First Footage of Tatsunko vs. Capcom!!



The first trailer and gameplay footage of Tatsunko vs. Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes is here and it is definitely the successor to the Marvel VS games. It retains the same style of air combos (aerial raves at Japan), hyper combos, assists, and double team supers. There are some new stuff noticed like continuing an air combo King of Fighters XI style switching to your partner and a new counter system. There is still no word on a U.S. release for either arcades and consoles, but it is less than 50/50 considering the Tatsunko franchises have little or no presence at the States, but we all know the Capcom peeps (Ryu, Chun-Li, Morrigan, Alex, the guy from Rival Schools, and the main character from Onimusha 4: Dawn of Dreams confirmed so far). This is definitely another fighting game to look out for if you're a fan of the versus games (MvC2) or the franchises in general.

Yay at 200th Post??

UPDATE - This game is going to be at Evo next month as a location test for U.S. players to try out along with Street Fighter IV and Super SFII Turbo HD Remix (Yes!!!). Here's also footage from a Japan loketest too.

What's Your Story..... More RHCP in Rock Band

Other than "Give It Away" coming to Rock Band 2, more RHCP love is out today in Rock Band 1 with two singles from their Stadium Arcadium album, "Tell Me Baby" and "Snow (Hey Oh!)" along with two more Rush songs, "Working Man" (Master) and "Closer to the Heart" this week as DLC.



"Tell Me Baby" is probably my pick of the week being a familiar song that anyone can rock out to, but the bass chart might be a little tricky for some people.



"Snow" on the other hand is really hard on guitar (Expert) as I couldn't even go 10% on the song with that damn main riff. Definitely one of the harder songs in the game now.

More Rock Band awesomeness next week with EA and Harmonix showing off Rock Band 2 for the first time at E3. Plus, The Who's 12-pack of songs are out next Tuesday, which will be good.
