Capcom and Namco have unveiled Street Fighter x Tekken, including spectacular gameplay scenes visible below, and have also announced Tekken x Street Fighter.
The announcement, already rumoured for some days, was made at Comic-Con as anticipated:
Fans seem to be delighted, although Tekken fans may be disappointed to see that both gameplay and character design are 100% Street Fighter 4 – fortunately they need not worry, as Namco is developing Tekken x Street Fighter as well, using the 3D fighting engine and graphical style of Tekken. Details of this have yet to be released.
Best thing of this was the Mega Man vs Pacman showdown at the end.
Please, Namco doesn’t need Capcom’s help considering Tekken is vastly way more popular in japan than SF unlike the states. If anything Capcom ASKED Namco for help.
They did this kind of cross over before, just for fighting game. For PS2, Capcom X Namco was release, did not play it so not sure what it was about, but it seems to resemble some type of action RPG.
Both companies are running out of ideas as Tekken is running on its sixth game and Street Fighter has run longer but the story kept changing.
Great tekken could use some improvements on camera mechanics ala SF4.
Why are they just now getting to this?
