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 before it'll blend a diverse mix of IPs, with familiar characters returning from the first game and a few surprises promised - Monolith Soft, currently much hyped for Xenoblade Chronicles X on Wii U, will once again be trying to apply RPG sanity to the ambitious concept.
If this is a game you're keen to play, or just enjoy gawking at the lovely pixel art in the visuals, there are a whole load of screenshots to enjoy. For this writer it's the Resident Evil screens that are pushing the most buttons - Leon with that rocket launcher is a highlight.
Check them out and let us know what you think; this sequel is due worldwide in Autumn / Fall.

Keep in mind that the team doing this game is not the same as the one doing XCX.
Leon is a solo unit. Heck yeah.
I keep throwing money at the screen but nothing happens!
Why do they keep pushing Yuri and Flynn into this? It'd make more sense if it was Lloyd and Genis or Lloyd and Zelos. Heck, maybe Shing and Kohak are better choices but Yuri and Flynn? But eh, it has Dante and Vergil, DMC never made it to Nintendo consoles anyway (shrug)
I'm hoping Nintendo finally lets their franchises crossover to this. Would be glad to see Link and Zelda, Fox and Krystal/Falco, Samus and Captain Falcon, Ness and Lucas, Robin and Chrom heck Mario and Luigi interacting with X and the crew with dialogue for once.
Is that...Jin?! From Tekken 3?!
So after having played ProjectXZone 1, I can't help but notice that a lot of the teams here have been changed, with virtually all female characters being replaced with male ones. Instead of Xiaoyu we now have Kazuya joining Jin, and the same happened in the 'Tales of' team. I hope they haven't changed the Frank/Hsien-Ko team, I loved the absurdity of that.
I do like the new Dante/Vergil team though, makes a lot more sense than Dante/Demitri. Overall still looking forward to seeing what new characters get introduced in this game, and hoping that they will include some way to grind experience.
RPG? You have me interested
Still no sign of SF characters.... Going to be royally pissed if Sony has blocked them. It would effectively cancel any more cross over games. This would be the end if the Nintendo vs Capcom idea that both sides have been warming up to
Didn't care much for the demo I played of the first game, so I doubt I'll have any interest in this.
Anyone care to educate me? Im interested, but so lost.
Love the screens. If only it wasn't a strategy RPG. That said, I'll pass.
I seriously need to get back into the first one and finish it. This sequel is looking really promising.
Hm, none of the new characters really interest me so far. Hopefully that's going to change, even if I won't get it either way.
@abe_hikura Sony only owns publishing rights to Street Fighter V, not the Street Fighter IP in general. Street Fighter games and characters could still be made for other platform/game if Capcom so choose to allow it. This is just early screenshots, more characters will be reveal once the game gets closer to its release date.
This should be fun, but a very male-centric cast so far. Then again, there will be so many playable characters... I guess I'll wait and see.
Im just so in love with these sprites....sigh
I just hope for a proper, timely EU release.
@retro_player_22 They only own some limited rights. (It is still coming to PC and will almost certainly have an Arcade version).
The original is a great game but I was never able to get past chapter 16 and those golden goblins...I couldn't catch up with all of them. Maybe I should try again as it's been a while.
A lot of these new teams and old characters with a new partners seem to be guys paired with guys. I hope they don't have less female characters this time around.
@crzysortagamer It's a Tactial RPG but attacking the enemy is based on tapping the control pad. I recommend playing a demo on the eShop a couple of times to get an idea on how this works. Just be prepare to get confused for a bit before you get a actual grip with this.
It's a bit of a learning curve at first, but it becomes insanely addicting after that. I sank 72 hours into the original and I cannot WAIT for the sequel!
Virgil>Dante, just saying.
man i wasnt going to bother with this one cause i never finished the first one, though i did enjoy playing about half ot it, but its got zero and strider? its foolish of me but im tempted.
good to see some Shinobi representation...but where is Joe?
@abe_hikura They were in the reveal trailer though.
@JPtheNintendoFan it is doable. Just use speed enhanced moves to catch them. The journalist guy is rhe best one to use. Good luck
Kazuya and Jin in the same team? That's...interesting...
@stanleecroup thanks for the tip! I'll try it out and hopefully move on.
@SamirMalik was they? i didnt see them
Eh. I just wish this was a fighting game instead. Such a huge crossover would get so much community love and international tournaments.
@retro_player_22 I'm hoping thats the case. i was worried that Sonys deal stretched further than we thought
Man, I need this! Can't wait!
Shucks! I wasn't interested in part 2 but after seeing the screenshots I'm interested now. Haha.
I'm thinking about revving the first one up again, maybe, hopefully.........:Y
Still hoping for Ristar to be in the game!
@Captain_Toad sweet! Thanks
To everyone requesting Sonic, Pac-Man or etc: They said that they wanted to use humanoid characters only.
I'm glad to see that Dante has Vergil as a partner now, but I'm hoping that Demitri didn't completely get the boot. Maybe they'll pair him up with Morrigan and Chun-Li will have a new partner, maybe Cammy!
And I'm glad that Yuri is back, but I'm disappointed that they cut Estelle in favor of Flynn.
@abe_hikura Take a 2nd look

Too stoked, those screenshots are a thing of beauty.
Bring Sonic and Shadow units please. They would be sick as a team!
Can I just have a new Mega Man game? Please?
Pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaasssseeee
@SamirMalik think i must be having a stroke because i didn't see them i saw Akira from Virtua Fighter, I saw Kazuya and Jin from Tekken but no Ryu, Ken, Chun-li or anybody
Kiryu Kazuma!!! Sold!
Glad to see that Hotsuma and Kage-Maru made the cut. The former is actually kinda surprising.
