Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, the Shooter – Gamers may get more than they bargained for when they pick up their copy of Tatsunoko Vs Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars this month.   TvC: Ultimate All-Stars is basically the uber-version of the Japan-only Tatsunoko Vs Capcom: Cross-Generation of Heroes.  It adds more characters, tunes the balance, and gives the whole glorious package worldwide online versus play.  Niitsuma and the team also went back to the drawing board on the collection of zany mini-games from the original, and have transformed one of the best of the bunch into a robust game worthy of a download unto itself. TvC: Ultimate All-Shooters is a 2D shoot-em-up in the style of past Capcom classics as "Legendary Wings" and "Commando."  It takes place on the snow-covered wastelands of Lost Planet, and pits you against hordes of hungry Akrid bugs.
