Tatsunoko vs. Capcom US TV Spot is Something Special

Most ads for games nowadays are, let's face it, a little uninspired. There are exceptions of course, but more often than not we're met with 30 seconds of computer-animated footage that hardly represents the final product or gameplay in any way.

That's not to say that the entirety of US TV spot for Capcom's Tatsunoko vs. Capcom is representative of the title's appearance, but damn if it isn't effective! I'm loving the throwback look that comes courtesy of a well-done Robot Chicken-style stop-motion melee. It's the next best thing to old toy commercials with overly elaborate backyard playsets and a couple of screaming kids with too much money.

See for yourself below. The ad is set to air next week on USA, Adult Swim and SyFy.
