I played it yesterday using Wii emulator, and it was soooooo cool  |

I am amazed people are able to play this on Wii emulators. Wow! I use a "Twilight Hacked" Wii to make it Region Free. Thus I play a Japanese copy.
As I said before, Jun is great in this game, even from just a gamer standpoint, she rocks. In fact making this reply, makes me want to fire up the Wii and play some before bed.
And yeah, I'm kinda bummed no one's made any kind of quick translations for the endings yet. Not even a basic summary 
But you guys might like to know Capcom recently stated a couple weeks ago they're still very interested in bringing the game out.
"Do not rule it out" was the response from Capcom's Christian Svensson, vice president, business development and strategic planning, when asked by VideoGamer.com for an update on a western release of the game. "That is all I can say right now," he said. "We are still actively working on having that happen. I can't say it's happening definitively. I couldn't give you a time frame, but as badly as the fans want it, we want to bring it."

And this was dated the 11th of this month. So really it's still up in the air

Hi all!
I don't know the current legal status on every Tatsunoko property over here, but many of the shows that had characters that appeared in Tatsunoko Vs Capsom have, in one form or another, been licensed over here.
Here's a quick breakdown:
Gatchaman - by Sandy Frank, Saban/Disney, and (OAV) Urban Vision
Casshan - (OAV) by Urban Vision (Movie) Paramount
Tekkaman - by William Winkler Productions
Yatterman - (Time Bokan OAV) - by U.S. Manga Corps
Hurricane Polymer - (OAV) by Urban Vision
Karas - by Manga Video
Hakushon Daimao - by Saban/Disney
Ippatsuman - (Time Bokan OAV) by U.S. Manga Corps
So, of the characters that appear in the game, only one, Gold Lightan, has never had any tie to a U.S.-released product. With some of these, such as Tekkaman, I know that the rights have reverted to Tatsunoko. With others, such as Casshan and Hurricane Polymer, any claim would be tenuous, as the only the rights for the OAVs were licensed, not their TV series. Claims on Yatterman and Ippatsuman could be made only by the appearance of those characters in the Time Bokan OAV, and that claim would likely not be very strong. It's also possible that someone is working on a deal to bring over Casshan Sins, the Yatterman remake, or the Yatterman live-action movie, and that could muddy things up a bit. But, in most ways, Capcom would probably be in the clear for the Tatsunoko characters. Still, I suspect that they are taking an abundance of caution to make certain that no one can come after them after the fact. And I have my doubts that they really have U.S. 13 companies that they'd have to deal with to get clearance, but that number sure sounds impressive!
