The Capcom Fighting Game panel was held in the afternoon. They were giving previews for three games, including Tatsunoko Vs Capcom. The Producer for the game, Ryota Niitsuma, was there to talk a bit about it. He confirmed that there would be some new characters included in the U.S. and European version of the game, but couldn't say yet who they were going to be. Apparently part of the problems in getting the clearances for many of the Tatsunoko characters wasn't simply whether the rights for their shows were owned by anyone over here, but also getting clearance to use their theme songs (Or instrumental versions thereof) in North America and Europe. When you consider that they were using characters from a number of different shows, that made this part quite difficult. When he was asked who were the oddest characters that people requested be included as the additional characters, his answer was, "Samurai Pizza Cats."

Yeah there was something just recently with Niitsuma insisting Gatchaman be in the game even though they had the most trouble with that particular license. He also says most of the music will make it into the game (probably for minigames)
The interesting thing about Samurai Pizza Cats. I dunno, maybe James knows more about this than me, but I had heard from a fan watching the Japanese version that Speedy/Yattaro/The main hero would actually recite Ken's lines (Calling himself the White Shadow; Three acting as one, etc) Though being co-owned by what is now Namco-Bandai, the chances of him being in it are kinda iffy.
About the Gatchaman movie, it's nice to see their pushing it. The whole thing with Paul Dini writing the script, that was dropped, right, or is he still doing that?

He didn't say it on a regular basis, but yes, he did make that quote once. Specifically he said, "Sometimes three, sometimes one, we are the white shadow that slips in unseen, the Science Ninja Team... No, we're the Secret Ninja Team Nyanki." Considering the comical nature of the series, it should come as no surprise that they would throw that in.

It took me a couple of minutes to figure out what you were talking about here, and some checking to find out that the Sotsu Agency is partially owned by Bandai-Namco Holdings. Regardless, I doubt that this would really be that big a problem, since Bandai-Namco only owns 16.13% of the company, and Sotsu can still operate semi-independently (Much like the situation with Tatsunoko and Takara). Besides, Bandai-Namco would probably be happy to make their 16.13% of the profits from licensing a series as old as Teyandee.

Paul Dini has been off of the project for quite some time now. His involvement ended a couple of months after it was first announced. In fact, anyone that you ever heard was involved with the film is off the project now. Whenever Imagi does begin working on it again, they will be starting from scratch.
