I sure hope you like robots…

So Capcom unveiled the US cover art for Tatsunoko Vs Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars today. And I’m looking at it, and I’m thinking, “Wow, there are an awful lot of nearly identical robots, and dudes dressed like robots, nearly all of whom are white with red accents. Is this what 40 years of Japanese animation history looks like?” I would have at least tried not to showcase the sameness of the characters as much as this cover does. It’s a bit underwhelming.

I’m sure the game is going to be awesome and everything, but it’s looking a little bit like Mortal Kombat more than I’d like. Way, waaaay too much palate swapping for my tastes. Would it have really killed them to cut one or two robots or bird-helmet people in favor of, I dunno, Speed Racer or a Samurai Pizza Cat? Maybe someone that your average American has even heard of?
