Casshern

One of the oft-overlooked titles of E3 was Tatsunoko VS. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars for the Nintendo Wii. The fighting game that has been out in Japan since December was recently confirmed for American release, and features heroes such as the Street Fighters fighting against Japanese mainstays such as Gatchaman and, well... you may have heard of Casshern.

GameSpot reports that character(s) may not make it to the US release, logically from the Tatsunoko side. Many of their characters are spit across various license holders in America, or just aren't licensed in America. This is the primary reason games such as Jump Super Stars and DreamMix TV World Fighters haven't graced our shores. Purportedly, Capcom will replace some characters and boost the roster... which they could do simply by changing the graphics on a character and assigning their moves ets to someone new. Additionally, they report that Capcom is looking into online multiplayer, which would make it one of the very few fighting games on the Wii with that capability.
