Any other US members getting this on launch? I'm super hyped...Tatsuicidal perhaps? I got my TvC stick for my Wii, same body as the SF4 SE but with an upgrade in parts. I like it stock, I might not even bother swapping out for some Sanwa/Semitsu until these are dying. Definatly loads better stock than the SF4 SE was. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suWOxI2QfP4 << Unboxing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx_Z3Q9dX-Q << Bench Test pt 1 using star soldier R's button pressing mode to compare classic controller presses per second to the TvC Stick http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InQR0xVjWl0 << bench test 2 using SF2HF
I've played the japanese version and to be honest while a good game i don't really get the hype besides it being maybe one of the few descent titles to hit the Wii anytime soon.
It is very good, if you like the crossover games. I managed to pick up a GameCube Soul Calibur Hori stick fairly cheap when the Jp version was released, which is well worth it. I'm going to get the PAL release when it's out, mainly so I can read the menus properly.
Nice price! Makes me tempted to get it for my flatmate's Wii (god knows he never buys any games for it) - I'm really not into 2D fighters, but this and BlazBlue just look so good that I could just stare at the screen for hours without actually playing. I remember when the Japanese version came out we were selling it in the store I worked for £80 with the Freeloader (and selling well)!
I want this game.. but right now we just don't have the money for it.. i will have to wait a little after lauch or hope for a deceently priced used copy to pop up somewhere..
Was checking out a stream on justin.tv where someone was playing the US version. Theres five added characters but most of the music is changed and the anime endings are gone. The music, for me, was the best thing in tatsunoko vs capcom. Basically every time you switch a character in, their theme music plays. It was awesome hearing the gatchaman music jump in as your fighting.
