Tatsunoko Side:

– Condor no Joe
– Yattaman #2
– Shurato
– Soul Taker
– Nakahara Komugi
– Daikyojin
– Beruku Katsue
– Tekkaman Evil
– Braiking Boss

Capcom Side:

– Leon
– Nash (Charlie)
– Date Masamune
– Arthur
– Ibuki
– Vega (M. Bison)
– ReiRei
– Zero Gouki
– Tiara Hime
– Nero
– June
– Rouge
– Tyrant
– Hinata

These characters were all considered to be included in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom at one point, but were cut due to copyright issues, translating characters into the game, preferences, and to keep balance. On a different note, the producer of the game has mentioned that he would be interested to work on a sequel. However, he also wants the first game to sell more than it has.

Yep, the title above is correct. Nintendo has announced the release of a strange channel that will be available for download in Japan. Nintendo, partnering with Yume no Machi, will release a channel allowing Japanese Wii owners to order food directly from the Wii. The Demae (Food Delivery) Channel allows the user to select from 8,500 restaurants. The restaurants can be organized by genre including include pizza, bento, Chinese, sushi, and curry. When an order is placed, the restaurant receives a fax placed by the Wii user and eventually arrives to the customer. The Food Delivery Channel not only provides an estimated time delivery, but also keeps track of every order you make. Sounds like the perfect hotel service, doesn’t it?

The Food Delivery Channel will launch in Japan next year, though it’s highly doubtful that it will release in any other territory.
