The bonkers anime brawler is finally on its way to Wii in the West, but is a sequel in the works for other formats?

Today we caught up with Capcom’s upcoming Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom: Ultimate All Stars for the Nintendo Wii – due out in the US and Europe around the end of the year after licensing issues prevented many of the game’s anime characters fighting outside of Japan.

The good news is although the western version will still lose one of those character, Capcom are promising a minimum of three extra fighters to make up for it – the Samurai Pizza Cats and Speed Racer have both been linked with the series in the past, and have histories in the West that could put them in the frame.

The developer also hinted that it was testing online compatibility for the game, although was unsure whether it would make it into the final code. The big news is Capcom’s revelation that although the title was visually designed for Wii from the ground up a sequel could well appear on other consoles with the game’s colourful graphics given an HD makeover.
