Tatsunoko Vs Capcom producer Niitsuma-san strikes back with another blog.  He offers a long introduction before getting down to business, where he

a) formally announces that TvC: Ultimate All-Stars will also be released in Japan

b) asks to hear which topic you’d like to hear about in his next blog

c) slaps some fools dropping TvC misinformation (in an extremely polite Japanese style)

Hit the jump for the full story!

(Sept 10) Hello to those of you reading this blog for the first time, and to everyone that has been reading my blogs from “Cross Generation of Heroes”!

My name is Ryota Niitsuma, producer of “Tatsunoko vs Capcom Ultimate All-Stars”.

So, for our Japanese fans, I would like to announce the Japanese release of “Tatsunoko vs Capcom Ultimate All-Stars”!

Yes, negotiating all the details was quite harrowing, but I’m really happy to be able to bring this news to all of you!

In “Ultimate All-Stars”, we have implemented many comments that we received from fans about “Cross Generation of Heroes” and I hope to talk in detail about these from next time on. e.g. new additional characters and network mode, etc.

The next blogs coming up will feature not just me, but many staff who are involved in the project. Please look forward to those as well.

P.S.
In the next blog, what topic would you be interested in?
1 – The background story of deciding on the new characters
2 – The implementing of the network mode
3 – The background story of how we came up with this project

We will be waiting for your messages!
Please send messages HERE (or here if you speak Japanese)

P.P.S.
There was some coverage hinting that there will be 4 new characters to be revealed at TGS, but during the interviews there must have been a mistranslation or a misunderstanding, and the information is not correct….

I was surprised to read this information too.
My guess is that the below two Q&A got mixed up…

Question: When will be the new information/features be announced?
Niitsuma: Around TGS, we will be announcing something!

Question: How many new characters are there in the game?
Niitsuma: About 3 or 4?  We will be announcing those sometime!

And what will be announced around TGS time?
Please wait till TGS!
