“[Tatsunoko vs Capcom] was designed to fully exploit the capabilities of the Wii. It was designed solely around the Wii,. So to transfer the game to the other two systems would require starting from scratch. If enough fans say, ‘We want this on PS3 and 360,’ we might do that. It was because of the fans we were able to bring this game to the states in the first place.” – Ryota Niitsuma, producer of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom

“Hopefully the fan reaction is good. If we have good sales hopefully we can think about more games in the Versus series. Personally speaking I would like to do more. I love the series. If possible I would mind seeing a sequel to [Marvel vs Capcom 2]. Of course it would probably be a whole new type of game if we did that. There are a lot of American game developers I wouldn’t mind working with and being able to combine Capcom characters with them.” – Ryota Niitsuma, producer of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom

I’m really hoping that Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars does well. Capcom put a lot of effort into the title, which included sorting out licensing issues so that the game could be released in North America. Plus, if it sells well, it’s possible that more Versus titles will be created. So it’ll be a win for Capcom and a win for the fans.

The Official Nintendo Magazine recently interviewed Eiji Aonuma. Aonuma discussed Zelda Wii, Spirit Tracks, and much more. I’ve posted a number of quotes that I believe you guys will find interesting, but you can check out the full interview here

ONM: How did you manage to release another Zelda adventure on DS so soon after Phantom Hourglass?

Eiji Aonuma: First of all, we have two separate teams, one working on the Wii version of Zelda and one on the DS version of Zelda, so it is not the case that now we have finished the DS game we are moving forward to the Wii version. No, we have already been working on the Wii version for some time and right now at Nintendo in Japan they are doing their very best in order to complete the product as soon as possible.

Talking about Spirit Tracks though, when we completed development of Phantom Hourglass, we decided we liked the touch screen system so much that we wanted to use the same scheme once again. Our mission was to try to launch this new DS Zelda game in a very short time period.
