Which would be a good thing; if Capcom made it, it would be MUGEN and if Namco made it, it would be generic button-mashing.

Seriously, an RPG (?) set in the Namco and Capcom universe? There's infinite potential there.

Yeah, except the namco universe is kind of boring and lacking in characters (didnt recognize anyone except Klanoa).

M.Bison vs. Pac-Man and Dig Dug. WOWOWOWOWW

If you have played old Namco games then you'll recognize those characters.
I saw character from Wonder Momo (PC ENgine game), characters from Tale series, and so....

Yeah I doubt it comes out in the US at all. I like the style of the sprites though.

Wow... very weird, but cool... I'd buy it if it came out in the US. Probably won't though as has already been said. Who the hell thought of this though!?

I recognize most of the characters. Samanosuke should have been in there, I almost mistaken Mitsurugi for him. They have Klonoa in there, that's hilarious.

Well, 1up.com posted an article on this and noted that Monolith Soft, of Xenosaga and Batien Katos fame, is behind such a project. :smirk:

The combination of the two companies is very bizarre but interesting at the same time, let alone, in a srpg setting. This seems like another solid reason to study Japanese.

Looks pretty cool.

Now seeing a Sega vs Namco 3-D fighting game...that would be cool: Virtua Fighter and Fighting Vipers vs Tekken and Soul Calibur ;)

Screen 3, NAMCO character illustrations from left to right:
KOS-MOS -- Xenosaga Episode I
Mitsurugi Heishirou -- Soul Calibur II
Stahn Aileron -- Tales of Destiny
Rutee Katrea -- Tales of Destiny
Valkyrie -- Valkyrie no Densetsu
Wonder Momo -- Wonder Momo
Berabohman -- Chouzetsu Rinjin Berabohman
Kazama Jin -- Tekken series

The illustration for Berabohman appears to be based on the front cover illustration of the PC-Engine port of the game:
tosshi28-img400x300-10531906952876.jpg


Illustrations are being handled by Kawano Takuji (Soul Calibur series), with the game's opening animation being done by Production I.G. It appears that the X in the title is pronounced "cross" -- "NAMCO Cross CAPCOM" (similar to the X-Market (Cross Market) magazine Gamest spun off during its last year, before Shinseisha went bankrupt).

PS. Nice sig pic, Stephane -- glad to see someone else enjoyed that CD, too. :glee:
