Streetfighter on Steroids

Yes, the game is Tatsunoko vs Capcom and I know its been out for ages in Japan and it has to be due an English release sometime but I wanted to write a little something about how truly awesome it is. Now, remember the first time you played Soul Blade or Sou Calibur and that feeling you got puling off crazy moves by pretty much just mashing the buttons? Well Tatsunoko vs Capcom starts out just like this. With a bunch of mates and a good few beers this is the perfect game to entertain for a good few hours – or until your thumbs bleed – whichever comes first.

Tatsunoko vs Capcom deals first and foremost superb gratification. Winning a match through sheer button mashing may sound very flukey, and in a way I guess it is. But when you figure out the techniques of mixing combos, special moves and the Ultimate moves the visuals really go a long way to represent exactly how much fun is being had. You could almost forget you were playing on the Wii were it not for the sideways held Wiimote as the graphics in Tatsunoko vs Capcom are some of the finest the Wii has ever produced.

Basically what I’m trying to say here is that if you ever get a chance to play Tatsunoko vs Capcom, whether you find it in an arcade (good luck), or via a Play-Asia import or the dodgy route of downloads (I don’t recommend or condone this method) I urge you to play it. If you like the crazy mad fun to be had in any of the vs Streetfighter or vs Capcom series you will love Tatsunoko vs Capcom.

Buy it. Yes. Buy it!
