When it comes to crossover titles, Project X Zone is pushing the boat out by merging three universes: SEGA, Capcom and Namco Bandai. One issue that won't affect this game is a shortage of characters, with plenty of them lined up already and more just announced.
Famitsu has revealed (via Andriasang) that Tron and Kobun/Servbot, from the Mega Man franchise, will be involved. SEGA is joining in with Bahn from the Saturn's Fighting Vipers, while Namco Bandai is including characters Reiji Arisu and Xiaomu from PS2 crossover title Namco x Capcom.
It's also been confirmed that the opening song will be Wind Wanderer, performed by Yoko Takahashi. If it's as good as the music we've heard for the game so far, then that'll be worth a listen.

Awesome! I hope Megaman Volnutt can make it.
Wow this game is Japanese.
Bahn was awesome in FV not quite as good as Akira from VF but they had a super powered Bahn in megamix, in any case great to see a more obscure character in there from the saturn days.
@LittleIrves Are you serious that you didn't know that? o_O
@Eouen He meant, "Wow, this game is very Japanese influenced." I'm pretty sure that's what he meant at least.
@SuperSonic95 Either that or he thought that American people made this game.
Cool, I never thought I'd ever see a Servbot in a positive news headline again. (Even though this game is still only confirmed for Japan)
Since PXZ has both X and Legends characters in it, Bad Box Art Mega Man also still has a chance.
All they have to do is add Sonic, and everyone is sold.
@LJM shudders just thinking of the last time Sonic even attempted trying to be a fighter in SSBB
Sonic was the main reason to own SSBB other than that it mostly sucked
Yo dawg I heard you like crossovers.....
This will be the best game I'll never play!
I am so getting this!
@Reala Brawl IS a fun game but it was unfortunately more of the same and didn't really feel like a valuable investment of my time. While the 'Subspace' mode was an interesting expansion of the adventure mode from Melee, it didn't save Brawl from its stale versus mode and awful online connectivity. Over all I believe the Subspace mode should have been its own game altogether, leaving the developers to immserse themselves in a fresh idea that better suits the games selling point, the versus mode. This game does have some strong points like a stellar soundtrack and colorful character roster and plenty of modes to play, however, the games shortcomings may overshadow them.
@GuardianKing Check out Sonic Battle on the GBA. It's pretty rad.
Brawl is one of the best games in this generation. You all just suck at it.
And this game needs Sonic.
I saw the picture on the homepage on got really excited.
Then I saw the headline.
YOU BIG TEASE!
SERVBOTS!
This game became an almost-instabuy.
Also, Brawl rocks, you haters!
Cool. Still just hoping for a localization announcement.
I never had any problems at all playing BRAWL online, except for this ONE person who had a crappy connection. Other than that, all the other people I've played against had no lag at all.
BRAWL is awesome regardless of what people say.
This news is agonising as its only 50/50 that it will evet come here.
Oh, and, yes, Brawl is an all time great!
@GuardianKing Besides his broken Final Smash, nothing is wrong with Sonic
I still want to see Megaman Volnutt sprites. That....would be amazing.
Add Sonic,AiAi,Shinobi,Raphael,Pac Man,Mrs Pac Man,Phoenix Wirght,and we'll have the best game ever.
Whilst this is great news of course, I think plenty of gamers (myself included of course) would also like to see the Servbots and Miss Tron in another 3DS game....one which Capcom canned for no reason
the game looks so amazing and if also want it to come over state side and everything plz join project x zone localization community to help support the cause long with go to every gaming forum and help get this game noticed so it increases the chance of it coming to everywhere
Gotta say, this looks appealing. Please bring it over West. Please.
I just want the record to state that former NL editor @James_Newton aka @James, aka @Prosody HATES SSB.
"Sonic was the only redeming property of SSBB, and that was short lived" @James
I would imagine Pacman would make it into the game (as well as SSBU); he's Namco's mascot and one of the most famous characters in the world.
Oh, and if Barry Burton is announced, I will squeal like a schoolgirl.
@Knuckles Perhaps with the new direction the Smash series is being taken his opinion may change and I put heavy emphasis on the 'may' part.
So about that Project X Zone...
@Teejay His Direction+Special is pretty broken. B is for homing atttack, down B a controllable spin dash, Up B is trampoline. Direction B is just a pain.
@Knuckles I was editor, not news editor, thankyouverymuch :3
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!
