Intriguing...I'm hearing rumblings that Monolith Soft are developing this one, like with Namco x Capcom on the PS2. Now that they're a Nintendo first party we might even get a Mario cameo or something I've never played any of their Super Robot Taisen games, are they any good?

Yeah, i wrote a blog post on it when famitsu revealed it this morning. Going to have to wait another week yet before we get full details and how this thing will look. But we do know that the combat is done in pairs. Also, it is a Strategy RPG as well, which makes me think of stuff along the lines of Fire Emblem and so on. Will be interesting, but yeah, will have to wait till next week to see more.

Have to say, i do quite like some of the line up at the moment too, and that they don't all just fight generically, they do have their own styles and moves, With Ulala looking like more of a buff kind of character in some ways.

EDIT: Screens from famitsu for your viewing pleasure(clean ones from their site i believe)

Damn it, I was just about to post the better Famitsu pics.

Here they are on the official Famitsu website though, just so I don't feel left out.

Bit of a weak/predictable set of characters from Capcom, but I like the sound of the rest.

Why no Ryo Hazuki and Xiuying Hong, Sega, Why no Ryo Hazuki and xiuying hong ??

 

[Ryo Chan]

forget that, why no rosie from Valkyria or even Isara

 

[Castlevania]

x2 Virtua Fighter characters over Ryo? Lame.

Oh well, atleast I will have a reason to play the 3DS again.

I assume we're getting more characters as well, or some company decision makers seem to be taking it more seriously than others!

Demitri..? :s

When I finally get a 3DS-equivalent handheld in the future, this will likely go on the list.

Well Namco x Capcom had... some ridiculous number of characters, so it would be disappointing if we didn't end up with at least 15-20 from each.
