Video: Tatsunoko Fight! PSX
Last week I showered you with snapshots of Capcom's upcoming Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom. Today I'd like to continue my love letter to Japanimation and Fighters with an oldie but a goodie. The upcoming Wii game is not Tatsunoko's first foray into the game market. In October of 2000, Takara released Tatsunoko Fight. This Japan only title flooded consoles with its' tag team anime fantasy battles. While developed by Takara the game's technical mechanics dance closely around those of Marvel Vs. Capcom and Street Fighter. The system is compiled of light and heavy attacks to be chained together to form unblockable combos, which can be segued into ultra combos as one takes or receives damage. Standard fare to be sure and at a time when others like MvC2 did it better it is easy to see why this game never made it here to the states.
Despite the developer opting out of more original mechanics, the game is flush with bright animations and authentic voiceovers. The fight roster is fleshed out with appearences from several of Tatsunoko's more illustrious shows; Casshern from Neo Human Casshern, and Tekkaman from Tekkaman: The Space Knight. Takara also created an entirely new IP for the story elements surrounding game called Volter: Denkao Senka Volter. All three are scheduled to make appearances in Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom. The entire project is rife with fan service for those familiar with the series and further explains this title's achieved success.
