Latest Kotaku News

Meh. Usually I just email this stuff out, but it seems like all of the people I email are subscribed to this blog anyway. There have been some exciting stories on Kotaku recently:

Capcom confirmed what was thought to be impossible: Tatsunoko vs. Capcom will be coming to North America, and the new version will have a playable demo at E3. Previously it was said that licensing issues would make a localized version of this game excessively unlikely, but perhaps Capcom was swayed by the wild success of Street Fighter IV. I'm simply speculating here.

Yet another Lunar remake is coming, this time in the form of a PSP game entitled "Lunar: Harmony of the Silver Star." Assuming that this is to be a straight-up adaptation of the original Lunar: The Silver Star, which was a Sega CD game, it will be the second remake. The first remake was Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete for Sega Saturn and the original PlayStation. If history continues to repeat itself, we can expect to see a remake of Lunar: Eternal Blue for the PSP before too long. This time, however, Working Designs is no longer around to handle the localization effort--although perhaps some of their employees are still available. Again, this is all speculation.

There's a new KoF XII trailer, which is very Japanese and rather entertaining. In related news, a detailed analysis shows that it will be impossible to look up Athena's skirt in KoF XII. I suppose that it is important to get the facts. o_O

Valve is going all-out with their "Meet the Spy" promo for Team Fortress 2, including an excellent animated short and some gag posts on their blog.

And finally, the survivors from Left 4 Dead were seen in Rock Band.

Now you're all up-to-date. :)
