Talk about bad choices.

[Kori-Maru]

Talk about bad choices.

Except for Sakura and Oogami.

[Pao]

Seems like this game is aimed for the Japanese market, so these character choices make sense.

[SOUP]

Sounds like a fun time :D.
I just really hope it gets localized.

Great images! I'll update the main page article. :D

Question: See that planet in the sky in this pic? Is that Sonic CD's little planet chained to earth? Or is it something from another game?

I love SRPGs and I love classic Sega, Namco, and Capcom characters. So far, this is looking pretty good to me. I just hope it comes out here and brings some more characters into the spotlight.

I can't really tell just by looking at it, it's too distant and obscured because of that. Can't rule out that possibility. Another thing about that picture that stands out to me is it's blending in developers! Movieland is a Viewtiful Joe thing, while Les Chattes Noires appears to be from Sakura Wars 3 and 4, though I'm unfamiliar with the Sakura Wars franchise. Trippy!

In any case, I am hyped for this game. I'm sort of nervous to see what the gameplay looks like, but I'm optimistic.

EDIT: It appears that particular design of Movieland is featured in DeadRising...hmm

DeadRising's MovieLand at the bottom

I see Movie land! Viewtiful Joe baby.

[Chaosmaster8753]

If Dante and Dimitri are teaming up, I'm curious about why they are.

[STORM!]

　 On the pic you can see clearly the interior of that vehicle/ headquarter from Shining Force Exa, the theater from Sakura Taisen 3 and on the right side, not sure, but looks like a lot with the theater from Sakura Taisen 1. On the sky I think is that thing from Tales of series...

 The first trailer is supposed to be unveiled this week, 17.

[Barry the Nomad]

Shame this game doesn't have a better name. If it were to come to the West, that would be the FIRST thing they'd have to change. CAPCOM X SEGA X NAMCO is even a better name, as boring as it is.

[MadeManG74]

I would say that I hope this leads to Capcom vs Sega but at this point I dont trust either company to make it good, especially after SFxT and Sonic Racing. Maybe if AM2 handled it, but sega would probably palm it off to someone else.

The website has had its "Grand Open!" Complete with theme music, character bios, voice clips, the occasional VA interview...and no trailer.  Still pretty cool though.
