Capcom working on collaboration product with Namco and Sega, likely features some of their fighting game cast

While this may not end up being a fighting game, Capcom, Namco Bandai and Sega all appear to have a collaboration product they're working on which may feature a handful of their fighting game cast. Over on the official site is a countdown clock which is set to expire at April 12 at midnight, and we'll presumably get a lot more information about the title at that time.

Following this project's announcement by Nintendo CEO, Satoru Iwata, the official site was updated with pixels that gamers started referring to as, 'chromosomes,' which resemble some of the minimalistic artwork Capcom has shown in the past on their official blog.

People have lined up who they think some of the chromosomes are, which includes characters from Capcom and Namco Bandai's fighting game cast — including Ken, Batsu and Kazuya.

DLC milking and scam imminent if this is to be developed by Capcom.

I wasn't sure if I should have sent in a tip for this as I thought the game was going to be an RPG even though we don't know the genre yet >.<
Should we submit tips as long as it's somewhat related to the FGScene¿

@#3 Arcsy:

You do know it had Namco with them, so yes there will be DLC milking. Namco is way ahead in that regard, Capcom's just trying to catch up to them.

Judging by the possible roster I'm going to take a guess and say that not only is it not a fighting game but it's not going to get a US release. It'd be for the best if everyone kept their expectations as low as possible.

@Tsevin It's got Frank West in it Capcom believe the West loves him if TvC is anything to go by he was added because they think he adds appeal to Western customers so with him being there this has a good chance of being released in the US.

Funny to see characters designed by Kosuke Fujishima coming from two different sides. Also, I'm surprised Shinobi hasn't been guessed for that blank spot.

@9: i agree, except for the "boring ryu" part.

sfxt is a GREAT GAME, fun to play, but very boring to watch (Y U NO FLASHY ENOUGH?!?)

This would have to be the single worst collaborations, that I have ever heard of.

Their are so many possible projects fans would love to see. I was almost intrigued until I saw Sega instead of SNK.

Sega does have:

Streets of Rage
Shinobi
Virtua Fighter

And as for strange characters they could add Sonic and Altered Beast. Maybe Alex Kidd? lmao.

Sega is pretty cool.

On a side note, I also think SFxT is really fun. But unlike everyone else I also have fun watching people play it at tournaments. It feels like I'm doing some recon:)

Probably a strategy game similar to Namco X Capcom. It makes sense, since this is probably a 3DS game and strategy games are popular on that format.

@16 He's not exclusively popular in the west though, I'm pretty sure he's a really popular character in Japan as well.

It's not a good idea to look at just one or two characters, look at the entire roster. It screams "this is a Japanese game for Japanese people who like Japanese things". So many SUPA KAWAII Anime girls, generic androgynous male characters with swords and crazy haircuts, and other characters from obscure games that the average western gamer has never heard of.

I... have no idea what the game is all about... I mean, take a look at the roster: it's feeling random to the extreme, although kudos if X and Zero are in.

BTW, I'm guessing that Joe Musashi is the missing Sega character, because the colors remind me of a ninja.

Sogmor said on April 6, 2012 at 12:26 p.m.

first off you people haven't done any research, this game has had a site since mid march, it's not a late April Fools, second off its being produced by Ban Presto, a subsidiary of Bandai Namco who handles games like the Super Robot Wars series, Great Battle, and games mainly focused on crossovers that Bandai usually has to handle. So if anything, it'll be some sort of RPG or side scrolling beat em' up with flashy attacks since Banpresto does animations quite well. Banpresto also does a pretty decent job at their crossover stories, despite none of their games barely ever making it to America. If it is a sort of RPG it'll probably play like Fire Emblem in the sense you move your characters around a map which is the way SRW takes things. I'm also quite excited to see one of the Bandai Namco characters to possibly be Sanger Zombolt, who was in some of the Super Robot Wars games. I'm hoping it's quite an expansive roster if it plays like SRW, knowing Banpresto we can expect to see potentially 40+ series like they did with SRWZ2 on the PSP. I'm personally stoked at the possibility of Dr. Eggman and Dr. Wily making a Robot Master and Badnik army and teaming up. As well as the idea of there being SRW characters, since Sanger is one of the assumed characters.

Respect that theme http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ABHFW...

Betting on a Turn Based Strategy game akin to the SRW series and Namco X Capcom. Banpresto is involved so I'm definitely betting on a strategy game.

Who are the Namco people between Yuri from Vesperia and that dot Hack chick? I am even more lost on half the SEGA characters too hah. And yeah, this is definitely going to be an RPG of some kind. If it lives up the characters in it (especially the Valkyria Chronicles and Sakura Wars duders) then I won't have a problem.

It's a Hybrid pack that has the new .Hack movie [Sekai no Mukou ni] as well as .Hack Versus, which is the .Hack fighting game. It's a PS3 exclusive so hope you have a PS3 to play it.
Unlike the Tekken Hybrid disc, .Versus has online multiplayer.

Release date is 28th June 2012.
