The above scan was provided to Kotaku after an interesting thread popped up at neoGAF. Some context for all of this is that Capcom was keeping two of the games it promised to reveal at its E3 line-up a secret. Tatsunoko vs. Capcom was widely theorized to be one of the "secret" games, since throughout 2008 Capcom USA had said they were doing everything they could to get the game cleared for North American release.

So the question remains: is the scan legit? It certianly looks like Nintendo Power's current layout style, but the picture is blurry and much of the page text is unreadable. There's also the question of how someone would have hold of a print copy of Nintendo Power's next issue just a few weeks after the original shipped. Let's just say that at this point I won't be surprised if I see Tatsunoko vs. Capcom at E3, but I don't consider it a done deal yet.

The thing that gives me hope with this is that, when it's something as high profile (as far as fighting games go) as this, fakes tend to be denounced in a day or less since people are all over it.

To my knowledge, no such denouncement has surfaced yet but that could just mean this is an exceptionally above-average fake.

Keeping my fingers crossed though.
