Famitsu has finally lifted the lid on the upcoming 3DS collaboration project between Sega, Capcom and Namco Bandai as Project X Zone (pronounced Project Cross Zone).

According to Andriasang, Project X Zone is a strategy RPG featuring characters from all three developers who will pair up for fighting scenes.

These are the current characters pairings:

From Sega:
– Shinguji Sakura and Ogami Ichiro (Sakura Wars)

– Sanger Somvold (Super Robot Wars)
– Jin and Ling Xiaoyu (Tekken)
– Kos-Mos and T-elos (Xenosaga)
– Yurie and Estel (Tales of Vesperia)
– Kaito and Black Rose (.hack)

If that doesn’t whet your appetite, it’s also been confirmed that there will be more characters revealed very soon, with the first gameplay trailer coming later this month. Project X Zone is currently slated for release later this year.

No Wii U dev kit for Suda 51 yet…

Suda 51, our favourite off-the-wall developer and creator of No More Heroes, apparently hasn’t been given a Wii U development kit yet. Speaking to Nintendo Life at PAX East this past weekend, Suda also revealed that he may not even work on Wii U. When asked if it was something he was looking to get hold of, he replied:

“It’s hard to say. Maybe, maybe not. It’s really depending on publishers. We are developers, so it’s up to a publisher.”

Come on, Nintendo! Get those dev kits out!
