LOOK! Sonic has red and white hands now...unless he's upside down.

Everyone is upside down.

[Carbo]

All these X chromosomes and no Y's. Is this a gender bender game?

[Reggie Fils-Aime]

Everyone is upside down.

Really? Well I have no clue who any of them are. (Except Zero on the Capcom side.)

They updated that speculation pic, seems pretty legit to me:

[Reggie Fils-Aime]

I think I just saw Megaman on the Capcom side on the official site, I'm not really sure though. XP

Now that Bayonetta seems to have been replaced my a more likely candidate, I've lost a lot of interest in this. What's the appeal of a big` crossover if you only recognise like two of the characters?

So that people are more interested in the game said unrecognisable character comes from. Pit is a perfect example of this.

Plus, there are quite a lot of recognisable characters in that speculation pic, such as Jill, Dante, Zero, Ken, Jin, Tear, and KOSMOS. Unless you're talking about the SEGA characters, because I have absolutely no idea who they are or where they're from anyways. (With the only exception being the guy on the far right, but that's a stretch since I don't even remember his name)

I'm talking about me personally Like, I'd be interested in SSBB cause I know most of the characters in that, and someone like Pit is the exception. From this list of (suspected) characters though I could only pick out Zero and haven't even played an MM game before so there's nothing to be interested in for me.

Oh okay, nevermind then. I thought you were speaking in general right there.

I wonder when they'll release an official statement about this game though?

[Panda Cero]

The site updated again with a new character for each section

Also it seems like everyone's favorite Blue Bomber has risen from the dead to represent Capcom (the red dot leads me to believe that it's X)

Eh, it's cool. X is seriously overdue for some actual representation in a crossover game (aside from the costume in UMvC3, which was a bit of a cop-out). He's the only blue bomber who hasn't turned up in a crossover game personally (not including the ZX peeps, who need some love as well). Considering who's developing it, it makes sense that X and Zero would appear side-by-side. If it IS X, then it lends weight to the likely theory that this is a tactical RPG like most of Banpresto's games.

Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Sigma and Vile appear as enemies.

So, I'm not the only one who assumes this is just a follow up to Namco X Capcom with SEGA thrown into the mix, right? Given the developer, it seems the logical choice. I hope the United States would actually get this one, though. I must command my army of company mascots to do my bidding.

[Stocking Anarchy]

I'd love X to be in this game. When was his last appearance in a Capcom game anyway? (Not counting the UMvC3 costume.)

Probably X8, but I don't follow the Megaman series closely enough to know for sure.

Considering the amount of SEGA RPG characters at the bottom there it seems likely, indeed.

I agree with you man, I'm fine with that, but i want it localised >:|

[Sega DogTagz]

Man, I was kind-of interested in this game...I hope to God they add Sonic, Megaman or Pac-Man. If they don't, I probably won't be getting it...

Do we even know what it is yet?

I've been passively glancing at this stuff but I can;t make heads or tails of it.

[HunterTSF]

I have just happened upon the Slowpoke-revelation of the year that Namco × Capcom was never localized.

...why was it never localized again, exactly? Looking at some of the gameplay, cutscenes, and miscellaneous other morsels of the original instalment it looks like it was pretty fun and jam-packed full of recognizable characters! (Just look at all of them!) Definitely moreso than similar title Cross Edge, and even that got localized. I'm actually genuinely bummed that we missed out on such an interesting-looking game.

If this does turn out to be a sequel of sorts with SEGA thrown into the mix (which seems to be at least somewhat likely, given the abundance of RPG characters represented in the chromosomes and the history between two of the three developers), I'd love to see the first game translated and thrown onto PSN or Xbox LIVE or something so we can experience the game that started it all!

(also, Egg Pawns for SxCxN or no buy.)

As neat as it would be to play Namco X Capcom, it certainly doesn't look like a game that has a market in the west. It's a strategic, turn-based RPG with visual novel presentation. Despite having some recognizable characters, this would never sell, even if they updated it for PSN/360- which they wouldn't. It's a pretty low-budget game, and it's clear they weren't anticipating selling it outside of Japan. I'd love to see it but it really doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of seeing an international release of ANY kind.

That kind of brings up another concern. This game might not get localized either. For one, there isn't an English teaser site. Secondly, Banpresto really doesn't make that many games that get released outside of Japan, bar a few like the DBZ games. And besides Frank West and some Resident Evil and DMC characters, most of the speculated characters are from primarily Japanese franchises. Hell, Kurt Irving on the SEGA side never saw the light of day here since Valkyria Chronicles 3 never got localized.

He's the only blue bomber who hasn't turned up in a crossover game personally (not including the ZX peeps, who need some love as well).

Starforce Mega Man didn't either.

[Thigolf]

They added a countdown on the website, looks like something's happening in one week.
