gamer_Politics]

well its exclusive for wii and it should stay that way....

[sajj316]

Don't see it happening until late this year, early next year. Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is due soon and don't want to take thunder away from that, considering Capcom is trying to sell Marvel on a 3rd title.

[kenshin22up]

That's fine with me, Blazblue and SF4 are keeping me busy as it is.

[RUF1]

I was really hoping to hear that this one would be coming over to XBLA and PSN. Too bad. Perhaps if there's enough demand....

When I had heard about this game hitting the arcade scenes it sounded like a shoe-in for PS3/360. Then Capcom announced it for the Wii in what I feel was the biggest WTF moment of 2008.

I have to say, as much as I love the Tatsunoko properties and was eagerly looking forward to this title, it won't be getting a day one purchase for me. I'll likely pick it up when it's below bargain (20.00 or less), and even then I'll only be doing it for the sake of saying I've played it.

The game just doesn't feel conducive to the Wii's control style and it seems like a step back in the graphics department. I want my fighting games on the PS3...that's all!

[Seferoth75]

Yes it is just so odd that a company announces a game for the best selling console.. It's like we left reality and entered the twilight zone... I mean what company in their right mind makes games for the console with the most sales...

[sarshelyam]

I'm the demographic that buys this kind of game but I'm not buying it on the damned Wii. Has nothing to do with sales and some bizarre concept Capcom has that the Wii is better suited for this title. Whatever, I'm not buying it.

[GFahim]

if ps360 are gonna get TvC then its only fair that the wii gets SF4

[Shnazzyone]

with all the copyright issues getting it to american wii's in the first place why would they make it harder for themselves by dumbing the game down for downloadable purchase. C'mon the wii graphics engine works completely different then any of the hardcore consoles. If they want it on HD consoles they would have to pretty much rebuild the graphics from the ground up. All of those those things above cost money. I think capcom just wants it an wii exclusive then they can move on to one of their other many many projects.

HD owners are just teasing themselves imagining that in any frame of reality tat vs cap will come to hd consoles. Just suck it up and buy a wii... otherwise you miss out on metroid: other M, red steel 2 and galaxy 2 and masamura: demon blade anyhow. Not to mention the greatest golfing game of all time... tiger woods 10 wii. I know i have been playing alot of wii games and they are fun reguardless of what graphics sluts say. I suggest more people give it a shot before automatically shooting it down due to lack of HDMI.

Last I checked this originated in the arcade. It ran on a Wii board but had far more memory to crunch a higher poly count for smoother character models. It was slightly downgraded for the console releases lower memory model, but they retained most of the game without much of a loss.

Bottom line, it would penetrate a larger audience than solely on the Wii. I'm sorry but I just don't believe the demographic that buys the Wii, will buy this game. Some will, sure, but I'm not counting myself amongst them. I'll wait for a better version on a better platform that feels right. I played the game at E3 and it didn't look wonderful, and the play control they had set as default was rather garbage.
