Tekken x Virtua Fighter? Could the continuies really mesh well together? I mean I dunno Tekken lore enough to know if it has Judgement 6 or so.

It could be happened, but one of the franchise's playstyle control has to be modified.
Just like Street Fighter x Tekken.

Won't be so bad if both were modified to meet down the middle.

Limited Run Games releasing an English package version of the SEGA Astro City Mini



Quote
The Limited Run version of the SEGA Astro City Mini will only be limited to 3,500 units, which will probably make this version sought after in the collectors market compared to the regular Japanese version.
As far as I know, the SEGA Astro City Mini unit included inside the English packaging is exactly the same as the Japanese retail unit.

Unless fighting game crossovers are exclusive to Fighters Megamix.

'You can't make a new fighting game for $10 million'
Difficulties in the modern landscape of fighting game development described by Katsuhiro Harada




Quote
"If you invest a billion yen ($9-10 million USD), you'll have to sell 1 million games," said Harada.
"The current game industry is a business that requires 2 million sales if it invests 2 billion yen ($18-20 million).
You can't make a new game entry with a 1 billion yen development budget to be frank with you.
There's probably no fighting game that can be made for 1 billion yen."
