Project X Zone 2

I guess we can add Nintendo to the Sega, Capcom, and Bandai Namco mash-up strategy game.

Confirmed for release in North America back in April, Project X Zone 2 keeps adding unexpected cameos to its roster. Despite the impressive and disparate cast of characters from myriad franchises, Nintendo characters were unexpected, but the game is a 3DS exclusive after all. In the trailer below you will see Lucina and Chrom from Fire Emblem join the fray. I can't imagine we will see characters like Mario, Samus, or Link appear, but who knows? Maybe this Fire Emblem crossover will open the floodgates.

Project X Zone 2 arrives in North America on 3DS before the end of the year.

I got my hands on Project X Zone 2 at E3 and used Mega Man X and Zero to take out Sigma. You can read about my experience here. You can read our review of the original Project X Zone here.
