The roster is still leaking out, but here's the cast thus far:
Capcom
Ryu, Chun-Li, Batsu (Rival Schools), Alex, Morrigan, Megaman Volnutt, Roll, Soki (Onimusha)
Tatsunoko
Doronjo, Yatterman No. 1, Tekkaman, Casshern, Ken Washio, Hurricane Polymar, Gold Lightan, PTX-40A, Karas, Jun the Swan, Hakushon Daimaou (Home)
Currently Tatsunoko has the larger cast, but I'm sure it'll even out. Along with that, some of Tatsunoko's characters are huge! They take up a ton of the screen!

Woohoo! Megaman is in!...I was kinda hoping there would be more megaman characters, they seem to fit in with tatsunoko more than any other capcom character.

Well, Roll is in there, too. She's even her Powered Up! model, complete with broom.  |

Don't forget a Resident Evil character.
But god Viewtiful Joe fits in so well, I thought that was HIS game for a moment.

Heh, since Joe's a homage to the old Tatsunoko designs, this is perfect.  More characters than Joe were announced, BTW. We'll also get Capcom's Saki (from Quiz Nanairo Dreams, and was last seen as an assist in MvC) and Tatsunoko's Ippatsuman (who appears to be another G-Force veteran, lest I am mistaken). |

And another trailer. They actually made that huge Genie from that old cartoon a playable character. I was hoping for some Samurai Pizza Cats but this is just as awesome. On the downside this game also has minigames nobody cares about just because of the Wii's control scheme. e: Apparently the Genie was known for awhile now, I'm slow :T

I don't normally come around here, but I'll give my two cents.
Have you played MvC? Then you've pretty much got an idea of how this game works. Just switch Marvel for Tatsunoko and add more features.
The game plays more like a competitive fighting game then the gimmicky fun of MvC (though it was still a fighting game). It has a more refined gameplay, and many of the new features are for those who are serious rather then ready to have a good time (usually being complicated). Of course, it doesn't drain away the fun.
The game has 22 different characters (11 from each side and both having one big character). For the most part, they are all fairly balanced (although Gold Lightan seems overpowered). Even Roll is a pretty good fighter. The is a pretty interesting balance of characters although there is a sever lack of Resident Evil characters (well, there is Joe). The Tatsunoko guys seem to similar though. The Doronjo gangs also tends to hog the spotlight. They are the guides in the menus and are even present during the credits.
The final boss is actually Yuri from Okami and comes equiped with 4 different forms and cel-shaded effects. However, it's a pain in the ass. It's extremely powerful and does specials when ever it wants. Too much
The menus can be a pain simply because there is a lot of them. There seems to be an option for everything. Thankfully, the characters say "Arcade" and "Minigame" which helps. The pause menu is all in English so you can figure out what you are doing in game.
The Minigame are pretty fun if not a bit short. Thankfully, they are entertaining enough. Not amazing, but a nice distraction. Plus they give you points.
I think I covered everything. And with that, I'm off.

Only 22, huh? I was hoping a few more hidden folks would make their way in. Ah well.
