Threw this back on to do Casshern combos (Friender restand: very fun). One of the best things to come out of the immediate post-SFIV period, it's bright, got a great roster, and despite it being a relatively more simplistic game than MvC3 it's no slouch at all in terms of letting you do Cool Shit and also Cool Bullshit. Completely criminal that it's going to forever languish on the Wii, completely absurd that it was exclusive to begin with. "Mega Crash" is one of the coolest mechanic names ever. Please watch any fight scene from the Hurricane Polymar show for a good time!
TvC was a surprise release for the Wii and a game many didn' think would make it to the West due to license issues. Against all odds, it arrived on the Wii. This game offered a fairly casual approach to fighting controls and gameplay by providing easy-to-perform combos and flashy special attacks that cause a ton of damage to opponents.
Graphics and art direction were great and the roster provided an interesting fresh cast thanks to the Tatsunoko characters. In some ways, this felt like a successor to Marvel Vs. Capcom 2.

This game is simultaneously the coolest thing ever and also the biggest missed opportunity. The gameplay is the hype fast paced vs series gameplay everyone knows and loves(?), and the roster for the capcom side is absolutely nuts. We got rival schools, mfin quiz nanairo dreams, lost planet, mega man volnutt, a roll that DOESN'T SUCK??? turbo based. the tatsunoko side is where a bit of the missed opportunities are. they shoulda put speed racer in this man it would have made it the greatest game of all time. They also shoulda put some nurse witch komugi characters in the roster, that would have went so RAW. Considering the fact that this concept will likely never be done again I wish they went absolutely to the limit, but they still made it pretty darn far regardless. For a solid period of time, the characters in this game were all I knew about anime. How times have changed...
this game feels absolutely insane to play. like i've gotta watch some professional matches of this because you can do incredibly cool stuff and rack up tons of damage by, seemingly, just mashing buttons and doing standard fgc inputs. it's absolutely wild and i've gotta bust this out sometime with friends. gonna be playing this one a whole lot more.
This is one hell of a fun fighting game!
It shocked me how this game simplifies its control scheme even more than Marvel vs Capcom 2, but it still has a lot of depth to be found, and a lot of the mechanics that were found in earlier VS games are still intact in this one, which is great!
Doing Air Combos, summoning your partner to do a Hyper Combo, and a whole bunch of other stuff still feel very satisfying to pull off!
The cast of characters is a bit smaller than MVC2, but I appreciate the many new faces to the VS series, like Batsu, Alex and Saki. The Tatsunoko side is one that I had to research on, because I had next to no knowledge on that company's characters, but they feel very fun to play!
While this game doesn't have many modes to go through, it does provide with an in-game shop for you to unlock a whole bunch of stuff, ranging from a character's gallery page, to alternate colors, to special movies and illustrations!
Playing through Arcade Mode, and seeing all of the character's endings, and then doing the credits sequence to get a bunch of Zenny to be able to buy more stuff in the Shop was always a nice thing... even if I did get tired of hearing the Can Can (almost) every time I beat the game. I could've skipped the Credits, but I wouldn't have gotten as much Zenny.
Overall, this is a great Capcom VS game, that I'm glad I was able to try out!
I can't wait to play it with friends in the future!

I absolutely love it when a game lets me do super cool moves and combos by just button mashing. It helps me understand what moves do what and makes me feel like I'm having a good time. This game feels extremely smooth which just makes playing feel like so much fun. A perfect world would be if this game was released on modern consoles with rollback.
This game is better than it has any right to be. Seriously, why is this on the Wii? Why did this ever come stateside? Regardless, this game is just full of charm. The roster is so bizarre that it is hard to really find any fault in, the mechanics are solid, and there is plenty of content for a fighting game. Only real complaints are that they cut the animated arcade endings for this version in favor of still pictures which is a huge disappointment, and the online was laughably bad back when it was still a thing. Otherwise, a must have for any Wii/Vs. Capcom enthusiast, because I know that group has so much crossover.
