Tatsunoko vs. Capcom beat initial expectations according to Capcom

“[Tatsunoko Vs Capcom] certainly beat the initial expectations. It didn’t set any land speed records, but it was a success. And that’s really saying something considering that we’re talking about a game that was not only never coming out, but has a title that most people can’t even pronounce.” – Capcom’s Seth Killian
This is very good news. Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is a high-quality title and Capcom put a lot of effort into bringing the game over to North America, so it’s nice to hear that consumers have been purchasing the game. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting it to sell very well, but I’m certainly glad that it has!
