As if we needed even more reason to import this game. Here's a look at the game's launch packaging, which includes a soundtrack and character guide booklet. Here is a look at all of the confirmed characters, to keep you up to date: Namco: Sanger Zonvolt (Super Robot Wars) Haken Browning (Super Robot Wars) Kaguya Nanbu (Super Robot Wars) Jin Kazama (Tekken) Ling Xiaoyu (Tekken) KOS-MOS (Xenosaga) T-elos (Xenosaga) Yuri Lowell (Tales of Vesperia) Estellise Heurassein (Tales of Vesperia) Flynn (Tales of Vesperia) BlackRose (.hack) Kite (.hack) Alisa Amiella (God Eater) Soma Schicksal (God Eater) Valkyrie (Valkyrie no Boken) Capcom: Ryu (Street Fighter) Ken (Street Fighter) Chun-Li (Street Fighter) Mega Man X (Mega Man) Morrigan (Darkstalkers) Demitri (Darkstalkers) Hsien-Ko (Darkstalkers) Dante (Devil May Cry) Chris Redfield (Resident Evil) Jill Valentine (Resident Evil) Frank West (Dead Rising) Arthur (Ghosts 'N' Goblins) Devilotte (Cyberbots) SEGA: Sakura Shinguji (Sakura Wars) Ichiro Ogami (Sakura Wars) Erica Fontaine (Sakura Wars) Gemini Sunrise (Sakura Wars) Akira Yuki (Virtua Fighter) Pai Chan (Virtua Fighter) Kurt Irving (Valkyria Chronicles) Riela Marceris (Valkyria Chronicles) Imca (Valkyria Chronicles) Ulala (Space Channel 5) Toma (Shining Force) Cyrille (Shining Force) Harrier (Space Harrier) Opa-Opa (Fantasy Zone) Bruno Delinger (Dynamite Deka) Scooter (Alien Storm) Leanne (End of Eternity) Zephyr (End of Eternity) Rikiya Busujima (Zombie Revenge) Developed by Nintendo's Monolith Soft and published by Namco Bandai, Project X Zone is due out Octoin Japan. Specially timed support attacks will engage 'Cross Hits,' which are some of the more colorful attacks that have been shown in trailers. Most characters operate in pairs, though it is possible to mix in single combatants and call in nearby allies for support attacks. From there, the game's fights become more interactive, allowing players to execute standard attacks and special moves through simple one-button presses. Gameplay is very much what you'd expect from a strategy RPG, maneuvering characters through grid-based battlefields prior to combat. The soundtrack will feature over 45 distinct tracks, pulling from the various games being represented as well as original material. 90 voice actors are contributing to the game (though the entire game does not feature voice acting). Monolith Soft has also mentioned, on its official Japanese blog, that enemies will draw upon franchises from all of the publishers, not just generically designed fodder. Think about that for a second - 200 characters from various iconic franchises spread across three major Japanese publishers. Keep in mind this doesn’t include support characters like Arthur from the Ghosts’n Goblins franchise.From Famitsu, via Andriasang, we now know a few new characters that will be joining a roster of about 200 characters (which includes allies and enemies). Namco Bandai lists the respective games as well.
Not sure where so-and-so is from? It’s cool. If you dig the music, here’s the official soundtrack.įinally, we have an art book featuring different characters in the game, broken into Namco Bandai, Capcom and Sega categories. Brawlers from Virtua Fighter make sense, but Ulala from Space Channel 5? We like how the developers think. Good thing we appreciate it so much, because the limited edition comes with a poster featuring a whole mess of Capcom, Namco Bandai and Sega characters. Sadly, there’s no manual, just two inserts with warnings in two different languages. There’s the game of course, along with a Club Nintendo code. Nothing different from normal 3DS packaging. We’re suckers for special packaging, even if it looks exactly like the normal plastic case. What sorts of goodies are inside the box? Come, let us show you them. You’ll also find collectible items for your viewing and listening pleasure.
That said, $39.99 gets you more than just a copy of this bizarre yet satisfying mash-up. Namco Bandai’s Project X Zone is obscure enough that the publisher chose to release a limited edition to entice both the curious and hardcore. Click here for Project X Zone beginner’s tips.
