Capcom x Microsoft ?!?!?!
The following picture was posted earlier today on the Japanese Xbox web site [http://www.xbox.com/ja-JP/]. Could it be a new intellectual property? Capcom x Microsoft does remind people of Namco x Capcom, a 2D action-tactical-RPG Japanese game. It could also be a new 2.5D fighting game (like SFIV or Tatsunoko vs Capcom). Anyway, we’ll have to wait until Monday night (Tuesday morning in Japan) for the announcement.
La siguiente imagen fue publicada temprano el día de hoy en el sitio web de Xbox Japón [http://www.xbox.com/ja-JP/]. ¿Podría ser una nueva propiedad intelectual? Capcom x Microsoft le hace recordar a la gente de Namco x Capcom, un juego 2D de acción táctica RPG japonés. También podría ser un nuevo juego de lucha 2.5D (como SFIV o Tatsunoko vs Capcom). De todas formas, tendremos que esperar hasta la noche del lunes (martes por la mañana en Japón) para el anuncio.
