Capcom announces Street Fighter X Tekken
What a banner weekend for Capcom, eh? They’re just making all kinds of announcements. Introducing Street Fighter X Tekken, the Street Fighter vs. Tekken mash up debuting on the XBOX 360 and PS3. Producer Yoshinori Ono, who was among those making the announcement at Capcom, said:
“This is history we’re making. Two fighting games that have rivalled each other are finally standing on the same stage. This isn’t just a showdown between Tekken and Street Fighter, but a decisive battle for Capcom and Namco Bandai Games. So I’m going to give it my all.”
This doesn’t come as entirely a surprise, as it was rumored that Capcom would be revealing two fighter games, one of which was thought to be a 2.5D Capcom vs. Namco game using the Street Fighter IV engine. So I guess we can consider that “confirmed”. And the other, a 3D Namco vs. Capcom fighting game using the Tekken 6 engine, is likely Tekken X Street Fighter, Namco’s version of the game, that was mentioned briefly during the Street Fighter X Tekken panel at Comic Con.
Street Fighter X Tekken is not due “for awhile” according to Capcom, so get your fix now with the trailer above and our gallery of screen shots and character art below.
