Tatsunoko vs Capcom site offers resource for importers

by David Hinkle { Dec 11th 2008 at 1:00PM }

If you're like us, you won't let a little thing like a language barrier stop you from importing what is sure to be the fighting game of the year. So, instead of trying to navigate the abundance of Japanese text and all of the menus, or simply just trying different moves with each character in-game, you can simply print out these handy little cards with each character's moves listed on them, allowing you to safely try out each fighter and avoid the frustration of just winging it with each individual in the game. It's a pretty great resource with a lot of info condensed into one place. If you plan on importing Tatsunoko vs Capcom, then you should definitely check this out.

Thanatos @ Dec 11th 2008 1:33PM

Wing Zero @ Dec 11th 2008 1:44PM

Really? It's not a pain at all if you have Twilight Princess.

You don't have to mod your Wii. The game runs on 3.2 firmware. The Freeloader will still work

I want it but I can't justify import costs and stuff. Plus, I can never be 100% sure that it'll actually work on my Wii. :P It'd be just my luck to import it and have it crash every time I try to load it.

Fighting game of the year?

I have not play it but I doubt it will be better than Battle Fantasia, SSFIIHDR or Soul Caliber 4. Unless you only talk about Wii fight game of the year in which is still lose to Brawl.

themissing @ Dec 11th 2008 2:05PM

mmm. yeah. no.

You are incorrect.

Honestly, watch a few of the videos.

I've played SSFIITHD, and as fun as it is, this game has a bigger roster of characters (some of which from other Capcom games, plus all of the Tatsunoko folk) and is a vs title. It'll have more comprehensive super moves and a tag system.

I just calls it like I sees it. :)

Brawl isn't that good. Random tripping brakes the game.

igorponweed @ Dec 11th 2008 3:10PM

Looks like I'm the only one who agrees with you. Marvel Vs. Capcoj is $10 cheaper, and it has characters Americans would know. Why not just get that?

intro94 @ Dec 11th 2008 10:47PM

dont glorify Soul calibur 4 that much,i got it, and is not the best fighting game ever and It wouldnt be impossible for tatsunoko to be even better.Is not that hard to beat Soul calibur.

I'm just wondering what you have to really do so that an import can play? I'm not a fan of modding at all though. Would there be a chance that Capcom would just release it here without changing anything except the region? I don't care about the text, I just think this game looks awesome.

Hi Tom!
My advice: DON'T pay to get your Wii softmodded. The people who do this charge for a service that is free.

Instead, back up your Twilight princess save to your computer (not SD card), then go to wiibrew.org and install the Twilight Hack, and use the Twilight Hack to install the Homebrew Channel.
Then download GeckoOS and extract it. Note: replace boot.elf from the "HBC" folder with main.dol from the "DOL" folder, then rename main.dol to boot.dol, otherwise the new versions of the Homebrew Channel won't read it.

Once you've done all of that, just copy the boot.dol, meta.xml and icon.png from GeckoOS to a folder on your SD card called /apps/GeckoOS. Boot up the Homebrew channel and Voila, there is geckoOS.

All of this should take maybe 15 minutes to half an hour, depending on how noob you are.
