Once again, the North American release for Street Fighter IV gets inferior artwork compared to the rest of the world.

No lie, I thought I was watching a Persona trailer. Either way, get hype! Tatsunoko vs Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars for the Wii comes in less than a month! American fighting game fans who don't pirate their Wii games can finally rejoice. And remember, this isn't an inferior version to the originally released Tatsunoko vs Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes! It will feature Frank West from Dead Rising, Zero from Megaman X (!), Yami of Okami, Tekkaman Blade from...Tekkaman Blade, and Joe the Condor from Science Ninja Team Gatchaman. This is such a big expansion that even Japan will be getting a release!

Hosted by Active Gamers LA at the Hanger Athletic Xchange, the same host and venue for the Tekken 6 Launch Party, Triple Threat will be the largest fighting game tournament we've had in a while. As the image says, each game will have prizes totaling $2200, bringing out some of the best pros the west coast has to offer and the US National Street Fighter IV champion Justin Wong.
