Capcom vs. Whatever/WMG: Difference between revisions

*** ...including a line (thanks to a recent announcement of a possible re-release of ''I'' and ''II'') that essentially postulates that it's the licensing issues with ''[[Breath of Fire]]'' in North America that are tying up the works. (Long story short--Square did original translation and distribution of the original ''[[Breath of Fire]]'', meaning technically both companies may have distribution rights.) THIS particular bit of [[Wild Mass Guessing]] has likely been pretty much annihilated by the (comparatively speaking from past!) fairly massive ''[[Breath of Fire]]'' appearances in the "Heroes vs. Heralds" mode of ''Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3", though.

** ''[[Breath of Fire]]'' actually may have ''almost'' gotten the "No [[Capcom vs. Whatever]]" curse broken--apparently inclusion of chars were considered for ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom]] 3'', then rejected on the basis regarding "foreign appeal" (based on a Japanese Twitter blog from the developers). Apparently there is ''still'' interest in getting a char from ''[[Breath of Fire]]'' in a [[Capcom vs. Whatever]], though--the same Twitter entry notes the developers ''really'' wanted to put Fou-lu from ''[[Breath of Fire IV]]'' in as a playable character.

*** Of particular note to this--this pretty much proves that any potential distribution issues with ''[[Breath of Fire I]]'' certainly don't affect crossovers.<ref>There has been some concern in the fandom whether this would be possible with North American releases, due to Square handling the translation and initial distribution for the original ''[[Breath of Fire]]''; apparently it's now obvious that Capcom has the primary IP rights.</ref>

*** And even in what is arguably a case of [[What Could Have Been]] (the original plan was for ''full'' appearances), this is still--by far--probably the most extensive appearance of ''any'' [[Breath of Fire]] cameo in ''any'' [[Capcom vs. Whatever]].
