First Namco x Sega x Capcom Details: Project X Zone for 3DS

Japanese magazine Famitsu has revealed the cross-over project between Namco Bandai, Sega and Capcom: A strategy RPG called Project X Zone for Nintendo 3DS.

The magazine first broke details on the mystery project earlier today - and as guessed by fans, involves a wealth of familiar faces in the gaming world, spanning the likes of Street Fighter, Resident Evil, Shining Force, Space Channel 5, Tekken and many more.

Namco Bandai's Kensuke Tsukanaka, producer for Project X Zone was the first to make the calls to Capcom, initially pitching the idea as perhaps a spiritual successor to Namco x Capcom - Sega then got involved so the three came up with a unique title that represents all three studios.

Not too much is known about the actual game itself, except that various characters will team up in pairs (aside from a few exceptions) and do battle.
