This epic crossover title brings together the fiercest and most popular legacy characters from NAMCO BANDAI, SEGA®, and Capcom's most beloved franchises to create a Strategy-RPG experience that can only be described as the ultimate cross-over title.

That is a lot of guns. I approve.

With the news that Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada is currently working to bring the dream of a localization of Project X Zone ever closer to reality, it seems that the time to start really getting excited about the game is now. And I can think of no better way to achieve such then by viewing the fully animated opening of the game many of us are so feverishly waiting to hear the good word about. And what an opening: more familiar characters than you can shake a stick at all engaging in a variety of over-the-top actions. It a perfect anime-style opening in other words and you should feel free to Check it out below:

Project X Zone is currently due out in Japan on October 11 for 3DS. Let us all keep our fingers crossed in regards to the English localization of the game. Though an added flurry of social media posts regarding the game could not hurt either. Stay tuned to Blistered Thumbs for continuing coverage of the game and be sure to share your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.

    In the words of Ladd Russo, “GUNS!? I LOVE GUNS!”

    ….. Wait, those are all the characters in the game? That means that, despite SEGA’s involvement, there will be NO Sonic? Profound. Sadness.

    You see Compile Heart, this is how you make a crossover game.

    If this game get’s an NA release and no European release I will cry. I need my Sakura fix. And my Yuri Lowell fix. And my precious Kos-mos and T-elos fix. Also Mega Man fix. And…
    So in other words, I need this game in my life.

    The opening was nice.

    *Coughs and holds chest*

    Woah. Excuse me. A guy can only take so much awesome in one sitting.

    I really enjoy the stylized art in this opening, and I think that it manages to do all the characters justice from their original designs while at the same time actually making them look like it would make sense for them all to be standing side by side like this, much like how they handled NxC.

    There are a few ommissions to the roster that make me tilt my head a bit. The lack of Klonoa or Pacman from capcom for instance. But hey, maybe that’s just me. It’s more of a personal observation than anything else, and I’m still as excited as ever for this game.

      Well, the intro is by Hiroyuki Imaishi. Yes, the (now ex-) Gainax Imaishi. The Gurren Lagann, FLCL, Panty and Stocking Imaishi. Of course it looks awesome.

      small correction here: Klonoa and Pacman are NAMCO not CAPCOM. *cough*

    Holy crap that Obari-style giant robot guy at the end.

    The song starts like a Nanoha opening, but develops in a different direction. Kinda retro’ish sounding. It’s pretty cool, but I like NxC’s Brave New World more.
