Project X Zone Announced for 3DS!
The mysterious title under development by Banpresto featuring characters from Capcom, Sega and Namco has been revealed…
- Namco Bandai’s Kensuke Tsukanaka, PXR’s producer, approached Capcom, and then brought in SEGA
- Capcom’s Tatsuya Kitabayashi said that he and Kazuhiro Tsuchiya are overseeing the project
- This is a “project that realizes a dream crossover”
- Choosing a name with all three company’s names included would have been too long
- Characters have all their familiar moves
- Character list is not final, and there are more hidden characters as well
- Some of the characters not suited to RPGs will still fight in ways you’d expect them to
- 50% complete, due out this year in Japan
- Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine are in the game because Resident Evil: Revelations was on the 3DS
- Characters from Shining Force were chosen because it has the biggest name recognition – characters from EXA were included because they felt they were the best fit
- Yuri and Estelle from Tales of Vesperia were chosen to represent the Tales series because they’re older and closer in age to the other characters
- Sanger Zonvolt from Super Robot Taisen fights solo
- Ulala from Space Channel 5 is teamed up with Shining Force characters
- Characters will combine their signature moves
- Ryu and Ken from Street Fighter do a Shinku Hadouken & EX Hadouken
- Another move combines Ken’s Shoryuken with Ryu’s Metsu Hadouken
- X and Zero from Mega Man X can use moves like X-Buster & Z-Saber and Raijingeki & Twin Slasher
- Kurt and Riela can use an Anti-tank lance & Light of the Valkyria
- KOS-MOS and T-elos from Xenosaga have attacks like STORM WALTZ and X BUSTER & S SAULT
- Yuri and Estelle combine artes to make Savage Wolf Fury & Holy Light
- Kite and BlackRose use Data Drain from the .hack series
It sounds like Namco, Capcom and Sega have a fantastic game in the works for the 3DS…
