We’ve known for a while that Kuro and Toro, the Sony cat mascots, would find their way into Street Fighter X Tekken. Also, Cole McGrath from inFamous. The inclusion of classic (i.e. shitty) box art Mega Man and Pac-Man also weren’t much of a mystery, but their appearance is confirmed in this video, along with the full terms of their inclusion in the Capcom/Namco fighting team-up.
All these characters will naturally be exclusive fighters for the game’s PS3 and PS Vita versions. Pac-Man, as you can see, sits atop some kind of mecha-suit, and Mega Man, well, lets just say he looks well past his fighting prime in 1987. At least the costume still fits.
Street Fighter X Tekken arrives March 6 in North America, March 8 in Japan and March 9 in Europe.

Also, I love the mega-man chosen. I reckon he’s amazing!

Friday, January 27, 2012 at 10:53 PMall of a sudden a whole lot less interested in this game… Capcom vs bandai…

Friday, January 27, 2012 at 11:33 PMbecause they have one character from each side that isn’t a street fighter or tekken character? technically it hasn’t really been fully “street fighter” characters, as Poison, hugo and Rolento were orignally Final Fight characters, and hugo only appeared in SF3…
get the 360 version if you are so appaled with the additions…

Saturday, January 28, 2012 at 12:30 AMI’m not the only person who’d prefer Capcom vs Namco Bandai. I find most Street Fighter characters to be uninteresting, and honestly, Phoenix Wright, Wesker and Arthur got far more plays from me that C Viper, Haggar and Ryu in UMvC3.
And then, y’know, there’s what Grandmaster B-Funk said. :P

(It’s ‘further’, because you are represented by the ESA, who wanted to attack our freedom of speech. Think on that.)

Saturday, January 28, 2012 at 4:37 AMWhat a sad excuse.. Adding two unrelated characters just to get people to buy this shit..
Typical Crapcom..

Saturday, January 28, 2012 at 5:26 PMPeople were disappointed that MM and PM weren’t in the game after the first trailer sort of teased that they would be. So I hardly think they’re unrelated.
