Remember Namco X Capcom years ago, a strategy RPG that never made it outside of Japan?
Well now Namco, Capcom and Sega are making a new strategy RPG that'll probably never make it outside of Japan, for the Nintendo 3DS. (http://andriasang.com/con0lk/project_cross_zone_details/)
It has X and Zero so it's already off to a better start.
As long as they don't make the dialogue out of character like NXC, and ALL of the music is good, then we won't have another dairy challenge on our hands.
There are now Famitsu scans by the way. (http://nintendoeverything.com/86240/first-project-x-zone-scans/)
And in addition to those there's one of X and Zero doing moves from X4 (Twin Slasher and Zero's Web Spider attack respectively) in what may be Cyber Peacock's stage. (http://www.themmnetwork.com/2012/04/10/famitsu-reveals-the-secret-nintendo-3ds-collaboration-of-capcom-sega-and-bandai-namco/)
Supposedly there will be more incoming since all of them are only partial scans.
So that means we can look forward to no Axl, hopefully.
I wouldn't put it past Iris making a cameo though.
EDIT:

Demitri and Dante. Dante looks to be DMC1 base, but according to MC2, the background is from DMC3.
They could always throw her in as a boss though barring a recreation of WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOOOOOOOOOOOOOR with X standing around in the background I can't see why they wouldn't go for the Repliforce proper or Sigma instead.
As a side note the first link I posted stated all the characters being in teams, if they're all like that I doubt Axl is even a possibility barring them doing something weird like bringing back a Command Mission character.
More X and Zero screens. (http://www.rockmancorner.com/2012/04/mega-man-x-and-zero-playable-in-capcom.html) They were fighting a giant Met.
Famitsu's website now has all the screens in their article online and character renders. (http://www.famitsu.com/news/201204/12012868.html)
Anyone else notice that Demitri's gotten more saturated over the years?
The official website updated with some new screen shots, various Mega Man related ones you can see here. (http://www.rockmancorner.com/2012/05/familiar-mega-man-x-enemies-return-in.html) Cyber Peacock's stage is a level and the Ride Armor enemies from the first Mega Man X are enemies.
The game is being done by Monolith Soft, (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/05/16/xenoblade-chronicles-dev-monolith-soft-creating-project-x-zone/) who also did Namco X Capcom so not a big surprise there. Also the company that had to basically be bribed by Game Spot to localize Xenoblade a month or so ago.
John McClane from Die Hard Arcade makes it in. No, seriously. (http://pxz.channel.or.jp/entry/sega07.html)
Technically speaking that had a different name in Japan which is probably how they're getting away with it.
Still no word on a localization by the way.
Well that's a good boss choice. (http://www.themmnetwork.com/2012/08/29/more-screens-of-vile-in-project-x-zone/) Half expected Colonel with all the X4 references.
YES!
「PROJECT X ZONE（プロジェクト クロスゾーン）」第2弾PV (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3nQKML06Fk#ws)
DEVILOT
Also Jedah is back and voiced by Isshin Chiba, YES.
But did they have to fucking add Seth? I mean thank god it's not Vega for the umpteenth time, but fucking SETH?
Also, Morrigan for the 567th time and that skank Hsien-ko instead of Felicia? Dis. App. Oint. Ed.
Also wish I could go another lifetime without seeing Tron. Tired of her when Rock Volnutt needs more love.
Volnutt and X together might be a bit redundant. Especially since X has Tornado Fang so that'd kind of rule out the drill they always seem to give Volnutt.
This is worth a double post guess who's back from being dead. (http://www.rockmancorner.com/2012/09/iris-confirmed-for-project-x-zone.html)
[spoiler]If they don't reenact the WHAT AM I FIGHTING FOR scene I will be disappointed.
Now if only they'd bring back Double too.[/spoiler]
Also Astaroth from Ghost and Goblins is in it but that isn't all too surprising.
I fucking hate Aura from .hack. I mean I know she's central to the story, but she was basically the game coder's self-insert love-child with the author.
As long as she doesn't make the whole story be about her, I'll be fine. Blackrose needs more love though.

Was shown in that longass video, actually. I wish they'd move the fuck on, IRIS IS DEAD.
Well maybe PXZ will get a localization after all. (http://www.rockmancorner.com/2012/09/harada-wants-to-localize-project-x-zone.html) Maybe.
Because Harada is a cool guy.
You know, I just realized the downsides to crossovers in this fashion. I don't really get the chance to beat the everloving fuck out of people I don't like.
Well I'm pretty sure they teased Zabel being an enemy in it so at least you have that.
So this game IS getting a localization after all. (http://www.rockman-corner.com/2013/01/project-x-zone-coming-to-north-america.html)
