I remember Tatsunoko being moderately successful, even Capcom USA said the game did good in the US, despite Capcom not having a lot of faith for it since Tatsunoko isn't familiar for more americans.
I think in Japan it was fairly popular? The original game was released for arcades, made on a Wii-based board. Then they released the port (Cross Generations of Heroes) on Japan for the Wii, and then they released Ultimate All-Stars in the US, which was also released in Japan as an "ultimate" version of the game.
I also think it was the success of Tatsunoko what made Capcom greenlight Marvel 3 (which was made by the same devs of TvC)

It didn't flop though.
>The game was released in North America on January 26,[56] in Japan on January 28,[19] and in Europe on January 29.[57] Capcom's Community Manager Seth Killian expressed satisfaction with the North American sales of Ultimate All-Stars. "[Tatsunoko Vs Capcom] certainly beat the initial expectations. It didn't set any land speed records, but it was a success," Killian stated.

I'm sorry it didn't come out on the console your parents bought you.

It was leagues better than MvC3

>>376265814
I meant flop in the way that there never was a scene for the game except in japan. Once MvC 3 came out almost nobody gave a shit anymore. Also because it's for Wii and the FGC doesn't care about Nintendo

The FGC cares about brand-wars? They won't play something if it's on a Nintendo-branded system?
If that's the case, any source?

>>376266330
The FGC doesn't care about brands but they will play on the most popular system those games are in. In the case of Street Fighter, Tekken, etc it's always on Xbox or PS because they are the dudebro system, but in Japan, they always try to use the original arcade boards.
It has nothing to do with not wanting to play on certain brands.

I knew it wasn't gonna have a scene of anything but I wished for a proper Pokemon fighting game since I was a little kid

>>376265178
>Flopped
No it didn't. It met sales expectations.

>>376266394
it wasnt a very good game though. really a waste of potential

>>376266875
A Switch port is pretty much inevitable.

>>376266394
fuck off that shit was awful

>>376266737
Any game that sells over 1 million units isn't a flop.

It's only considered a flop because so much was riding on it and they put a lot of money into development of the 2 and half games they produced, sega was expecting it to be such a breakaway success and it only did okay.

Except for SF5 which has no arcade board because it was designed for American console players from the get go.

>>376267882
>game is a commerical failure

pretty much

>>376266875
It sold pretty well.
It's just that the FGC rejected it and they never added in the arcade characters for some reason.

>>376268639
no

>>376266690
Not that anon but probably the wii.
Too bad it wasnt funny

>>376266737

Didn't this game have to sell twice as many copies as Dreamcasts sold at the time to make its budget back?

It was very good, but if it had the Pizza Cats it would have been FUCKING FANTASTIC and sold ten times as many copies.

>>376270695

>and sold ten times as many copies

You let your salt blind your judgement.

>>376270751
yet let your autism blind your hyperbole meter.

awful lotta wii u games in this thread
what a shitty fucking console lmao

>>376265289
Is that a fan art for wonderful 101 or something else?

>>376271329
BROTHER

>>376268708
At time it was selling better than SFV.

>>376266330
black people don't like nintendo

>>376270695
Pizza Cats was a deader than dead IP at the time TvC was made. It wasn't until 2012 that it finally got a DVD release and started getting new merchandise.

Is this one a sequel to the original Section 8 or was the first just titled this? I had some decent fun with Section 8, I'm not even sure how I got it.

I still remember picking up a bunch copies of the limited edition version of this (the thicker boxed one with the ost) for like $20 from EBs because they price dropped it because nobody was buying it.

Fucking great game too.

TvC actually made a profit. Even Capcom was surprised. I really loved the shit out of that game.

>Once MvC 3 came out almost nobody gave a shit anymore.

that's natural for when a new fighting game comes out.

It didn't flop, it sold 1.3m copies on fucking WiiU, that's great

>I knew it wasn't gonna have a scene

It does have a scene, though, it's at a fuck ton of majors: final round, NCR, CEO, frosty faustings, dreamhack austin, atlanta, and denver, thefallclassic, winter brawl, NEC; Summerjam, and Defendthenorth; and has a good amount of locals and they get decent entrant numbers. The issue isn't a lack of player or lack of a scene, it has both, it's a lack of buzz and hype and viewers on streams and on fourms.
