Street Fighter x Tekken! Tekken x Street Fighter? And 3rd Strike!
Announced at Comic-Con today, the highly rumored Street Fighter x Tekken game is now a reality. Street Fighter IV producer Yoshinori Ono and Katsuhiro Harada announced at a panel that they were indeed working on a crossover game, and they had some game play footage to go along with the announcement. Street Fighter x Tekken is a 2 vs 2 fighting game and looks to be running on something similar to the Street Fighter IV engine. The trailer shows Ryu squaring off against Kazuya in a series of fireballs, uppercuts, and EX moves, not long after Ryu and Kazuya tag in Chun-li and Nina Williams respectively. We’ll find out more in the coming months but Ono urged fans to “enjoy Marvel Vs Capcom 3 while you wait” so Im guessing we won’t see this game for another year.
Harada also went on to announce that Namco is developing their own crossover game which will be different, not much is known other than the title Tekken x Street Fighter. Also announced today was an online version of Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike, no word on release date or platform but Ono said he’s going to take his time and do it right. With all these fighting game announcements it’s looking like a great time to be a fighting game fan!
