Also the 3DS could be an RPG beast just like the DS and I know a title like this would go a long way to establish that.


Honestly, I was amazed that Tatsunoko vs. Capcom got localized here, but that was a fighting game, so it's on a whole 'nother level. A strategy RPG in the vein of Namco x Capcom, that we DIDN'T see localized here, in spite of it being a 'beast' and a game that would've likely sold decent at worst? I won't hold my breath.


Pokemon Conquest


Did you forget "pokemon" was in the title, that alone insures it sales so its not exactly the same kind of situation.

I really want this to come to NA. Lot of characters who have never been on a Nintendo platform.

That's what people said when Pokemon x Nobunaga's Ambition was announced. And look where we are now...

Can't say I'm disappointed since this is pretty much what I expected. But that won't stop me from complaining!

Should've been an action game. Now THAT would have been 'ballsy'. Don't really see what's so 'innovative' about an SRPG, especially one that'll most likely end up being a mediocre cash-in. Though with Capcom's recent track record with action titles (*cough*DMCandFightinggames*cough*), I guess an SRPG would be better.

this is awesome i really hope they decide to release this.

They have Ulala but not Sonic? How odd. On another note, CAPCOM, Y U NO PUT IN CLASIC MEGA MAN? As for Namco, I don't play anything they put out, so I don't care who they are represented by.

Although I would've preferred it to be an action game, like Blue_Falcon said, I'm happy enough about it not being a fighting game.

It'll probably end up on Vita, too.

I wasn't aware PS2 games were even being made, still...


They actually are... :P Just the usual sports game, but still being made nonetheless.

A RPG!?!? Heck yeah! Weird Mega Man is in it but no Sonic or Klonoa? Both of them had one RPG in their franchise...

I wonder why, they arn't being made by the same company banpresto. Oh wait...

The Banpresto logo was on the website since it was revealed. We all knew it was going to be this type of game because it's practically all they make

I'll be surprised if this comes to america but my suspicions were correct on what type of game this was.

SOMEONE makes the comparison finally.

Let's get this game this time. I'd be all over that.

Wow, I hope this is cool. I'm not sure how these characters will go together in the same game though. Maybe some kind of time traveling, or dimension jumping or something is the only way it seems like it would make sense to have them all in the same game. I'm a little surprised it's not a fighting game. I don't really like too many strategy RPGs (although I love Final Fantasy Tactics, so it could be good), I would have preferred just a regular RPG.

Somehow I've never even heard of NamcoXCapcom until now. I looked it up and it was developed by Monolith Soft, which is promising, but it didn't get very good reviews. I wonder if they will be making this as well?

Because Banpresto doesn't make an action oriented combo command system which made the game a little more engaging to play.

Ehhh, I'm not so interested now. Did you guys play Namco x Capcom? It....wasn't so great. Hopefully this game is pretty different.

Like every 3DS game now adays, it doesn't matter to me until a NA localization is announced. Otherwise it can bomb for all I care.
