'''''Project X Zone''''' (Pronounced '''"Project Cross Zone'''") is a [[Turn -Based Strategy]] [[Crossover]] game for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] console, featuring characters from the companies [[Capcom]], [[Namco Bandai]] and [[Sega]]. It's a [[Spiritual Successor]] to ''[[Namco X Capcom]]''.
 
The fighting engine seems to be closer to the ''[[Endless Frontier]]'' games. Characters are paired off into units of two.

== Project X Zone provides examples of: ==
* [[BFS]]: No, Sanger does ''not'' need a [[Humongous Mecha]] to swing one around.
* [[Casting Gag]]: Bruno Dillinger from ''Dynamite Cop/Deka'' is voiced by Ben Hiura, who is the actual Japanese voice actor for [[Bruce Willis (Creator)]] in the majority of his most recent movies. Since Bruno is a [[Expy]] of Bruce Willis and the American version of the first ''Dynamite Cop/Deka'' was named ''Die Hard Arcade'', this is quite fitting.
** Also overlaps with [[The Other Darrin]] in a meta-example, since Ben Hiura replaces the late [[Nachi Nozawa]] as the Japanese voice of Willis.
* [[Continuity Nod]]: One of Xiaoyu's voice clips off the website mentions that the worlds coming together is like one huge amusement park. It's been Xiaoyu's dream to build an amusement park since Tekken 3.
* [[Crossover]]: ''A MASSIVE one''. [[Tales of Vesperia|Yuri and Estelle]], [[Space Channel 5|Ulala]], [[Devil May Cry|Dante]], [[Tekken|Jin and Xiaoyu]] and [[Resident Evil|Chris and Jill]] are just some of the characters featured. And there are still tons more to announce!
* [[Enemy Mine]]: Dante teams up with Demitri, who by all means he should be [[Demon Slaying|killing]].
** [[Mythology Gag]]: This is not the first time Dante teams up with a possible target, a similar case happened in ''[[Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne (Video Game)|Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne]]'' with Dante joining forces with Demi-Fiend by following the straight good path.
** And then in the same vein, we have Frank West, the zombie apocalypse survival expert, teaming up with Hsien-Ko, a [[Our Zombies Are Different|Jiang-Shi]]. Looks like this might become a pattern with the [[Darkstalkers]] cast.
* [[Going for Thethe Big Scoop]]: [[Dead Rising|Frank]] and [[Space Channel 5|Ulala]] certainly don't shy away from saving the world/galaxy respectively while covering their stories. Heck, they've even both done it ''twice''.<ref> Of course, Off The Record isn't canon but certainly showed what Frank would have done.</ref> It'll be interesting to see what extent they become [[The Rival]] to one another.
* [[Power Creep, Power Seep]]: This is what happens when you take some of the more realistic characters (Chris, Jill, Frank, Xiaoyu, Akira) and have them fight against/alongside some of the more fantasy based characters (Demitri, Ulala, Sanger, KOS-MOS).
* [[Rule of Cool]]: Chris and Jill, two characters hailing from a quasi-realistic setting, having flashy auras following their physical attacks.
* [[Shout -Out]]: [[Fantasy Zone|Opa-Opa]] and the [[Space Harrier (Video Game)|Space Harrier guy]] show up to help Ulala with her attacks.
* [[Tag Team]]: The characters are paired off like this. Some are teamed up by series (Ryu and Ken, Jin and Xiaoyu, Akira and Pai) while others make use of the crossover (the aforementioned Dante/Demitri and Frank West/Hsien-Ko team-ups.)
* [[Talking to Himself]]: Inevitable with the size of the cast. Some examples include [[Nobuyuki Hiyama|Demitri and Haken]] and [[Aya Endo|Leanne and Riela]].
