It's Sanger Zonvolt, THE BLADE THAT CLEAVES EVIL, not "Somvold". And the Super Robot Wars Original Generations games actually were released in the west, which he was in. Do your research, bub.

Did I just get bub'd?

I copy-pasted the name from the GoNintendo article. I didn't know about the name. They misspelled it. I see that he was in a couple of games that got released in the west, but that's not true for all of his games, including his first major appearances. That and the series is still predominantly a Japanese property so my point still stands- as does my point about the Valkyria 3 characters.

Again, this doesn't look like the kind of game they'd bother trying to release in the west. Besides just the cast, which looks like it was picked to appeal to Japanese players first, turn based, strategy RPGs like this don't do well in the west. There just isn't a big audience for them. The fact that this game's got a 2D anime art style (which I like for the record) isn't doing it many favors either.

You can't tell me a pose with these two sort of like this wouldn't be awesome. It would look AMAZING! I want to see this so bad!

I personally really dislike Megaman X's current design, so I actually don't think it would be awesome. Plus as Indigo said, Sonic wouldn't fit in seamlessly.

B-B-B-B-BUT THEY SHARE SO MUCH IN COMMON! THEIR BOTH BLUE! AND HAVE GREEN EYES! Jking aside really I didn't say that sonic would look good in this game now did i? I merely said seeing a game created that has x and sonic together would be cool.
And i said pose like that, not design.


And who knows? Maybe it will go to the west just like Tatsunoko vs capcom.

It's hardly any different to the original design, or do you mean the design used in X8?

Keep in mind that the games that he has been in that haven't been released in the west weren't localized mainly because the non-OGS games are super robot anime crossovers with an insane amount of licensing issues, and the rest were released on Sony platforms. Sony have some rather retarded localization rules for their consoles, hence why we also won't be seeing any of the Final Mix editions of any of the PS2 and PSP Kingdom Hearts games outside of Japan.

As I said, hasn't stopped Banpresto from localizing their games when licensing and Sony aren't getting in the way, for the most part.

I'm guessing that Sony doesn't allow releases of games that add little updates.

If that is true, why did Metal Gear Solid 2/3 Substance come out on PS2?

[Chooch]

Even if Sonic wouldn't fit well with the other characters that doesn't mean I still wouldn't like to see him, Klonoa, or anyone else that is small, furry, and awesome. It's just more reason to want the game.

I'm just not the type to completely ignore this game because it doesn't have Sonic (or because Sonic hasn't been revealed yet). It has Ulala for crying out loud.

[Blue Blood]

Characters like Sonic, Mega Man, Pac Man and Klonoa would be a very big draw to this game for me. Everyone who is in it I don't really recognise, bar Ulala, Pai and Akira, Zero, Ryu and Ken. And even then, Ulala is the only one who's series I play. The rest of them just sort of exist in the gaming community and you can't not know who they are.. I guess Sonic and such were specifically chosen not to be in this game. Which means... the game isn't targeted to my kind of audience. If they planned a Western release, Sonic and Pac Man would be in without question. It's a matter of who the game is designed for.

So basically it's no big deal to me.

[Shirou Emiya]

I don't think that's the full cast list, though. Banpresto games have rather large cast lists, most of them either playable or enemy. Don't be surprised if we do in fact see other characters such as Sonic later down the line.

[Thigolf]

The cast list kind of disappoints me. It's not like I don't know those characters, the thing is, I don't care for any of them, so that pretty much ruins the whole crossover idea for me. Meh.

Edit: I just had an idea... We don't have Sonic because his not human-like enough... so... SONIC-MAN?

Is X using Frost Shield?

[TimberWolf]

Speaking of Klonoa, guess who was in Namco X Capcom?

THAT game had a mostly human/humanoid cast, yet Klonoa fit in perfectly by virtue of being an awesome bipedal video game character. He was also, to my knowledge, the only non-human/humanoid character in the game. So please, explain how Sonic and his pals wouldn't fit in. Pac-Man, okay, I'll give you that one, but people still want him.

My big non-SEGA question: Where the bloody Hell are the SoulCalibur characters?

[BlueHedgehog92]

OH MY GOD! I'm so trilled with this game! I love Demitri!!! *_*

I don't actually care about Namco side, I'll just put my hopes for SEGA and CAPCOM sides

My big non-SEGA question: Where the bloody Hell are the SoulCalibur characters?

Hell where majority of well... A lot of characters?

I would love to see more characters from Castlevania, Darkstalkers, and Regina from Dino Crisis. But you can correct me if I'm wrong since I haven't paid any attention to this game.

[MarcelloF]

These aren't all of the characters.


And if Sonic get's in, all I want is Sonic & Tails.

[Agent York]

Also tossing out these aren't all the characters. What game like this reveals all of the characters in it's announcement?

I really hope this gets localized. It is almost like a dream game for me, helped that the three companies involved make three of my five favorite game franchises of all time... and each with a lot of series and games I enjoy.

I also like how the enemies are also from the games. Even though Revelations only recently came out, I thought it was cool seeing Chris and Jill fight Ooze in 2D...

Klonoa and Guntz (Gantz, outside of japan) were in namco x capcom. Not to mention they developed a brotherly relationship in there as well. But the Characters revealed now are good so far and I'm sure we'll be seeing many more.

That's who I hope atleast make it in the game.

Castlevania is owned by Konami, not any of these three companies, sadly.

X is already in. Adding another Mega Man is unlikely.
