Possible four new characters uncovered, online play confirmed.
Capcom has announced that the updated North American version of upcoming fighter Tatsunoko vs. Capcom Ultimate All Stars will see release in Japan. It was already known that the North American and European versions will feature four new characters in place of Tatsunoko's Hakushon Daimao, and now Japanese players will have the chance to fight with them as well.
Famitsu confirmed the addition of Tekkaman Blade from Tatsunoko, and thanks to a leak spotted by a member of the Shoryuken Forums we now have clues regarding the identity of four more new characters. Based on the names of some javascript files on Capcom's website, the new fighters appear to be Frank West (from Dead Rising), Zero from Mega Man X, Yatterman #2, and Condor Joe from G-Force.
Online play has also been confirmed to be worldwide, and available in all versions of Ultimate All-Stars. The game is scheduled for U.S. release by the end of the year.
