Via IGN comes a bit of awesome news. The very-Japanese-there-is-no-way-it-is-coming-West game Project X Zone is in fact slated to release in North America, Latin America, Europe and Australia this summer! For those not in the know, Project X Zone is a SEGA, Namco-Bandai, Capcom crossover tactical RPG game featuring 200 characters from over 29 different franchises. SEGA fans who have been following the Japanese release of the game have spotted a number of SEGA all-stars including Ulala from Space Channel 5, Sakura Shinguji from Sakura Taisen and Bruno Delinger from Dynamite Deka (the full roster can be seen here). No other information, such as publisher or a possible title change, has been given, but once we learn more we’ll be sure to share it!
Thanks to SEGAbits forum member CrazyTails for the heads up!

Looks like this is what pushes me over the ledge on finally getting a 3DS. The Sonic games got me to the cliff indeed.
AWWWWWWW YEAAAH!!!! Gemini Sunrise returns!!!!
The Sega roaster is useless. Aside from Akira & Pai, i’ve never even heard of the other characters.
The linked complete list doesn’t mention Ulala or Dynamite Dekka characters even though they can be seen in the poster.
Keep scrolling down, there is a solo list and an enemy list.
English sub only… They should add Sonic and Pac-Man in US/EU versions to sell more units. Would be cool.
Yeah, I imagine it would be beneficial for them to include some more characters and franchises more well known to the west, like Sonic. At the moment the roster is VERY Japanese market centric, featuring franchises that are big there but virtually unknown here, especially in regards to SEGA. Heck, a few of these games, like the orginal Sakura Wars and Valkyria Chronicles 3, were never even localized XD
Amazing! A SRPG? Characters from Valkyria Chronicles, Resonance of Fate and the Shining series? Love it!
