Gamin' NEWS! Pac Man Vs. Mega Man!! It's on!!!


Here's the most epic news you'll heard concerning the upcoming Capcom title Street Fighter X Tekken...
...joining an already big epic cast of colorful characters of Namco and Capcom fighters (for some reason, mostly Final Fight on Capcom's side...!?), Ono added two surprise non-fighting guest to the roster in the form of....


Namco's own classic mascot Pac-Man will be joining the all-star ranks of Tekken fighters.

Like today's Namco company this bonus character will actually be a classic Pacman riding Tekken's own Mokujin (albeit giant). The perfect alliance of today's games and the classic Namco from the arcades. Namco today, still with their classic and modern fanbase in mind.

Here's some pics:



On the other hand, Capcom's own bonus character is...


Classic "Boxart Mega Man".
Which would be a nice addition usually...but look at the poor guy!

He's clearly out of shape, the costume totally busted...
Is that what they think the fans deserve? How they see the Mega Man fanboys?
Or better, just a joke? Considering how much fans were asking for some Mega Man content lately be it in the fighting games or just considering the way they threat Mega Man over the more popular franchises like Resident Evil or Street Fighter.
With 2 Mega Man games canceled lately, Mega Man Universe and Mega Man Legends 3, this is probably what Ono thinks of the blue bomber:



Bwahahaha :P
Honestly, I kinda love it!
I'm sure the Japanese audience will call him "USA Rockman" or sumthin'~

And you can be sure a more Classic Mega Man will be available as a DLC costume later on XD
For now only confirmed for PS3 (not Xbox 360... which kinda annoys me, but, meh, it's just a game so...~)
Here they are in motion, in the latest trailer:
