Frank West Covers Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom!




Capcom fighting games.  I have fond memories of feeding tokens to coin-ops such as Darkstalkers and Street Fighter II Turbo Hyper Ultimate Whatever edition at largely extinct places of yore known as "arcades".  Those days may be gone, but Capcom continues to churn out awesome fighting games for the home consoles.





Fresh from his zombie slaughtering days in Dead Rising, Frank West meets a new challenge in the recently released Tatsunoko vs. Capcom Ultimate All-Stars for the Nintendo Wii.  Frank joins a cast of 26 fighters, some hailing from Capcom properties as varied as Viewtiful Joe and Mega Man, and the others from the very popular animes by Tatsunoko Productions.



Frank has an arsenal at his disposal ranging from baseball bats, zombies, zombies in shopping carts, and of course our beloved zombie disorienting super weapon, the Servbot head.  He's covered wars, so he shouldn't have too much trouble here..... or will he?

For the memorabilia collectors out there, Gamestop offered a pre-order bonus which was a pack of 8 (12 in the full set) lenticular Tatsunoko vs. Capcom cards. Frank's featured on one of these, so you have a pretty good chance of nabbing him should you pick up a pack.

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom was released January 26th in the US.  The official website can be found here.

FIGHT!
