Talk about bad choices.
Except for Sakura and Oogami.

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

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 (http://viewtifuljoe.wikia.com/wiki/Movieland)

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

  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.

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.

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.

  A better pic:

 On a Bandai Namco news, they have cancelled that Dancing Eyes port for the PS3... too bad since I was looking for it -_-  Buying too many Bandai Namco games this year...

 For those wondering about the characters choices, Sega said about something related to "market strategies", since most of the characters are "new" and have games released recently. Also, I think its easier to use these characters since they have famous voice actors for them all in Japan. Yes, Akira and Pai are using the same voices actors since Virtua Fighter 2!

 On an interview, Bandai Namco producer said it was very dificult to decide who pick up from Shining series. They wanted someone from the "Force" series; since this game is for a Nintendo console, I thought they were picking up someone from Shining Force Feather, but they decided for Touma and Cyril...

 I'm glad they have not choose someone from the Shining games produced by Sawada ;ppppp but we know that Shining Force 3 for Saturn has voices for the characters too, so... why? WHY THE HELL Shining Force EXA??? -_-

 The only title on the Phantasy Star series that the main character has voice is Phantasy Star Universe, so I expect to see Ethan on the board soon... lol

 Looks like Sega does not want to spend their love for theirs oldest classic characters anymore. Oh, Ulala is bringing up some of them!! At least! Fantasy Zone, Space Harrier, Alien Storm!! What a choice!? What a weird combination!?  :P
