Namco Bandai has picked up a new trademark for Project X Zone in Japan. That sort has a crossover feel to it (especially since it’s pronounced as Project Cross Zone).

Could this be the title of Namco Bandai, SEGA, and Capcom’s 3DS crossover project?

Game Overview

In the Pokémon™ Conquest game, you take on the role of a young Warlord who is linked with a Pokémon. Together with your Pokémon, you must set out to recruit Warrior allies to strengthen your growing kingdom. Along your journey, you will encounter a variety of Pokémon, as well as Warriors and Warlords inspired by the Japanese feudal era which fans of the famous Nobunaga’s Ambition series of games will recognize. The game contains nearly 200 Pokémon, including many from the Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version games, which have sold more than 4 million copies combined in the U.S.

As the battlefield unfolds in Pokémon Conquest, you must choose the correct Pokémon type to inflict maximum damage on your opponent. The turn-based skirmishes, allow you to choose different tactics for intense 6-on-6 battles, and battle conditions can change on every turn, keeping you on your toes in anticipation of what will happen next.

Xenoblade Chronicles executive director Tetsuya Takahashi has commented on a few topics pertaining to his game.

First up, Takahashi briefly discussed how Xenoblade’s development scale compares to his previous work:

“There’s no doubt that the scale of this project was large compared to past projects.”

Takahashi next talked about some of the small changes made to the overseas version of Xenoblade Chronicles. The team fixed a few bugs, adjusted the game balance slightly, and modified small portions of the written content in the game.

“We made some minor bug adjustments and revised some of the written content for localization. There were also some places where we made minor adjustments to the game balance, but none of the changes resulted in significant differences from the original (Japanese) version.”

Finally, Takahashi said that Xenoblade Chronicles may have some Western-esque influences, but believes “it has also undeniably inherited the DNA of Japanese RPGs.”

“I like Western game design a lot, so there were places where I referred to it without thinking about it. Xenoblade is not just influenced by Western game design; it has also undeniably inherited the DNA of Japanese RPGs.”

Yesterday we learned that Kingdom Hearts 3D sold 213,579 units in Japan. That was the game’s first week sales.

As far as Kingdom Hearts 3D’s sell-through rate is concerned, it moved 64.2% of its stock. Although this is less than the percentage for 358/2 Days (which came in at 72.35% with 295,000 units sold), 3D had significantly less hardware to work with. 26.6 million DS systems were sold by the time 358/2 launched whereas only 5.5 million 3DS handhelds have made it into the hands of Japanese gamers thus far.

Kingdom Hearts 3D did surpass 358/2 Days in one area. 3D saw 150,000 pre-orders while 358/2 Days nabbed 90,000 back in 2009.

Thanks to 4Him for the tip!
