Project X Zone

[SuperStingray]

Everyone's favorite Japanese third party publishers appear to have joined forces to put together a new, unknown project for the 3DS. ...That's all I got. That and petri dishes.

Commence speculation.

[Candescence]

Take note: It's being developed by Banpresto, the guys who are most well known for making the Super Robot Wars games, which are nearly all comprised of turn-based strategy RPGs in the vein of Fire Emblem. So something similar is likely.

Though, I hear OG Saga: Endless Frontier had a unique and engaging real-time battle system, so they might do something along those lines instead. Who knows.

[Blue Blood]

Ooh, this definitely piqued my interest yesterday. Not really sure what to expect though.

[Dobkeratops]

I'm expecting Tales of Wesker the Hedgehog.

Anything less and I will be disappointed.

[Emerald Chaos]

This... could potentially be amazing.

[Salamander]

THE TWIST: It's actually a plotless minigame collection.

[Cola]

I have no idea what this will be.

All I know is that I must buy it.

[Jix Hedgehog]

You forgot the Nintendo x part! Rawr

You know something heavy is going down when Satoru Iwata picks up the phone! (even if it is a vitality sensor that disappeared off the radar)

From what I was able to read, the Japanese lettering doesn't reveal anything else save the fact that it's a collaborative project between the three companies.

[ProfessorZolo]

Guys, leaked box art!

jk

[The drunkard from space!]

Guys, leaked box art!

I love you.

Seriously though, now I'm hyped as hell!!

[The future]

So Sonic vs Mega Man vs Heihachi Mishima? lol

[Candescence]

It won't be minigames, Capcom and Namco wouldn't go that low, and neither would Banpresto. As I said, it's likely gonna be an RPG of some sort, likely turn-based strategy.

[Your Vest Friend]

They're also making Lost Heroes on top of this, which is also an RPG. Anyone know what else Banpresto are developing at the moment?

[SuperStingray]

All I can say is that if all these companies have to come together to publish this game, there's probably a good reason it requires collaboration, most likely a need for each other's IPs, so I'm betting on a crossover, or at least a card game or minigame collection involving them.

[Lux Klonoa]

Wasn't this announced to be a crossover yesterday?

If it is, Klonoa MUST be in this. He was in the last strategy RPG, Namco x Capcom, btw, but they screwed it up by not releasing it outside of Japan. This could be his big chance for some exposure, especially if Sonic's involved.

[Conando]

Pacman, Sonic, and Megaman team attack. That is all.

[Blacklightning]

It won't be minigames, Capcom and Namco wouldn't go that low, and neither would Banpresto.

[Conando]

Also, it should be noted that Capcom made 2 Mario Party spin-offs for Arcades.

[Eternal EX]

This could be interesting........depending on what they do with it.

[SuperStingray]

UPDATE! ...Well, no new information really, but there's a new trailer.

[Thigolf]

I don't know if it's new or not, but you can click on those circles and see chromosomes or something in different colors.

Intriguing. Character palettes maybe?

Intriguing. Character palettes maybe?

I hope not; there isn't a single blue pixel in Sega's dish.

[#EndyGate]

Oh I get it

Those are petry dishes, and each company is growing a set of 3 characters, likely indication which franchises will get into the cross over
