Remember the rumours about a possible Capcom / Namco crossover fighting game double pack, with characters from both blending into two different games produced by two studios?

Well, they were true – at Comic-Con just now both Capcom and Namco have announced their games: Street Fighter X Tekken and, yes, Tekken X Street Fighter.

On stage, Street Fighter series producer Yoshinori Ono confirmed that Capcom are working on the former, and Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada has given the official nod to the latter.

And to prove a point, a game was played live (using Capcom’s version) between Ryu and Jin Kazama.

The Street Fighter led game will be in 2D, the Tekken one making use, as you’d imagine, of three dimensions. Somewhere, people are very excited. There’s no date yet announced for the games.

Really intrigued what both versions of this look like.
I wonder if they will have different arenas, outfits and extras, that sort of thing?

I don’t really want to say which version I would buy without seeing and reading about them but I’m much better at Tekken than I am at Street Fighter so that would be the obvious way to go.

  Ah, who am I kidding? I don’t know anything about these kinds of games… Interesting combination though.
