The Wrestlegamer Show

At the San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday, Capcom announced their newest Versus series collaboration with Namco. Capcom will be developing Street Fighter X Tekken for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, while Namco will be creating Tekken X Street Fighter. This is not the first time Capcom has been involved in a similar situation: a previous collaboration with SNK resulted in Capcom creating Capcom vs SNK 1 & 2, while SNK released SNK vs Capcom: SVC Chaos.

Street Fighter X Tekken, Capcom’s side of the team-up, will be powered by the same engine used in Street Fighter IV and Super Street Fighter IV. Announced characters include Street Fighter’s Ryu and Chun-Li, and Tekken’s Kazuya Mishima and Nina Williams.

“This is history we're making. Two fighting games that have rivalled each other are finally standing on the same stage,” said Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono. “This isn't just a showdown between Tekken and Street Fighter, but a decisive battle for Capcom and Namco Bandai Games. So I'm going to give it my all.”
