Capcom held a special event today to show off upcoming titles, and here's part of what made it so
special: the unveiling of three new characters for their blazing hot, currently-Japan-only fighting game
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. One of whom is Viewtiful Joe, seen here punching the kid from
Onimusha in the junk. Joe happens to be
the perfect Capcom character for this game. He's a parody of
exactly the kind of superhero characters that make up most of the Tatsunoko lineup! Also, he's really awesome.
The other new Capcom character is Saki from
Quiz Nanairo DREAMS, who previously appeared as a "partner" in
Marvel vs. Capcom, and now makes her debut as a playable character. On the Tatsunoko side,
Ippatsuman has been added to the roster.

Damn you, Tatsunoko, figure out who owns the rights to your IPs in North America
And do it fast!

If this stays Japan-only, i'm so importing it.

Homebrew is easy if you just look into it online people, you can get a region-free game playing program like Gecko and then import the game.

I've never been happier to see a character in a fighting game before (unless you count sonic in brawl but he sucks=P )

Joe is such a perfect choice for this game. I'm totally importing this sucker on day one!
PLUS! This brings us one step closer to getting Gene in the game. If they put the God Hand himself in, I would literally squeal in joy until I passed out.
