Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom headed to North America after all?

Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom headed to North America after all? photo

The Capcom and anime crossover is finally making it's way to North America after being held up due to licensing--at least according to GoNintendo it is. In a post this afternoon, the site claimed to have been sent a screenshot from next months issue of Nintendo Power with a full featured article supposedly confirming what we had all hoped for--as last we heard, it was only getting released in Japan. So far, there's no news on when the title will be released, but I can only hope it's sooner rather than later.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Tatsunoko Productions, they're responsible for a number of classics such as Speed Racer and Gatchaman, and have worked with a number of major studios including Gainax. The fighting game features a number of characters from their stable alongside characters from the Capcom universe. There had also been rumors floating about regarding the potential for a Marvel vs Capcom 3 using the engine from this game. While I doubt that'll happen anytime soon, it's interesting enough to note that Marvel has been working with Tatsunoko on a joint television venture. So... Marvel vs. Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, anyone?
