Did you read this right? For all fighting game enthusiasts, if you thought Marvel vs Capcom and SNK versus Capcom is enough to get you excited before its release, now you have this to drool about. By the way, it's not only STREET FIGHTER X TEKKEN but also TEKKEN X STREET FIGHTER. Why two titles you ask? Street Fighter X Tekken will be made by Capcom presumably with game play and moves on a Street Fighter environment while Tekken X Street Fighter will be made by Namco with game play and moves in a Tekken environment. How fans of both titles would accept these is out of the question since both would be just awesome.
Fate/Stay Night is a visual novel by Type-Moon and has made successful transitions from visual novel to manga to anime to video games to film. On its first release on January 30, 2004, Fate/Stay Night immediately became a hit becoming one of the most popular visual novels in history and was given the title of "highest selling visual novel of 2004." The game follows the story of Shiro Emiya, a normal high school student with a not-so-normal ability of sorcery but is still considered as the lowest level of sorcery. After he witnesses a battle between two servants in his school at night, he is tracked down by one of the servants and tries to finish him off but he inadvertently summons a servant of his own, Saber, and is sucked into battle with more servants and masters in the holy grail war. The game play is typical for a visual novel with players given routes to choose from to progress in the game and unlock multiple endings, video and picture galleries. A sequel to this visual novel was released with the title Fate/Hollow Ataraxia.
Fate/Hollow Ataraxia is a visual novel game created by Type-Moon released on 2005 as a sequel to their Fate/Stay Night visual novel. The game is set shortly after the end of the 5th holy grail war from Fate/Stay Night and introduces new characters into the mix. It starts with Bazett Fraga McRemitz, a member of the Mages' Association and is a master in the 5th holy grail war. She was mentioned briefly in Fate/Stay Night as the real master of Lancer but she was betrayed and killed by Kirei. She then awakes in Fate/Hollow Ataraxia on the fourth day of the holy grail war without any memory of what happened before and now with a new servant in Avenger. They set out to win the holy grail war but find themselves dying most of the time. But with some stroke of luck, Avenger has the ability of resurrection, although he is very weak in terms of strength and ability and appears could only take on a mere human with minimum fighting skills. Meanwhile in another time, six months after the end of the holy grail war, Shiro is living a peaceful life but this time, most of the servants and masters are still present with the exception of Kirei, who died in Fate/Stay Night. Rin Tohsaka is also away after one of her experiments changes time and space. She went to the Mages' Association in England to fix things. All the servants sense that the holy grail war has somehow restarted but the servants doesn't seem to have the urge to fight yet. Because of this, Shiro goes on patrol every night as a precaution but instead frequently meets a mysterious girl, Caren Ortensia. Locked in an eternal loop that lasts four days, Shiro and Bazett tries to discover the truth behind their predicament.
