Wouldn’t it be awesome if there were a game that featured all your fave character from assorted Namco Bandai, Capcom, and Sega franchises, going at it? Such a thing exists, but you’d better learn how to understand Japanese to give it a shot.

The game in question is called Project X Zone, and is actually the latest in a long line of crossover titles among numerous video game publishers in Japan (almost all of which us Americans would recognize, by the way). And each one features a wacky mix of fan favorites, all fighting alongside and/or amongst each other.

But as the trailer above demonstrates, it’s not an action game but a tactical RPG, which is not everyone’s thing, so that should lessen the blow for some.
