Jun the Swan and Roll Join Tatsunoko vs. Capcom

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom looks absolutely amazing, and it's a sin that licensing issues alone may keep it from seeing official North American release. (Good thing the Wii's so hacked at this point that playing out-of-region titles is a cinch, isn't it?) At TGS it was announced that Gatchaman's original Pink Ranger, Jun the Swan, would be joining the fray on the Tatsunoko side.

On the Capcom side, we're seeing the interesting inclusion of Mega Man's sister Roll... and not the Roll from Mega Man Legends, either. The design here is clearly the original eight-bit version of Roll that's appearing now in Mega Man 9, complete with broom. It's an odd choice given that Tatsunoko vs. Capcom's version of Mega Man is the one from Legends who usually puts in appearances when it's time for Mega Man to be a crossover game, but not exactly unwelcome.
