At the San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday, Capcom announced their newest Versus series collaboration with Namco. Capcom will be developing Street Fighter X Tekken for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, while Namco will be creating Tekken X Street Fighter. This is not the first time Capcom has been involved in a similar situation: a previous collaboration with SNK resulted in Capcom creating Capcom vs SNK 1 & 2, while SNK released SNK vs Capcom: SVC Chaos.
Street Fighter X Tekken, Capcom’s side of the team-up, will be powered by the same engine used in Street Fighter IV and Super Street Fighter IV. Announced characters include Street Fighter’s Ryu and Chun-Li, and Tekken’s Kazuya Mishima and Nina Williams.
“This is history we're making. Two fighting games that have rivalled each other are finally standing on the same stage,” said Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono. “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.”
Never thought we'd see Ryu fighting this battle...

I saw the comic con footage and just the fact that they're in the same worlds was the most exciting part. The graphics look mediocre. The characters still have that bad skin texture that Street Fighter IV characters had along with zipper lines on their arms *gross*. The models also look way too big and steroid abuse like. But the gameplay looks cool. Seeing Kazuya get hit with a Shoryuken and windmilled by Chun Li and in return Ryu getting choked up by Nina just for Kazuya to hit him with a Lightning Corkscrew was just amazing. Needless to say; If namco attaches an Online Pass or Capcom an Always Online Connection to these games it will immediately be removed from my Buy List.
