Brand-new for Nintendo Wii: Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars! Now, we all know there are only a handful of fighting games available for the Wii system, and that’s what makes this new release so exciting. Check out our review of all the action waiting for you in this game!
The Basics
Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars sort of reminds us of those old-school 2-D fighting games. In it, Capcom characters are pitted against Tatsunoko characters, facing off and laying the smack down by any means possible until their health bar runs out. The game offers a few competitive modes to choose from: arcade, versus and online, an unlockable mini-game, and time trial, survival and practice modes. The best part of the game? Its lineup of 26 characters from both the Capcom and Tatsunoko.
The Highs
Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars comes with all the bells, whistles and attention you expect as a fan. The controls are simple to understand with combos that take practice to master. The characters are look impressive and move smoothly. The opening music is totally catchy. Best of all, it's a 2-D fighting game that’s simple and fun to play, whether you’ve been fighting for years or are picking up the controller for the first time.
Plus, there are tons of characters to choose from – no two are alike. Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars offers 26 unique fighters, each with their own style, speed and super moves. From giants like Gold Lightan to the tiny Roll, there's a character here for just about every possible style of player.
Finally, Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars is a great value if you're one of those gamers that likes to unlock everything possible, including characters, artwork, movies, costumes and more you can unlock using the game's currency, which you earn by playing.
The Lows
We didn’t recognize most of the Tatsunoko characters in the game, and there’s no background info to fill you in. Plus, there’s no storyline to explain what’s going on here and no animated character endings, which would have been cool.
