Tatsunoko vs Capcom to be Removed From Sale
Publisher lost the rights "fairly recently".
Waiting on a Tatsunoko vs Capcom sequel? Don't hold your breath - the Japanese publisher has revealed that it has lost the rights to the Tatsunoko license a while ago, and is unlikely to renew it. As a result, the Wii crossover brawler can no longer be sold through physical of digital means.
The confirmation came from Capcom's senior vice president, Christian Svensson, in response to a question on the Capcom-Unity forums regarding backwards compatibility for the game on Wii U. By the way, you will be able to play Tatsunoko vs Capcom on the Wii U.
"Our rights with Tatsunoko have lapsed fairly recently (so we're no longer allowed to sell the title physically or digitally)," he wrote. "Unless Japan were to strike a new deal, I'd say the chances of this happening are slim."
Seems that the only way to get your Tatsunoko vs Capcom fix now is to keep your Wii (or get a Wii U) and hunt for a copy on eBay. That resale price is going to skyrocket.
