Feature The History Of Monolith Soft - From Baten Kaitos To Xenoblade And Zelda
A monolithic tale
Monolith Soft has become one of the most recognisable of Nintendo's first-party developers in recent times. Led by legendary RPG writer and director Tetsuya Takahashi, the studio is renowned for the monolithic (pun intended) Xenoblade series. Combining MMORPG-style, memorable worlds, stunning music, and philosophical writing, the...
Resident Evil, Mega Man, Yakuza and more
Project X Zone remains one of the most bonkers games on the 3DS, with quirky gameplay and a storyline that spanned popular Bandai Namco, Sega and Capcom franchises. Though it wasn't a game that truly took off in sales, it evidently did well enough to prompt the recent announcement of Project X Zone 2. As...
Rumour Project X Zone 2: Brave New World Heading to 3DS
More cross-over goodness seems to be on the cards
Project X Zone on 3DS isn't perfect, but its bonkers storyline and mashups of Capcom, Sega and Bandai Namco certainly aren't dull. A lengthy, occasionally odd game, for fans of those companies and their storied franchises it can be a slice of anarchic strategy heaven. The good news is that a sequel...

Chances are some of you may have passed on this title when it first released — but the game has just received a permanent price reduction which...

Hands On Going for the Combos in Project X Zone
Pure pixelated madness
When Project X Zone was announced for Japan, we could barely contain our glee. Here was a game with retro-styled visuals, rocking music and popular characters from Capcom, SEGA and Namco Bandai all rolled into one — oh, and Monolith Soft was one of the developers. And then, it underwhelmed in the Japanese charts. It didn't...
About The Game
NAMCO BANDAI Games' New Tactical RPG Brings Together the Fiercest Characters from Three Major Japanese Publishers to Create One Frenetic Gaming Experience
NAMCO BANDAI Games Europe S.A.S. today announced that Project X Zone (working title) will be coming to challenge gamers in both Europe and Australasia in the summer of 2013, exclusively for Nintendo 3DS. This epic crossover title brings together the fiercest and most popular legacy characters from NAMCO BANDAI, SEGA, and Capcom's most beloved franchises to create a Strategy-RPG experience that can only be described as the ultimate cross-over title.
Developed by Monolith Soft and Banpresto, Project X Zone features over 50 playable characters from 29 historic game franchises by three of Japan's most respected video game companies. In Project X Zone players will use a team of two characters known as a Pair Unit to explore the world within the game. An additional character known as a Solo Unit can be combined with the Pair Unit to assist in battles with Solo Attacks as well as augment the attacks available for players to execute. Throughout the game, epic battles are waiting to erupt at a moment's notice. Players will have to master an array of screen-busting moves including Solo Attacks, Support Attacks, Cross Hits, and Finishing Moves in order to defeat a multitude of foes.
Project X Zone takes place in a world surrounded by a hidden chaos with shadows and evil lurking beneath the peaceful cover of everyday life. When a rift in time and space suddenly appears, a doorway to various universes is opened allowing both heroes and villains from different worlds to cross paths. Players will be able to take control of a huge selection of paired heroes including favorites such as Jin and Xiaoyu (TEKKEN), Toma and Cyrille (Shining Force EXA), to X and Zero (Mega Man X) and discover the cause of the rift and stop evil from coming through and spreading into their world.

Hmm, kind of sceptical about this one. Need more info, gameplay, screenshots and reviews to make a final conclusion. I think the idea of making them fight together is amazing though!
I like the looks of this
ok with the pictures that you see there thay look like the old fighting games but when you have seen the demos,trailer,and gameplay than you will know that this game is SUPER AWESOME WHEN YOU HAVE SEEN EVERY THING i did why cant you just try it ok well see yall later bye.!3
Namco + Sega + Capcom = disaster
I have played every game all these characters in project x zone are in from their own game but the one I din't see coming is freaking John McClane from the Die Hard movies, in Japan they changed his name to Bruno Delinger and has his own game called Dynamite Deka...........Bruce Willis is gonna be buying PXZ, I can see it in my head already
June 25th guys remember that cuz' its gonna be Cross Active Battle System again for the people who own Namco X Capcom
@Fusion14
Pfft, YEAH RIGHT!
@WhoBeThat when a bunch of companies get together to make one game, it usually doesn't end well. Look at Aliens: Colonial Marines.
Oh yeah..... Crap.
Still, I'm warily optimistic about this title.
Played the demo, amazing. This game is going to take up ALOT of my time!
@Fusion14 But that was two crappy companies with Sega as a publisher... This is three mega-giants in gaming creating another entry in a awesome series. Have faith, this is going to rock.
excited for this <3
tried the demo and it was really fresh and fun <3
I'm going to buy it tomorrow...either way if I do't like it,then I'd still play it to waste time but I already played the demo so I'm fine with not liking it..but I'm really interested in the plot
This comes out tomorrow. How come there isn't a review yet?? ><
TODAY!!
awesome game is awesome
I played the demo for this and it was awesome i am definitely thinking about getting this.
Game is AMAZING. Nuff said.
@Gregor Not this time around! =)
Games are on christmas sale on eb games and this one is more than 50%. Planned to buy two games for 3ds 1. Tekken for $12 and had to decide on one other game and it was one of them. Tried the Demo, was looking good, challenging, but only JAPANESE voice. Therefore now its out of my list.
Great game pity there is no way to level grind.
