First teased back in February 2012, the mysterious Sega/Capcom/Namco Bandai project has been revealed as a strategy RPG for the Nintendo 3DS called Project X Zone ("Project Cross Zone"). Details are sparse for now, but we've got a partial character roster from the reveal in the pages of the latest issue of Famitsu (via Andriasang).
As you'll see in the list after the jump, most of the revealed names appear as part of a pair. This relates to the game's combat component, in which fighting duos face off against one another. A subsequent update from Andriasang notes that the concept for this mega-crossover was born at Namco Bandai, which approached Capcom and, later, Sega. Check out the source link for more details and hit the jump for the roster breakdown.
- Capcom: Ryu & Ken (Street Fighter 0), 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)

this looks and sounds cool hope they'll localize it. I really bummed when they didn't localize namco vs capcom

Sweet! Sanger 'I am the Sword that cleaves evil' Somvold! I notice there's no pair for him. Not sure who'd they'd pick for an opponent for him. Maybe bring back Kukuru from SRW Alpha 2?

Now its time for a Soney/Microsoft/ Nintendo crossover. I know it will never happen but it would be cool if it did, even if Microsoft would have the smallest roster of the 3.

milking the co-branding thing much namco and capcom? this is basically cross edge with more known characters

Might actually have to get a 3DS now. I've been wanting one but there have been so many games as of late that are really pushing me to get one.
