Street Fighter X Tekken

No Pac-Man or Mega Man For Street Fighter X Tekken on 360
Written Friday, January 27, 2012 By Richard Walker
View author's profile

Some might be relieved, some might be incensed, but either way Xbox 360 players won't be getting Pac-Man or Mega Man in Street Fighter X Tekken anytime soon. Today, both characters have been confirmed as PlayStation 3 exclusives, despite being wholly owned by Namco Bandai and Capcom respectively. Colour us confused.

Speaking to SFxTK Producer Yoshinori Ono this week, we found out that attempts had been made to bring Xbox 360-exclusive characters to the game, but it was simply not to be. However, we still thought that Capcom and Namco's mascots might have made the cut, since they have nothing to do with Microsoft or the Xbox brand. It's clear that Sony has probably forked out for exclusivity rights, and there's likely nothing more to it than that.

It's still a slightly bitter pill to swallow though, when the PS3 version of Street Fighter X Tekken will have an additional five characters over its Xbox 360 counterpart, especially when the best two are a well past his prime 80s box art Mega Man and a mischievous Pac-Man riding Tekken's Mokujin. We're hoping that these are merely timed exclusives that'll eventually be added to the 360 version as (hopefully, but improbably free) DLC, but for now we can tell ourselves that we'll be getting the purer version of SFxTK, minus the silly characters.

Street Fighter X Tekken is out on March 6th in North America and March 9th in Europe.

Has mega man been taking performance enhancing drugs???

I play all my fighting games on the PS3 anyway, the D-pad is just so much more precise than the xbox's.

TBH i'm glad in a way that xbox doesn't have any exclusive characters, it means i have'nt got to buy the same game on both platforms to experience all it's fighters.

Pac man is controlling that Mokujin (sorry if not spelt right) from tekken 3, maybe that means he will be a character with a random move set.

I would much prefer if he ate the characters TBH.

MMM Kush. I half expect some Adamantium claws to sprout from Mega Mans hands. Looks rough and gruff. At least 360 still gets some exclusives. I remember last-gen PS2 had almost every last bit of exclusivity on extra content (for 3rd party). Not always but mostly.

I just want to play as a Street Fighter or a Tekken fighter. If I wanted to play pussycats, fat robo-men, a smiley over half mokujin and an electric guy I know nothing about, I'd go and play MvC3.

Even if we got them on the 360 version, it'd piss me off fighting online versus these crappy things.

So basically Mega Man 1 got fat between games. They brought in the new Blue Bomber for Mega Man 2 because the original couldn't drop the pounds fast enough. This left him devastated and depressed....until now! All the year's of seething rage will be unleashed on his opponents. If he doesn't get winded first that is. Ha. I love it I love it a lot.

@#26 He's not technically a robot. Mega Man is a Cyborg which is usually 1/2 human and 1/2 machine. At the least it's cyborgs are biomechanical. Rush is an android though. I believe most if not all of Wily's creations are robotic. Not sure if the X series is canon but it had shown Mega Man bleeding and Zero getting ripped/crushed (cannot remember) in half to a bloody stump.

You know, I've actually considered getting this game, as I like both Tekken and Street Fighter and have grown up with them. When I saw the Pac-Man&Mega Man trailer for this game, I thought it looks ridiculous. I probably would've never touched those characters anyway even if they were on the X360 copy of the game as well. However, seeing how many exclusives the PS3 copy already has , I'm pissed that even those 2 stupid, disgraceful character are PS3 exclusive. That's it, I'm done, I'm not going to get this stupid game.

The exclusives PS3 are getting (this and Mt. Fuji on SSX) are much more appealing than the one month period Microsoft gets COD maps for.

3rd party exclusives need to be improved as far as DLC and bonus content are concerned on Xbox 360.

I own both systems but have always leaned to 360.

@20 Was that supposed to be insulting to MvC3? I guarantee that is a far better fighting game than SFxTK will ever be. To be honest Im surprised people even still give a shit about Tekken as a franchise. I love Capcom and I love fighting games but I will not be getting this game simply because I dont give a shit about Tekken or any of its characters. Id rather play MKvDC.

Side Note: To Arron114, maybe you should "read the comments" that you keep posting to "read the article." Theyre just personal observations not legitimate misunderstandings of why MegaMan looks like a sad sack of shit. Its more of a FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CAPCOM WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU THINKING!? Than I dont get it... whys MegaMan fat? Im dumb and cant read and only look at pictures...

I really had no interest in this game, and still don't.

But if this game price dropped and Mega Man+Pac Man were released as DLC, I would have to buy it.

I'm not even a Mega Man 'fan' (I literally only own 3 titles, and I have only beaten one, on Easy), but my god, that troll/throwback is hilarious/amazing.

Honestly, as much as real fans would hate me for it, I would support Mega Man's 25th Anniversary being plagued with a reboot of THAT Mega Man.

@13 - Ruin. Because more characters that you don't have to use, and aren't causing you to lose any characters in the process, is ruining. Seriously?

@35, 20 and others - Really guys? How are bonus characters affecting you? They're BONUS. You would rather have LESS stuff? You guys hate fun or something?

God forbid.

Also, 3 of those characters are Sony characters (the two cats are mascots and the other guy is from a PS3-exclusive title) so there are only 2 characters you'd have to worry about and get upset over since your experience is RUINED by having them.

Because fighting games have to be LOLOMGSERIOUS.

@26 - Like #32 said, Mega Man technically isn't a robot (there's a difference), but even if he was, this Mega Man is based on the original US box art for MM1 on NES, where he was very obviously a human with a gun, as opposed to a cyborg or robot.

Next:

Capcom to Sony: Oh we are very pleased to bounce on your genitals all day long while we dish out fancy new characters for you"

I'm about ready to boycott fighting games. This is getting ridiculous.

Even though I also have a Ps3, I am NOT getting the Ps3 version simply because they ruined Megaman by putting that crappy Boxart version, which is also another slap in the face for Megaman fans.

What does it matter, the extra characters are only in there for novelty. I played as Yoda once or twice in Soul Calibur 4 only to see what he was like. They normally are only rehashes of the other players or some of the weakest of the fighters. No loss for xbox owners.

Although I doubt it would ever happen, for any game, if it's that big of a deal, you could always boycott the game for the first week or two. If no one buys it right away, and the sales start off poor, then maybe they would get the hint. Like I said, not a big deal, but unfortunately its only statements like that the companies get. Mess with their money and they will get the hint!

@44 Well sir, it affects me in the way that I just want to fight a Street Fighter or a Tekken character. Ok, I could not choose bonus chars, that's fine but I don't want to go into online battles against ridiculous things. Not to mention that the cats alone could ruin some experience because of their heigth as Gon did in Tekken 3. And btw, that's Mega Man? That's a mock of him as a character. It's like Capcom has lost all respect to a franchise that thousand of people love (me included). The may thing they are cool joking around with the bad box art, but most fans are not pleased to see some Peter Griffin-like weirdo taking on Mega Man's name. I Believe that those issues affect me. Furthermore, and to sum up, it's SFxTK, wfh should I be interested in non-related characters? I love DMC and I'd hate Dante on this game as I wouldn't want to see Naruto on Bandai Namco side, so I'm glad we are not getting ridiculous characters in a title they don't belong.

Sounds like Sony paid for some exclusivity.

"But basically for the Xbox 360, we were in discussions with them (Microsoft) for which character to put in as an exclusive, but we weren't able to decide on a character because of differences in timing and things like that," Ono told X360A."

If this was like MK were MS didn't want it's characters being mutilated, we'd have some idea of the why, but here Ono mentions timing. What would they need to time? I keep coming back to some timed exclusivity contract like MS had with Rockstar and Activision. Considering that it's Capcom, they probably would've made consumers pay for the characters too even after that timed exclusivity.

@#44 Yeah he looked like a Tron reject or something. Actually the whole box art really reminded of Tron when I was a kid that's half the reason I got into it. I came to like the game much more than any previous incarnation (I think?) of Tron.

Why is Pac-Man in a baby commando style mech suit that looks like a tree? This shit is weak.

And WOW, Capcom is really pissed that Keiji Inafune left the company aren't they? Holy fuck assholes, get over it and stop making Mega Man look like a Mega Turd.

This shit isn't even funny, it's blatant defamation of Mega Mans character and complete dishonor to his creator who now has no control of how they rape his brain child. Like fucking suck a dick already.

I like how Pac Man has a Gustaff-styled Mokujin. That's awesome! I knew I should have bought a PS3!

I think that it is gonna be a PS3 early exclusive. Isn't there gonna be a Reversed Highlighted Game? showcasing the other side of the respective realms? Coulda sworn I saw this somewhere on this site...

I don't think Capcom is pissed he left. I think they were long waiting for him to go so they could neglect Mega Man. Not sure why though? Maybe money. The guy made great games and had wonderful ideas but maybe he was to ambitious for them.

@Magus of Zeal: Dr.Light created Mega Man. He wasn't a human outfitted with cybernetic parts. Dr.Light set out to make a sentient humaniod robot thus creating Mega Man and his sister/counterpart Roll. Technically Mega Man and Protoman are brothers since Dr.Light built Protoman before Mega Man (making him Mega's older brother). As for the X series I think it uses a different Mega Man so that version could be cyborg, but since the original isn't he shouldn't be able to gain weight or get stubble unless it was added to him post-creation (maybe its metal shavings that magnatized to his face? lol).

C'mon Microsoft, you gotta get some exclusive characters because us 360 players will never hear the end of it from our ps3 friends about how great it is to own a ps3 and have SFxTK

So is this the Japanese creativity that Hideo Kojima says America lacks?

I really wish Capcom would sell the Mega Man Franchise to a new studio. After the outright Insult they pulled with Mega Man universe on longtime fans and now this, capcom just keeps losing respect with me. Next thing you know, Dante will go "twilight", Resident Evil will become Gears of War, and instead of a new Onimusha, We'll shit on Bionic Commando's legacy

Eh. More reasons not to buy the game. Capcom, the last thing you need to do is alienate more people from buying your games. Hopefully the probable "Ultimate Street Fighter X Tekken" edition which will probably come out just in time to piss off people that bought the regular edition will include this fun stuff.

@#86 I know Light makes Mega Man I was just saying they're kinda unique among their ilk. I haven't played a Mega Man since 6 or 7 and X2 so some things I've forgotten. So basically the surface of Mega Man's body would be cold metal?

@32 Mega Man is 100% robot. You could argue that he's an android too given the definition (Rush is not, being modeled after a dog and not a human). There are no biological components to him what-so-ever though. Before he even started to fight Wily he was a helper robot, or something to that effect.

X and Zero are also completely robot, though Capcom has gone overboard with the whole "oily blood" thing in some games. Law of robotics also doesn't apply since Zero was built by Wily (as if he ever obeyed those with his stuff) and X was made to work beyond that as the blueprint for the Reploids.

Closest thing the series ever really got to having a human cast would be the ZX characters. Or Ciel, I guess, though she fits closer to a damsel in distress than protagonist.

/nerd

Anyway, I do find it pretty lame. My respect for Ono dropped considerably because of this. I would have loved to play as Pac-Man (not to mention I really wanted Mokujin to make the cut too, but whatever). Also find Bad Boxart Mega Man to be awesome, though I can see how not everybody would appreciate it the same way.

That might be for the Mega Man universe but I'm saying what's widely regarded in the realm of sci-fi. I think by the story and standards he's more android. A robot is programmed and can be automaton, semi-autonomous, or directly controlled usually not humanoid but they can be. Androids generally look human (having synthetic skin) and are designed to resemble human behaviours. Droid usually refers to any sentient form of robot which can emcompass androids. Cyborgs and cybernetic beings refer to any ratio of biological(organic) to robotic/mechanical parts. Capcom is certainly allowed to call it what they want but I like to think my Mega Man to be more than a robot.

@92: Yeah. Light built him to be this sort of universal tool, which he's later augmented by Light to use in taking on the powers of his fallen enemies ("using the right tool to get the job done"). Also a reason he built Roll along with Mega Man was due to the fact that Protoman ran off because he didn't have the companionship of a fellow robot.

@Magus Of Zeal: However you try to dissect it in the end Mega Man is a robot with no organic parts. Dr.Light always wanted a son though so a key reason to creating Mega Man was to finally have one (which would explain why he looks more human then the robot masters Wily makes). Ever heard of the band The Megas? Good stuff, you should check em out!

As a 360 owner, I am outraged! I love the idea of playing as Bad Box Art Megaman and Pac-Man! That does it! I'm saving up money for a PS3 or even a PSVita!
