Mad Catz go to Bat For Tatsunoko vs Capcom



The bizarre Wii fighter Tatsunoko vs Capcom is getting a custom peripheral of its own, courtesy of Mad Catz.

Ken the Eagle vs Viewtiful Joe: Fight! Tatsunoko vs Capcom is the probably the only game that will let you play that particular fight, and certainly the only official source. Following the effort [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/91765-Gatchaman-Vs-Street-Fighter] that went in to bringing the game to the west, Capcom are making sure it gets the attention it deserves.

The official Tatsunoko vs Capcom fightstick comes from Mad Catz, who recently gained exposure for its line of Street Fighter IV sticks. What's unusual about this stick is that not only is it for a relatively niche product - albeit a pretty awesome one - it's for the Wii, a device not normally equated with fightsticks.

"We look forward to bringing fighting games fans on the Wii platform a range of distinctive, high-quality accessories that enhance the game-playing experience of Tatsunoko VS. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars," said Darren Richardson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mad Catz.

I must be the only person in the world who only has fighters for the Wii...

It would be my third one, but I will for sure be getting this.

I've not even thought of playing fighting games on the Wii, but now it looks like I could what with a proper joystick and all. What're some decent Wii fighting games to look at?

I wonder if it'll have a customizable faceplate like the SF ones.

I have 2 modded Hori sticks: cheap, easy to take apart, kinda nice as it comes.

I'll probably just use the GC or old school controller, seeing as I'm a casual fighting game player.

Though I'm saddened by the lack of Phoenix Wright. C'mon guys you could have changed the size of the letters on the objection attack.

How is Phoenix Wright going to fight? You can't OBJECT your enemy to death, can you? Maybe he'll summon a judge to hit the other guy over the head.

Well he's in the Japanese version. But he won't be in the english releases because the word objection is to big in english apparently.

here's the article about it if you care,

Oh wow. I didn't realize that he was ever meant to be in the game. Yeah, they had flimsy reasoning for cutting him.

Considering all the evidence he has that can be used as bludgeoning devices.

I'd say he'd be a powerful contender.

I'm just glad I didn't sell my Wii. About time I got my hands on a new Capcom Vs. game. This just helps justify the purchase.

Mad catz makes the crappiest stuff ever.

It always falls apart.

Or is that Pelican?

Whatever, I try to avoid most 3rd party accessories.

To be honest, I think I remember the Japanese getting the Dreambattle stick when TvC came out, so if the bastards didn't bring this to NA/EU I'd be pissed.

Nah, he's not in the Japanese version, I have that version and have unlocked everyone on it (which I now plan to sell to buy the western version).

Probably because those systems have SF4, so it balances out in a way.
