Capcom's deal with Japanese animation company Tatsunoko Productions has expired. As a result, says Capcom Senior VP Christian Svensson, the company can no longer sell physical or digital copies of Wii fighter Tatsunoko vs. Capcom.
Capcom published the Eighting-developed Tatsunoko vs. Capcom on the Wii back in 2010. Svensson also seems to imply "slim" chances for a Wii U version, unless Capcom and Tatsunoko strike up a new deal.
The Capcom store has heavily discounted two games that both happen to feature Frank West: Tatsunoko vs. Capcom and Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop. Both Wii exclusives can be yours for $11.50, unless you want a side order of FightStick with that Tatsunoko sammich.
Buying a Wii arcade stick for a single game might be hard to justify, but Capcom is making it somewhat easier with its latest online Deal of the Week. This weekend, the Tatsunoko vs. Capcom FightStick is marked down 15%, to $67.95. If you buy it together with the game, the whole thing is $113.95, with the stick making up $64 of that.
We should also point out that the FightSticks are $68.56 on Amazon at the moment, so you have another potential avenue for savings. And it wouldn't necessarily just be for one game -- it would be really nice for retro fighting games and even shooters on the Virtual Console, as well.
