Namco Bandai has announced a surprising localization today: Project X Zone. The Capcom, SEGA, and Namco Bandai mashup 3DS title is coming to North America and Europe this summer.

You can probably thank Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada for Project X Zone’s arrival overseas. In September, Harada said he was pushing hard for localization.

We’ve posted the official announcement below.

Straight from the creator’s mouth, Bertil Hörberg has confirmed that Gunman Clive’s 3DS eShop release has outsold the iOS version.

Gunman Clive launched on iOS back in April. The 3DS version, on the other hand, has been out on the European eShop for only a month and the North American store for just two and a half weeks.

For now, the Android release remains the best-selling version. But most sales on the platform sales stem from a featured promotion which has since ended, and the 3DS edition is still a very new game on the eShop.

There’s more talk about Gunman’s Clive’s sales here.
