[center]The year is 20XX, and the game is driven by the characters Arisu Reigi and Xiaomu (original characters created for this game). The two of them work for a special unit called Shinra, and they are tasked with investigating spirit and otherworldly disturbances. They are initially investigating a strange "sleeping sickness" in the Shibuya area of Japan, when it becomes apparent that something much larger is at stake. Characters, both good and evil, from other times and other worlds, begin appearing in Japan.[/center]

[center][i]Namco X Capcom[/i] is a hybrid genre, combining strategy RPG grid-based movement with action RPG battles. The game features countless characters from Namco (before becoming Namco Bandai) and Capcom games.

[center]A sequel, [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_X_Zone"][i]Project X Zone[/i][/url], is actually releasing on October 11th for the 3DS. This time Sega's joining in.[/center]

[center]The game's fairly old, released for the PS2 in 2005, but I only just happened upon this little gem because it had never been released outside of Japan. A shame really, I might have to get an English rom for this or something. This just felt like something interesting that I wanted to share.[/center]
