Namco X Capcom
Tuesday, Mar. 8 2005 | Author: reia
Namco X Capcom is a turn based RPG that features 200+ characters from both companies like Ryu, Jin, Arthur, and KOS-MOS. I don’t know about the system, but the game was originally meant to be a Namco all stars RPG to celebrate the company’s 50th anniversary. The game will also have an anime intro made by Production IG.
Sounds like serious fun to me. And how can you resist a game with our beloved Capcom characters in an RPG setting from the creators of Xenosaga? And with anime sequences by Production IG (same people who did the Kill Bill anime sequence)! It’s set for Japanese release in May 6. I hope North America isn’t being an ass and looking this game over.
Thanks, Delurio, for the heads-up. Screenshots found here.

5Namco has made superb games recently and Capcom has too. I believe this game will be awesome and if anyone doubts it, go play games like Resident Evil 4 or Xenosaga. Keep an eye out for this one; I’m sure RPG fans, Namco/Capcom/both fans, and the fighting game genre fans will love it.

August 18th, 2005 at 6:27 pm
17I bet a lot of Namco and Capcom fans would be dissapointed if this game wasn’t broughht to the U.S. so HOPEFULLY they might consider sending it so we might be able to enjoy this new RPG.

18Bring it to the UK. If you don’t don’t bother releasing any other game over here ok.
September 12th, 2005 at 6:09 am
19this game reaaaaaaaaaalllllllyyyyy SUCKS ya know if ya dont do a damn thing about its language! so a simple advice to you producers is get your butts on translating this game into US version! got it!? you call yourselves producers???? if you had realesed it to japan why make it more considerable and make it into english instead of japanese huh??? the reason is just that you are in japan am i right??? so you made it japanese ver. oh cool! now i wont be able to understand a single line in this game!! (except from mission start and mission accomplished w/c is said by cammy’s agents!) DONT BE SELFISH AND GO MAKE THIS GAME ENGLISH VER. OK?
September 14th, 2005 at 10:30 pm

September 16th, 2005 at 10:15 pm

22This game needs to come out now
September 21st, 2005 at 10:30 pm
23Please please please please please release this in America because I no longer want this game I need this game!!!!!!!
October 12th, 2005 at 10:58 am
24I really like this game…..I…..I haven’t seen a game like this in awhile! I’m 16 and I make my life about games, and I don’t know if this will ever leave me. It’s Japanese right now and I want to buy it, and I’ve never imported, not even thought about it! This game drives me to itself, the magnetisim this game has over me is phenomenal, I can’t resist, this game could very well be a LEGEND, it’s driving me to bring over really bad. I’ve always been patient about games…but this…..it’s too much…I want this game, I NEED this game! It’s too great to pass up, and I honestly lost hope in games for a sec, but this one opened my eyes…Final Fantasy 7, your crown has been taken……

25theres a big market for tactical RPGs. One with your favorite namco and capcom characters since the 80s would be an instant hit. its a real pity that such a game isnt considered for US release.
October 16th, 2005 at 12:17 pm
26It truly is a shame these companies are denying Europe and the Americas the chance to play this game. By the looks of things it could be one of my fav games of all time and i’m generally an ‘old school’ player.
December 22nd, 2005 at 10:32 am
27It’s gonna be difficult (but not impossible) to port this game here in the US ‘coz there would have to be some sort of agreement between the 2 US companies and most of the characters are from games not even released here. I have been playing the import version and it rocks. Jin with Ken and Ryu is unstoppable.
December 22nd, 2005 at 5:29 pm
28Have you guys seen how Dig Dug looks like?
HE LOOKS F***ING AWSOME!!!
January 2nd, 2006 at 1:17 pm
29i cant think of a capcom vs game that didnt come out in the u.s./europe. dont let this be the first.
February 2nd, 2006 at 8:17 am
30i’ve been tracking namco x capcom for a while and although i was really hoping that it would come out here i didn’t but don’t lose hope ive seen petitions like this before for zoids and guess what…… it came to the states so i ask, very nicly please let this come out and if they could make a psp version too that would be awsome
February 13th, 2006 at 2:28 am
31I would love playing Namco X Capcom because it contains so many nostalgic characters not to mention that it looks like an great combination of strategy and action, something that most current US strategy RPGs lack.
February 16th, 2006 at 4:49 pm
32the strider Hiryu is the best, stupids
February 18th, 2006 at 2:18 pm
33i agree rpg fans everywere stand behind this one and demand it be brought over.
capcom ryu ken coolk.me im more about namco and more stoked about the apearence of tekken characters more then anything.ive been tracking this game for like a year got the musical soundtrack,so i thought it was already out in japan.anyway hurry up!
March 3rd, 2006 at 6:10 am
34Ohhhhh yeah i like this game better then the other games you must release this game in US vision all the fans people like it Ryu,Jin,Ken and Sakura are the best!
March 5th, 2006 at 8:49 am
35Ahhh man you must bring this game now in europe and if you can’t bring in the game because you need a voice translater in engish then just keep the Japanese voice on but have engish subtitle and word on it…So come on I’m begging to bring in this game… not only that this game is better then kingdom heart 2 and disgaea 2.
March 18th, 2006 at 5:39 pm
36please bring this game here! there are so many things that must be missed, due to the fact of Japanesese only releases…please try to break the chain of continuing japanese only releases on great game concepts such as this..
March 31st, 2006 at 3:17 pm
37america sucks..
this country always trys to look over great import games such as this one
March 31st, 2006 at 3:19 pm
38i wonder if some onimusha charcters will appear in this game
jin kazama sucks!
May 29th, 2006 at 2:12 am
39Funny, almost everyone is just dying to play this game. Now I want to play it not to mention all the characters you see for the first time or characters from back then. Just so many of them and the combination of teams you can make. All the talking and different story background and multiple endings. I really want to fight with KOS-MOS but sadly it is still not coming to America for a while or maybe not at all.
June 20th, 2006 at 10:04 pm
40oh well, at least i have the mp3 of the main theme LOL, U ALL SUCK!!!!!!
I HAVE SOMETHING THAT NO ONE ELSE HAS!! LOL
July 12th, 2006 at 7:42 am
41So do I
October 6th, 2006 at 6:00 pm
42Anything with Klonoa in it MUST be good!
October 24th, 2006 at 4:04 am
43I agree, those charcters bellong to fight together. This game kicks, I remember seeing half a preveiw on it last year and I missed the name and everything, so I decided to look it up…..a year later >.>
October 28th, 2006 at 8:08 am
44I really do hope they consider bringing this to the US. Whoever made the decision that it might not sell was terribly wrong. I know the cultist of Namco & Capcom games will pick this up in a heartbeat. On top of everything, the only thing that they really have to do is the voice overs and also the written language. It’s a damn shame that Americans (as a whole) are so lazy. But I mean, one day we will see this, but it’s going to be WAYYY too late because everyone will have already played it in Japanese. Who knows, maybe there will be a PSP release. It is still a VERY new system.
November 14th, 2006 at 12:23 pm
45bring game to america or end of world cuz snake kill you with nuke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
