Capcom Considering More Vs Games if Tatsunoko Vs Capcom Sells Well

With the UK release of Tatsunoko vs Capcom next week, a recent interview with Ryoto Niitsuma a producer with Capcom Japan, revealed that he would like to continue the Vs. series further depending on how well the title did on the Wii overall. He also showed console balance insofar as that PS3/XBOX360 received Street Fighter 4 and wanted to put his fighting games onto all the home consoles in the market and felt the Wii was the best choice for the Vs. series.

How did you decide on bringing the Tatsunoko vs Capcom to the Wii? Was this a group decision or yours?

Well at Capcom it’s our goal to bring fighting games to all systems and all types of players, because we already had Street Fighter IV which came out for the 360 and the PlayStation 3, we wanted to do something for the Wii. So we thought that the Wii would be a good fit for this type of fighting action game. At Capcom we hope to put fighting games on all systems.

Now that the game is being released, are you relieved that it’s out or are you looking forward to your next project?

I guess I’m split 50/50 I mean of course I’m relieved we’re done we got the game out and I’m happy that the fans are able to play it now. But now that I’ve got this into the hands of the fans I want to get something new for them to enjoy as well. So I mean it’s a little bit of both, but I mean more than anything right now I feel relieved that we got it out.

With the long time frame between Versus titles, do you want to let this one sit for a while or do you want to get back out and make a new versus game?

For us at Capcom fighting games are in a renaissance for our company. So we want to keep making fighting action games so we’ll see how the sales do on this game and if they're well than we’ll make sure to get another game out without too much time passing.

With Capcom already including Marvel comics, SNK, Namco and now Tatsunoku into their Vs. series, what franchise would you like to see next? And do you plan to purchase Tatsunoko vs Capcom?
