• Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes (タツノコ VS. CAPCOM CROSS GENERATION OF HEROES) is an upcoming crossover fighting game featuring characters from the Japanese animation studio Tatsunoko Production and video game company Capcom. Capcom has stated that the game will "probably not" be released outside of Japan due to licensing issues.

But we can still feast our eyes on some of the videos uploaded on GameTrailers and YouTube.
Here's the latest one, JAMMA Show Trailer:

You'll see that they've now introduced Otoha from the Karas anime, PTX-40A from Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, Morrigan from the Night Warriors (Darkstalkers) series, and so on..

Here's the official Japanese trailer from last week which introduced new characters such as Batsu from Legion of Heroes (Rival Schools), Souki from Dawn of Dreams, Doronjo from Yatterman, Rock Volnutt (Mega Man Volnutt) from Rockman DASH (Mega Man Legends):

It introduced characters such as Gatchaman, Casshern, Tekkaman from Tatsunoko studio, along with of course Ryu, Chun Li, Batsu, Morrigan from Capcom.

Japanese gamers are going buck-wild over Tatsunoko vs. Capcom [Wii]. Most presumably, It deserves as much attention as Super Smash Bros. Brawl [Wii].
This is yet another one of those crazy hardcore 2D fighting games that will not be available anywhere else but the Japanese arcades and Japanese Wii system.
The Wii version features new elements, including the option for simplified Wiimote-based controls (also supports full controls via the Classic Controller), special mini-games (including four-player bonus modes), and an original character, Hakushon Daimaou the genie, as a Wii exclusive.

Release date:
December 11, 2008 (Japan)
