Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Lost Planet's mech finds trouble

Capcom released two new Tatsunoko vs. Capcom gameplay videos today instead of the usual one per week, and around here, that's cause for celebration! Let's celebrate by watching the videos. The first, above, features Tatsunoko heroes Yatterman no. 1 and Casshern vs. the giant PTX-40A from Lost Planet. That mech is surprisingly agile! And Yatter-Wan the dog is surprisingly huge! After the break, look at some footage of the same Tatsunoko pair facing off against last week's stars, Chun Li and Morrigan.
The characters' minigames include: Yatter-Wan Chicken Race, in which you propel the jet-powered robodog towards, but not across, a line; Raging Wind Friender Intensive Training, in which button presses translate to increased speed for Casshern's own dog, Friender; and Akrid Destroy Mission, a Lost Planet-themed vertical-scrolling shooter.
We couldn't be more thrilled about the impending Japanese release of this game. Well, we could be a bit more thrilled if we didn't have to import it and use homebrew to run it.

According to Capcom, the talks are ongoing to bring this game stateside, but they won't decisively know for another couple of months
Though that statement was made about a month ago

Yeah- I've also heard the Tatsunoko side of licensing would be a nightmare to bring to the states. Lets hope they can do something about it! I'm willing to import it otherwise.

I really hope this doesn't get delivered to my doorstep until after my finals are over.

... Goddammit. I have never imported anything, I have never deemed it neccessary to hack my Wii. But if this doesn't come stateside, I have no choice but to import this. I must own this game.
