We've reviewed each of these titles in the past, so we'll briefly run through them again here.ĭON'T CRASH pits the player in an eternal game of chicken on an oval track. Each requires mastery of nothing but the A button, so all you need is one finger or an especially intelligent drinking bird to play. TAP TAP ARCADE pairs two of the simpler games in the RCMADIAX line: DON'T CRASH and SPIKEY WALLS. Unfortunately, the combination here doesn't really feel any greater than the sum of its parts. Even small things can come in smaller packages when bundled, which is the case with RCMADIAX's TAP TAP ARCADE. Perhaps Akuma as a guest character in Tekken 7 is as close as we'll get to seeing Tekken x Street Fighter.Package deals are always worth considering to save a bit of coin or reduce the footprint of buying everything separately. Similarly, Capcom is expected to be working on Street Fighter 6 as a follow-up to Street Fighter 5. What's next? Bandai Namco is expected to be working on Tekken 8 after the success of Tekken 7. Then, in 2019, Harada told VGC Tekken X Street Fighter had become "harder to justify" with Tekken 7 doing so well. "We don't want to split these communities, so a good window in which to release Tekken X Street Fighter is something that's become difficult recently. "But currently the situation is with fighting games, you have Street Fighter 5 that just released - a lot of people are playing that fervently - and there's a large crowd out there waiting for Tekken 7. "When we develop fighting games, we try to keep the core community in mind as well as the wider audience that wants to play these games," Harada told Gamespot at the time. Harada didn't go into why the game was cancelled, but in 2016 he said neither developer wanted to split the communities behind both franchises. Tekken X Street Fighter is officially dead. Harada then bemoans the "wasted concept art", saying: "We wanted to show it but the project died." "Dhalsim turned out as well as we expected, pretty good. We even had motions, which you can see reflected in Akuma. "Development stopped but we got about 30 percent done.

"We wish we could show you them eventually, but Street Fighter belongs to Capcom so we can't do it on our own. "We were working really hard on that," he said.

Harada, though, put the project to bed with his latest comments. It was meant to follow 2D fighting game Street Fighter X Tekken by mashing together characters from both series, this time in the 3D Tekken style.įans have considered the game cancelled for some time now, despite no official rubber stamp from Bandai Namco.

Tekken X Street Fighter was a much-hyped crossover fighting game in development at Bandai Namco in collaboration with Street Fighter maker Capcom. Watch on YouTube Eurogamer News Cast: who won E3 2021?

Speaking on his YouTube series Harada's Bar, Tekken development chief Katsuhiro Harada discussed the ill-fated project, which was announced 11 years ago in July 2010 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. ORIGINAL STORY 21ST JUNE 2021: Tekken X Street Fighter was "about 30 percent done" when it was cancelled. "For now, we are just waiting for the right opportunity." "However, such a title cannot be moved just for the convenience of one company in terms of marketing and branding, and it also affects each other's development resources. "We are still hopeful that TKxSF will resume development when the opportunity arises," Harada continues. "This is still the status of the project," Harada now says. So, the intended meaning is: "up to 30 percent of the development was in progress, but now it is still pending". Rather than being cancelled outright, Tekken x Street Fighter is in a "pending state," similar to "pause", Harada said in a tweet.
