    The 3DS's lineup keeps getting better with this crazy Sega/Namco/Capcom crossover RPG. A release date has not yet been announced but it is coming to Norh America, Europe, and Australia this summer. Here's the press release:

    Developed by Banpresto and Monolith Soft, Project X Zone features over 50 characters from 29 historic game franchises by three of Japan's most prolific video game companies. In Project X Zone players will use a team of two characters known as a Pair Unit to explore the world within the game. An additional character known as a Solo Unit can be combined with the Pair Unit to assist in battles with Solo Attacks as well as augment the attacks available for players to execute. Throughout the game, epic battles are waiting to erupt at a moment's notice. Players will have to master an array of screen-busting moves including Solo Attacks, Support Attacks, Cross Hits, and Finishing Moves in order to defeat a multitude of foes.

    "Project X Zone is the first title to ever combine such a large cast of characters from a varied list of game franchises into one grand adventure," said Carlson Choi, Vice President of Marketing NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. "Developing a cohesive game and storyline to encompass all of these great characters and their battle-styles was a huge challenge that has paid off greatly with the creation of a truly unique and groundbreaking gaming experience."

    Project X Zone takes place in a world surrounded by a hidden chaos with shadows and evil lurking beneath the peaceful cover of everyday life. When a rift in time and space suddenly appears, a doorway to various universes is opened allowing both heroes and villains from different worlds to cross paths. Players will be able to take control of a huge selection of paired heroes including favorites such as Jin and Xiaoyu (TEKKEN), Toma and Cyrille (Shining Force™ EXA), to X and Zero (Mega Man® X) and discover the cause of the rift and stop evil from coming through and spreading into their world.

    Think this is the mysterious "Project X" 8-4 has been talking about/working on or is that too obvious?

    HO-LEE-SHIT!

    I thought there was a better chance of me putting babies in a super model than ever getting a chance to play this game. The ridiculously fun juggle - combo combat from Super Robot Taisen OG saga: Even More Words to Type, plus all those licensed characters, equals a day one purchase.

    They specifically said that Project X is NOT Project X Zone. Though it may very well be one of their other codenamed projects. Who knows. I guess they'll tell us in the next podcast.

    I'll be honest. Never thought this would make it over. 3DS is shaping up to have a killer year.

    How does it play though? Definitely a SRPG of some sort, but no idea how combat works from the videos I've watched.

    Wow! Considering the fact that Namco X Capcom never made it's way over to the US, I thought this had no chance, but I'm trilled to have another title to add to my 3DS library.

    I have never heard of this, but the concept of a "crazy Sega/Namco/Capcom crossover RPG" sounds awesome!

    EDIT: I checked the wiki and yes, it's bananas. Seriously looks cool. Looking forward to the release.

    I thought this game had a solid 0% chance of coming to the U.S. especially since some of the games haven't been published in the U.S.

    Thankfully I was wrong. I can't wait for this! Perhaps they'll translate the ridiculous 16 minute trailer as well.

    This is not the normal boring news I am usually greeted with when I return home. This, Luigi's Mansion, Fire Emblem, and Pokemon make me somewhat glad I got a 3DS.

    So with this now confirmed for the West, if I am to understand correctly these are the games we are still awaiting localization announcements:

    Remasters/Remakes

    Just wanna point out, your use of the word reissue is wrong here. A reissue is something that went out of print and is being produced again. Like when Epic/Sony put out a fresh run of Michael Jackson's Thriller on CD again, maybe with a new cover. Or as a recent video game example, the reissue with different cover art of 999. DQ7 3DS is a full on remake, the whole game is being made again in 3D. Not sure what the Kingdom Hearts game is though.

    Yeah, VC3 is guaranteed to never see a Western release (there is however a fan translation project in the works). The series never sold all that well outside of Japan, and the world has mostly moved on from the original PSP.

    Type-0 and Ace Attorney Investigations 2 will also probably never see English releases on their original platforms, but these two at least have the possibility to pop up in the form of some sort of updated version later on. I could definitely see Sony pitching in a little money to fund a PS Vita version of Type-0, and the Ace Attorney series has a long history of late Western releases on later pieces of hardware.

    I will get Project X Zone after I get 3DS in Summer 2013. Thanks god for Katsuhiro Harada. After I passed Project X Zone, I will make Top 20 Favorite Tag Team Characters in Project X Zone and Top 20 Favorite Support Characters in Project X Zone. Then next is Top 10 Tag Team Characters should be in Project X Zone and Top 10 Support Characters should be in Project X Zone.

    I'm seeing this now has a 5th July release date in the UK and is fairly cheap for a new 3DS release at £25. I hadn't heard anything about this before, but from a couple of videos I've watched I'm getting a bit of a Disgaea vibe from it.

    Seeing as I loved Disgaea 3 on the Vita, would this be a title I'd be likely to enjoy or am I completely off the mark with that?

    Just played the demo. Lots of chaos once you launch your attacks and summon your partner. Seems like a pretty sweet game though (and probably worth a fortune in a few years).

    For anyone who has a 3DS: how good is the eShop about releasing games there? I ask because I don't have a 3DS and want to wait until a good sale (maybe Black Friday), and I totally expect this game to be a low print physical release.

    They've been pretty good. Assuming that Namco Bandai offers a digital version of the game, it should be available day one, just like titles like Fire Emblem.
