Capcom-Namco-SEGA strategy RPG Project X Zone might not make sense just yet — we blame all that pesky Japanese writing and dialogue — but its blend of tactical turns-based battles and all-out chaos makes it fun to watch.
The trailer below shows what the game looks like in action (though you'd probably already figured that part out) with footage of fights, maps and dialogue taking up distinctly different positions on the scale of "interesting things to see in a game trailer." It also wins points for showing Resident Evil's Chris and Jill taking down a Blubon from House of the Dead, a winning appearance from Die Hard Arcade hero Bruce McClane and enough nerdy nods to make this an enjoyable game of I spy.
Project X Zone lands in Japan on 11th October. None of the companies involved have spoken about a Western release, but we'll keep you posted.

I hope NA one day gets this game. Trailer looks awesome. Lets just hope it can be a Worldwide Release.
Being beaten by ryu and ken on a turn based RPG
seems fair
I can't wait for that game to never come over here.
I reaaally doubt this will get an international release, but we did get tatsunuko vs. capcom on the wii right? They might be a small chance, but just look at the 2 DS games jump super/ultimate stars from shonen jump, which never got released worldwide (may be because of the many japan-only anime characters that appeared in-game)
Now my question is: Does all the characters shown in the game so far has an actual game/media released here? (in any region other than Japan) If all characters appeared in some way outside Japan, we may have a possibility that this game will come out worldwide (We got T vs.C on the wii right? so why not this game?)
Anyway I am really hoping this come outs here. It looks like an interesting game.
Looks interesting, to say the least. Is it just me or does the game have a strange mix of typical-looking 3D rendered visuals and hand drawn sprites?
Although this does not like my type of game; the graphics and sounds are amazing.
@Gridatttack
Considering the massive scope of the game and that around at least half of the characters have seen international release, it's very likely we'll be getting this game.
This looks exactly like the DS Super Robot Taisen game, which I really like. It would be awesome if this got a international release, but I'm definetly not getting my hopes up.
Good to see they have spent time on making the female characters bouncy!
@Gridatttack The reason that Jump Superstars was never released here was probably because of licensing issues with the characters outside Japan.
I can´t wait for this just like I can´t wait for Ace Attorney Investigations 2´s international release.
Coming to a 3DS near you,Never
Its really too bad this will probably never leave the Japanese market. I'm guessing licensing issues in the US and Europe will see to that. The amount of international press the game is getting is keeping a bit of hope alive though. Made it 3 minutes into the vid and the wife says "what the hell are you watching?".
yay, I still don't know how to really take this game yet It's awesome to see all the characters but, whats the premise to this game? How did they characters all end up together, why they altogether? I got more questions about this game than any I have before
This is the Kim of game that needs to be a premium digital only in the west. With more 3DS's connected to the Internet than any other Nintendo handheld before it, and with the incentives nintendo are apparently offering, what better candidate. It could turn a nice little profit if all manufacturing costs are taken out of the equation.
Okay, after watching the trailer I changed my mind. I went from "seems boring, probably not for me" to "amazing, this does sparkle with me, sunshine!". I now hope for an european release, though I can imagine this game might never leave Japan. There is still a chance, so I'll keep my hopes up.
I hope for a NA but the way the game is, it'll be a huge gamble to release over here, like it kinda was with Nobunaga's Ambition + Pokemon (they cleverly changed the title to sound more like a pokemon only game though: Pokemon Conquest) Here's hoping this works over here in NA/Europe!
This is to 3DS what Jump Superstars was to DS. Anybody up for illegal rom-making?
As far as how the game looks, I don't think it's much of a gamble to release outside Japan. You could advertise that on the popular franchises with just a few of the more entertaining lesser known franchises and it would probably still be a hit.
Chun Li, Mega man, and Arthur made it intriguing enough for me.
The gamble comes in if there are some major licensing issues to overcome. Complexity and cost could make it too risky.
I have my hopes up for this,i mean we got the pokemon crossover and the tatsunoko game,so i hope it gets a worldwide release.
Edit-By the way there is a small mistake in the information,you said in the trailer below you can see Chris and Claire,it's not Claire it's Jill
Jump Ultimate Stars didn't make it, why would this.? Plus they would have to translate all the voice overs for characters that have never been introduced to the States..
I think they should take this engine, and apply it to something more appealing to the states side. Like Marvel vs DC vs Capcom or Hannah Barbarra vs Mattel vs Capcom..etc..
that would make more sense..
Well, looks like it isn't making it's way here
Also, needs more Ulala!!! And you get to fight the first boss from the first game- awesome lol
Oh my god I'm so excited right now
IF this comes to NA and EU you should be able to switch between English and Japanese voice acting. What they could do is translate everything but the voices.
One can only hope for this game though things don't look good.
It looks pretty cool but i doubt it'll make its way to North America... :/
Oh, how I wish they would localize this game.
no sonic?
THIS...IS...AMAZING!!!!! most have in the NA!!! or we will riot.
I just hope someone goes out and says something about the localization. Just a yes or no...
The silence is hopeful, as it means they havent ruled it out yet.
omg were these two monster hunters I just saw?
@L4DYK0M1C
I definitely agree. Needs more of me.
Also I think that Morolina would make a very difficult boss to fight.
Morolina
@James Newton
Correction, that's Jill Valentine not Claire.
