Two famous characters were cut from Tatsunoko vs. Capcom

Capcom has already provided a list of characters that were nixed from Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. However, there are two additional well-known names that never made it into the final game: Phoenix Wright and Franziska von Karma. Tatsunoko vs. Capcom producer Ryota Niitsuma was asked why the Phoenix Wright series is underrepresented in the title in the latest issue of NGamer and revealed that there were intentions to include Phoenix Wright and Franziska von Karma. However, the development team ran into a few limitations regarding Wright’s fighting moves.
