quote TreIII, NeoGAF

The way this is working is like so:

The name of the site that's been linked and quoted a number of times by now is "Fighter's Front Line". They are renowned for being a veritable source when it comes to Vs. Fighting games, amongst the Japanese.

So, then this page on said site was found on 2ch by some one several days ago. It not only does such things like seemingly confirm how much the game's arcade board will cost, but it lists what console the game is seemingly destined for.

Yes, it's true that this is not an official Capcom announcement. But like other reputable Japanese blogs, such as "Soutahouse", they have no reason to falsify information, as they have a reputation to maintain.

Thus, why people are basically willing to throw their lots behind this "confirmation". If it was just a random 2ch rumor, than it would be treated as such. But the rules change once when you start having credible sites involved, with their own credibility on the line, to match.

Feel free to wait for an official confirmation, as I'm going to do so as well, before I start celebrating. But again, at this stage in the game, we're basically looking at 80% confirmation, right here.

Can you still get that with the most recent firmware on the wii? Also Free loader would no longer work with it correct?

My only question: Is it a downloadable or retail?

Capcom®, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced that Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is coming to North America for the Wii™ home video game system. Capcom’s popular and critically acclaimed ‘VS’ fighting series is getting an all new next-generation introduction. Tatsunoko vs. Capcom pits Capcom’s iconic characters against Tatsunoko Productions anime superheroes. This clash of heroes face off in two-on-two battles for the ultimate 2D tag-team battle.

Originally released in Japanese arcades in the Fall of 2008, the original Tatsunoko vs. Capcom moved to the Wii console on December 11, 2008. This extraordinary fighter will blend these two rich universes by taking Capcom characters like Ryu from Street Fighter, Morrigan from Darkstalkers and the giant PTX-40A from Lost Planet and putting them against Tatsunoko fan-favorite characters from Gatchaman, Hurricane Polymar, Casshern and more. It’s a battle royale that delivers match-ups that only exist in fans wildest dreams!

Unlike the more well-known six-button layout that the Street Fighter franchise pioneered, the VS line features a simplified four button system: “Weak”, “Medium”, “Strong” and “Assist” for the tag-team option of. The “Assist” feature adds another compelling element found Capcom’s other “VS” series: allowing players to switch their character on the fly or call for help from their tag-team partner, allowing for spectacular super moves (“Hyper Variable Combination”). Successful execution of the Assist feature can turn the tide of battle on a dime. Historically the VS series excels in integrating the tag-team options by including customized moves like Variable Assist, Snapback, and the previously mentioned Hyper Variable combination that lets both characters on one team perform their Hyper attack.

TvC enhances the above gameplay with new mechanics, including the Variable Aerial Rave that allows characters to be switched in the middle of an Aerial rave. More moves include the offensive Assault and defensive maneuver Mega Crash. Another new gameplay mechanic, titled Baroque, illuminates the character in a rainbow of colors, cancels the current attack and extends combos and damage.

Featuring a robust line-up of characters, the console version added four mini-games and optional control schemes

This “newer” version of TvC, currently dubbed Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, removes one character due to licensing issues, and adds five new ones, online gameplay, more mini-games and an enhanced story mode.

Features:

• 26 fan-favorite characters from the Tatsunoko and Capcom universes face-off in this stylish 2D fighter

• Tag-team battles and customized two-character fighting techniques produce a wild, dazzling spectacle

• Wi-Fi Online gameplay allows worldwide matches

• Four battle modes include Friend, Rival, Free and Ranked Battles

• Match-ups are not restricted to just "Friends"

• Earn Points and Titles (for Title Creation) for all to see

• All-new VS gameplay mechanics creates a new way for fans to return to the series

• More than 20 Mini-game provide additional multiplayer fun

• Enhanced control schemes offer a simplified control scheme option and allow use of the Classic Controller and Gamecube Controller

• Wii-exclusive

Now I can't wait to see Casshern in action.

quote Audioslave

I'll only buy this if the forum becomes as big as the brawl forum clan wise.

quote Dragon ZERO

I'll pass on this because I have a burning hatred of all non Smash Bros fighting games due to the complexity and annoyingness of inserting complex commands involving multiple button combos and stick direction shifting just to make your character punch. It's not very n00b friendly, so I never really got into the genre.
