Thanks to Kena for pointing this out. This one is really cool! You can see a glimpse of Katse at the beginning, and they are fighting inside Sosai X's chamber... Ken and Jun both have special attacks that are awesome! Check it out! http://gnn.gamer.com.tw/9/33319.html

Very cool, indeed! I especially liked the ending! Go, Jun!

I must say, it's nice seeing Jun triumph over that shirtless thug in the green pants (whoever he is)!

Nice review of the gaming... I liked the Phoenix effect - must be Ken's special "Hino Tori"!

Thank you for the link TJ. And thank you Kena for finding this.

[FONT=comic sans ms]Definetly she totally kick his butt!..I will like to see Jun vs. Chong Li....[/FONT]

Believe it or not, the guy in the white 'martial arts' outfit is named Ryu. I *think* the shirtless guy is named 'Guile'. There is a Ken in Street Fighter too, but he's blond and has a red outfit that looks like Ryu's.

It always makes me feel happy to see the Swan hand out a serious thumping. I wish I could bring her to work sometimes.

That would be awesome.

wow i like that clip, amazing graphics! It is so fun to see Gatchaman on the rise after so long of never EVER seeing anything about it or anyone knowing of it!!! thanks for posting and i need to see the Condor in action LOL

Well like I said this game is what got my interest piqued in Gatchaman. Seeing this topic I thought I could help by offering some insight and resources to the latest "going-ons". The latest and most likely complete roster is TATSUNOKO Ken the Eagle (Gatchaman) Jun the Swan (Gatchaman) Hurricane Polymar Gold Lightern (a gold zippo lighter that turns into a large robot is AWESOME! Casshern (Classic, not the new SINS version) Tekkaman (Classic, Not Blade) Yatterman #1 Doronjo (from Yatterman) Hakushon Daimaou Karas Ippatsuman I included YT links not only for visual reference, but their in game theme is based off the classic opening (for Karas, yes it's the music in the opening sequence, allegedly anyway) Ken's theme is the classic Gatchaman opening seen in the first trailer. Jun's is unknown, although people have been saying it's either Gatchaman II or the Gatchaman Ending theme) CAPCOM Ryu (SF) Chun-Li (SFII) Alex (SFIII) Batsu (Rival Schools) Morrigan (Darkstalkers) Rock Volnutt/Mega Man Trigger (MM Legends/RM DASH) Roll (Classic version) Saki (Quiz Nanario Dreams, also an Assist in MvC) Viewtiful Joe PTX-01 (Lost Planet) Soki (Onimusha) The game's artwork is done by a personal favorite of mine, Shinkiro, he's favored for his "Alex Ross" like quality. http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/2252/b3n9ysuu9.jpg http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/8186/pa1408852ga6.jpg http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/1268/16rv4.jpg http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/651/28zo0.jpg (that ain't Shinkiro, but it did show up in the Capcom booth at TGS) But wait there's more! http://www.famitsu.com/game/news/1219490_1124.html It's been said that Tatsunoko will produce special animated endings for each character. The latest public trailer shows lots of animated goodness. There will also be special Mini games for each character. Ken's is a shooting gallery while Jun's is some kind of Fly through Hoops game (???) For those interested in the art, there's HQ art of Ken and Jun here: http://www.gpara.com/comingsoon/tatsunoko/081106/ But there's an annoying Watermark :/ I'll be sure to let you know if I found a clean version of the art. And for the merchandise addicts. T-Shirt "Little Heroes" Keychains Aaaaand if anyone's interested there was a new video released this morning with the newest roster additions (Viewtiful) Joe and Saki (Capcom) vs Doronjo and Ippatsuman (Tatsunoko). And no I'm not from Capcom I SWEAR! I'm just trying to help out. I'll be getting the game myself next month (just a few weeks actually)

Wow .... Just ... Wow ... Thanks for sharing all of that!!!!!! SJ

Amazing info! Thanks so much for sharing it with us! I wish I could play that game! Please keep us updated!

I hope they release that game here in the US, although I recognize that it's a vain hope. When you play, be sure to take lots of screencaps for us!

Thanks for sharing -those are some great images! It's a shame though, that Jun gets relegated to the background in some of them! But then, Ken is the leader...

Okay, I did some combining with Photoshop, and put Jun in the foreground!

Ph that looks awesome, LB! Great thinking! Where is she reaching to (on Ken) with that other hand??

Well obviously she is grabbing his butt. I mean with that skin tight suit it would be hard for me to keep MY hands off him. But then I never claimed to be a ninja with all that control.

Oh can I please use that as my Avatar???!?!!!!!!! Oh please??? I think Mark and Princess have been fighting long enough.. SJ

Go for it! Me, as much as I admire the Eagle, I remain a Condor girl.

Nice LB!

Thanks Cain for the great info and artwork! I do like the "Alex Ross" look of it.

Your avatar looks good, SJ! Now we can all speculate about what Jun is doing with her left hand...

Originally posted by lborgia88 Your avatar looks good, SJ! Now we can all speculate about what Jun is doing with her left hand...

You'd have to move Jun a few inches to the left and THEN it would look very naughty XD

I love this as your avatar SJ, but then this pic is great LB, I wish I had thought of it. But then I am an Owl girl so I guess that is why I did not think to borrow it.

I played around with Photoshop on another piece of Shinkiro's excellent art, and I, um, removed everyone not from Gatchaman... Even the Eagle, it seems, needs a Swan to watch his back!

Oooo...I like this!

Wow... Great info, Cain!! Thanks so much for sharing! LB, excellent Photoshop work! You're once again making me jealous over the fact that I have absolutely no Photoshop prowess... But, mmmmm, very smexy image! And WTG on snagging it, SJ!! It's a fantastic avatar!

Ooooooo I love this latest image, so powerful

Oh LB .... Thankee for letting me steal your pic. I did a real half-arsed job of pushing Mark & PRincess together a little to make her look more possessive of her Eagle (Mine, dammit MINE MINE MINE ... All other girlies hands off or you deal with Swannie) ... But this new pic just kicks some ass!!! LOVE IT!!! SJ

Great job! It makes me wonder why I didn't use that as an avatar. I guess because I love the Phoenix Wright-ish "Objection/Take That!" pose

It is a great combination, LB! I love the picture!

Oooo... I love this one too...

I really like the way Shinkiro has drawn Ken's face (okay, and body too) -it looks more real, but still looks like the Tatsunoko Ken we all know and love. I can only hope the CGI people at Imagi can do so well with the Gatchaman movie.

You didn't steal it from me -heck, I stole it from Shinkiro! Me, I'm wishing they'd add Condor Joe to this game's roster. You did make the Eagle and Swan look much closer, literally and figuratively!

Originally posted by lborgia88 You didn't steal it from me -heck, I stole it from Shinkiro! Me, I'm wishing they'd add Condor Joe to this game's roster.

It'd be kinda confusing now that they've already added a "Joe" to the roster. They're most likely going to add Joe as a cameo by having as an alternate color scheme for Ken. I'll be sure to check that out and let you know. The game is also supposed to have Animated endings for each character. It might be a silent cameo like their appearance in the Yatterman 2008 Special a few months ago where only Ken spoke. Speaking of Yatterman, it's a real bummer no one wants to sub the damn thing, it's really hard for a Would-be Tatsunoko fan to find episodes of Gatchaman, Yatterman, and others to watch. The only Tatsunoko everyone seems to be watching is Casshern SINS.

Re-color Ken to have COndor colors? Well, I suppose it's better than not having the Condor at all. with LB though: the characters are drawn very nicely, and definitely recognizable as the originals!

I know what you mean, Cain. I've watched Gatch II, Hurricane Polymer, and some of the original Casshan in Japanese, and there are times I can't even follow the story line. It's easier when I'm watching with James, who knows enough Japanese to do an on-the-fly summary. On the other hand, the animation and music are still enjoyable even when I am clueless as to what's really going on!

Well Capcom USA just posted this the other day. Sounds rather promising! The issue is that there are multiple potential outcomes... it's not as simple as "yes it's coming" or "no, it's not". And we have a few other issues to contend with that I'm not able to get into details on that are coloring what direction we are able take with the franchise in the West. Again, we're deeply in "stay tuned" territory but I don't expect to have any solid news to share openly, one way or the other for a couple months. - Christian Svensson, Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development I would think the only REAL license issues they'd have would be Gatchaman (which I understand is in chaos right now because of Sandy Franks recent expiration of the rights) and Karas (because it's new)

Sandy Franks rights have expired? GREEEEEEEEEEEEAT now lets all put our funds together and buy them so a) we don't have to put disclaimers on all our fics and b) so we can put together a new TV series full of all our wondrful mischief..... sighhh Just kidding, but it's a dream... Ignore me, I'm on my first coffee and am not quite awake yet.. SJ who just got a mouthful off coffee without sugar -- ick

Originally posted by SJ_SwanJun Ignore me, I'm on my first coffee and am not quite awake yet..

Oh, I know that feeling! I know who Sandy Frank is, but I'm not entirely clear on what he has (or had) rights to -BOTP, obviously, but was there more? This sounds like an interesting development.

I'm glad they are seriously looking into it! FINALLY, the PS3 my DH bought might come in handy!

Hi all! I've mentioned fairly recently, but I guess I should reiterate that the situation with Sandy Frank and Gatchaman currently is that Sandy Frank is in ongoing negotiations with Tatsunoko to renew their license for the series. The rights are certainly not up for grabs to any interested party. Regardless, even if all negotiations between Tatsunoko and Sandy Frank ceased, Sandy Frank would still retain all the rights to the unique portions of BotP and G-Force. That would include all the character names, the Hoyt Curtin and Dean Andre music, all the English dialogue tracks, original animation, title logos, and other associated materials. So, even if someone else got the rights to Gatchaman, they would not gain any rights to BotP or G-Force. As far as other characters in the Tatsunoko Vs Capcom game go, Karas could certainly cause rights issues, since the Karas OAV series was licensed and released here by Manga Entertainment. Casshan and Yatterman could potentially be a problem if there are any companies negotiating for the rights to their current series. They're not technically the same versions of the characters, but the close visual similarities between the classic and modern versions could raise some issues.

Maybe, maybe not. The game is being released for home use in Japan, but it's for the Wii, not the PS3. The same may be true is the game is released here. James

Good stuff to know, thanks! I actually got the news from a Nintendo news site. I thought it'd be on Capcom Unity somewhere, but I didn't see it, I know Svenson is the official PR rep and is always answering fans questions. Might've been a forum post or some kind of podcast, or maybe even someone sent him an email and his response was quoted.
