We’ve heard that these two characters – Joe the Condor and Zero – would be part of the roster in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All Stars through a website leak. Today, Capcom has officially confirmed the news. The other two new additions to the game were shared a few weeks ago. An article in a previous Famitsu magazine verified that Tekkaman Blade will be present in the game while Capcom themselves revealed Frank West’s inclusion during the Tokyo Game Show last month.

Rumor has it that Nintendo has already chosen nVidia’s Tegra System-on-Chip processor for its next handheld system. Because the DS’ hardware foundation comes from 16-bit and 32-bit ARM cores, the “next-gen DS” would most likely be backward compatible with the DS/DSi software. Nintendo is also rumored to be showing the system off for the first time sometime in late 2010. I should note that this information to be speculation at this point. If Nintendo were to use this technology, the upcoming system would be more powerful than the Wii.

“It’s out in Feb, but has never been officially confirmed as anything else. A few retail sites put a loose November date on it, but we never officially gave it a date until recently,” a rep told us. Although the game was widely expected out this winter.” – Konami statement

You see, this is the reason why I’m very hesitant to post retailer listings on the site. It is true that Konami never announced an official release date previously, but at least we know now that it should be coming out in February in Europe. We’ll have to wait and see what happens with the North American date, though.
