Project X Zone Is A Collaboration Between Capcom, Namco And Sega

A collaboration game is in the works starring Capcom, Namco Bandai and Sega characters.

One spokeswoman claimed, “What’s a collaboration game? That’s not a thing.”

Details are thin on the ground, with fans clamouring to find friction on the frosty pavement of ambiguity, but it’s named so far as ‘Project X Zone’, and is to be a strategy role-player being developed by the developer of Xenoblade Chronicles on the Nintendo Wii console experience. That developer is Monolith Soft.

Jeremy Synergy, head of graphics at Monolith Soft said, “There’s really no context needed anymore and we’re supplying that. We’re supplying something that doesn’t exist”.

When asked to expand upon his point, he added: “We could have made a new game where the characters are new and fresh but that doesn’t cut the flake anymore. It doesn’t cut it. By putting characters into a dream team of mega busters, they can actually work together stronger and they can also work together faster, more flake-ridden. People know these characters and they are familiar with them because they have seen them before.”

The leaked characters so far include:

Capcom: Ryu and Ken (Street Fighter Alpha), X and Zero (Mega Man), Demitri and Dante (Darkstalkers and Devil May Cry), Chris and Jill (Resident Evil).

Sega: Shinguji Sakura and Ogami Ichiro (Sakura Wars), Pai and Akira (Virtua Fighter), Kurt and Riela (Valkyria Chronicles), Ulala and Touma (Space Channel 5 and Shining Force EXA).

Namco Bandai: Sanger Somvold (Super Robot Wars), Jin and Ling Xiaoyu (Tekken), KOS-MOS and T-elos (Xenosaga), Yurie and Estel (Tales Of Vesperia), Kaito and Black Rose (.hack).

It appears Namco approached Capcom first, spiking the ball before volleying it to Sega to then return the set. But others are reported to want in on the sandy set up.

Tim Quiet, Head of Silent Hill said, “I think fans immediately thought of Pyramid Head when they thought of a crossover between Ryu and Ulala. We want to give the fans what they so desire, what they so yearn for but so far the big three aren’t giving Konami any leeway and it’s getting frustrating out there. I call them every day but they never return my calls, like an ex-wife plagued by memories.”

It seems that Sega are holding back from their more beloved characters like Sonic (which translates to hedgehog of blue in Japan) but as a proper announcement and trailer are soon to be revealed later this month, only time will tell who draws the right cards in this game of mascot poker where all is at stake, yet nothing is to lose.

The computer game is due this year.  

There was also a similar computer game called Namco X Capcom in 2005 released in 2005 but it was only released in Japan. 

Our Japanese correspondent reviewed it and said: “I can’t remember what happens in it”.
