Update: Looks like this is the real deal! See full image above (Thanks Jake!)
A rumor is abound that in an issue of Nintendo Power, there is a confirmation that Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is heading to North America. Now, I have the issue right in front of me, and nowhere in the game index is there even a mention of the title. It’s possible that a portion of the upcoming edition of the magazine was leaked, but for now, be wary of the speculation. Capcom’s Christian Svensson did say, however, that some news regarding the title may be released in the coming weeks.

Nintendo “have to focus on the hardcore” at E3, says Pachter
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 10 Comments
Perhaps after Nintendo’s upcoming conference in June, people can finally begin to move on from the mess that was their E3 2008 performance. While it would be difficult to argue that Nintendo greatly emphasized on the casual crowd last year, Wedbush Morgan Securities analyst Michael Pachter’s believes that Nintendo must appease the hardcore this time around.
“Last year, they focused on Wii Music, and this year, they have to focus on the hardcore. It’s been three years since the last Zelda game, and two years since Mario, so they have a lot to work with. Maybe something from the distant past, like Starfox or GoldenEye. Who knows? E3 is clearly the right venue for them to cater to the hardcore, as the entire hardcore fan base is paying attention.”
