measured success with Street Fighter X Tekken, it looks like SEGA are getting in on the action too. According to a report at Japanese blog

Shacknews), the details in this exclusive article from
Famitsu Project X Zone (pronounced Project Cross Zone) will be a Nintendo 3DS game featuring a menagerie of characters from all three publishers licenses to pair together for JRPG-style fights. Here are the reported character line-ups from each house:
