Well, it seems that despite my belief that the 2D fighting game teaser site that Capcom posted online early this month was not a teaser for the rumored Arc System Works/Capcom collaboration based on Sengoku Basara X, the latest Famitsu just goes to show how wrong I was. Though the teaser site has not been updated with the information revealing the game yet, I was provided a scan of this week's Famitsu magazine which has a write up on the new project including the first screen shots of Sengoku Basara X in action.A total of 10 characters were revealed in the magazine, including fan favorites Sanada Yukimura and Oda Nobunga. I'm working on translating parts of the scan, but I can clearly see that the PS2 and Wii are mentioned (but haven't worked out the context yet since that portion of the scan is incredibly blurried). I know that the game was rumored to be hitting arcades sometime this winter, but I'm having a hard time making it all out through the quality of the scans themselves. From my understanding the game should be released on the Taito Type X2 system.
As a side note, if anyone has a high quality scan, I would love to take a look at it so I can try my hand at working through some more of the details since the one I have is a bit shoddy.
From the scans so far, the game reminds me quite a bit of the recently released Hokuto No Ken game developed by Arc System Works. It will be interesting to see what happens with a game that blends two of the most widely known 2D fighting game developers and throws them onto a single project. It looks promising so far, but we still have a ways to go for development before we finally get a chance to take a crack at the game.
I'll be posting a copy of the scan this evening.
*UPDATE* - One of my favorite spots on the web Insert Credit, has posted up a copy of the 2chan scans released earlier today. You can find the scans here. I've also posted a smaller version above.
Also, Am-net's game watch page on Sengoku Basara X can be found here for those wanting to track any information about the arcade version of this game online.
