Posted? Trailer for the 3DS Project X Zone game:

That likely has nothing to do with this game. That's being published under the Banpresto label of Bandai Namco, and has been known for months.

Edit: For the new page:

The SWF file is named "countdown01" which leads me to believe that in 3 days we'll just get a new image added to the puzzle. I took a look at the source code, and the SWF file itself:

Nothing in there points to an obvious answer. The sunrise image doesn't match the one from Smash that was posted here.

 

[NeonZ]

If it's not Smash, maybe a Shounen Jump All Stars title? It's been a while since one was made.

 

[electroplankton]

What if... Gundam All-Star Battle?

 

[Takao]

I don't know why any of you guys would think this would be Smash. Nintendo's not going to allow a teaser site to be hosted on Scamco's site.

 

[Grokbu]

Would be cool if it'd be a competitive Shonen Jump 2D/3D fighter.

EDIT: With competitive, I mean a game where they have a fighting game scene in mind, and try to keep the game balanced. Not sure if they've done that with a Shonen Jump game, but it'd be cool.

 

[dramatis]

What if... Gundam All-Star Battle?

We got this though, it's called Gundam vs. Gundam. It's godlike enough that they don't need to make another fighting game for Gundam.

I'm betting on 3DS and Shounen Jump.

 

[Takao]

I'm betting on 3DS and Shounen Jump.

The last 2 Jump All-Stars games were published by Nintendo.

Those are Nintendo/ Ganbarion, not NBGI.

 

[electroplankton]

Nemo's submarine in Secret of Blue Water is called Nautilus (that's not so original)... Mumble mumble (it's a Bandai IP in video game, I guess?).

 

[Defuser]

Man, Bandai got a shitload of IPs. The possibilities are alot.

 

[dramatis]

Yes, but that doesn't mean they can't change publishers. I guess it depends on who owns the trademark. Although, the lack of a "Jump" in the title probably makes it lean towards something else.

 

[Takao]

I'm not even quite sure how the legalities of Namco Bandai publishing a JUMP game in present day would work out. Many of the video game licenses are held by different companies, and in some cases there are different publishers for different platforms.

 

[KillerTravis]

It's probably going to be the reveal of a Tekken character on Playstation All Stars, but it's definitely not going to be anything about Smash.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Smash Bros. plz

 

[BassForever]

I'm mostly hoping for Smash just because if it is Namco All Star Battle we won't be playing it in English :|

 

[NeonZ]

Those are Nintendo/ Ganbarion, not NBGI.

Bandai publishes most Shounen Jump games though, and we haven't seen a Jump Super Stars title for years. I won't be surprised if they got the Shounen Jump manga license.

 

[JazzmanZ]

Namco to one up capcom and make Namco vs. DC

 

[wsippel]

Bandai publishes most Shounen Jump games though, and we haven't seen a Jump Super Stars title for years. I won't be surprised if they got the Shounen Jump manga license.

Even if NBGI did a Jump crossover game, it wouldn't be Super Stars. They wouldn't/ couldn't use the branding or the mechanics. Either way, I heavily, heavily doubt this title has anything to do with Jump.

While Namco Bandai does have many of the licenses for JUMP properties, there are a variety that would be missing. If this game is for PlayStation platforms, then it will lack Bleach because SCE is the publisher for that franchise. If this game is for Nintendo platforms it will lack Naruto because Takara Tomy is the publisher for that franchise on Nintendo* hardware. Things like Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan, and others would also be missing because they have a non-Namco Bandai video game publisher.

* Battle Stadium DON was published on GC by Scamco. I don't know how that happened.

Which is why I mentioned "All Stars" in the original post. Don't know why people instantly assumed I was talking about Nintendo's series.

I'm scared to jump on the hype train...Not after E3.

But.. but.. Nintendo Dairecto.

In SSB4, all i'm asking for.

It's going to be Lili.

Spoiler

Again.

 

[mclem]

It's probably going to be the reveal of a Tekken character on Playstation All Stars, but it's definitely not going to be anything about Smash.

Would be extremely odd for that to be revealed by Namco and not the company actually doing the game.

 

[Takao]

Would be extremely odd for that to be revealed by Namco and not the company actually doing the game.

It would also be extremely odd for Smash 4 to be revealed by Scamco and not the company who actually owns the game, but that doesn't stop people from posting in this thread thinking as such.

 

[Meelow]

But.. but.. Nintendo Dairecto.

It's still scary to jump on any kind of hype train...Even if Nintendo Direct was amazing (it was).

 

[IntelliHeath]

Well, It might not be SSB4; but I can't help to speculating that Nintendo and Namco might make a deal.

 

[Platy]

If it is a Jump Superstars game for 3DS I'm going to kill someone because of 3ds' region lock ><

 

[Takao]

Well, It might not be SSB4; but I can't help to speculating that Nintendo and Namco might make a deal.

Might? It won't be Smash. I'm so confident it won't be that I will avatar bet you and anyone else who posts in this thread thinking as such.

I'm also pretty confident that in 3 days we're not getting the reveal, but rather more teaser images.

Hahaha, that would be so namco if they pulled teaser image crap again. I already went through their hype machine and it was awful.

Well, I would like to says It's not smash but just that anything is possible.

I like you.

 

[DeviousAngel]

Return of the Dojo of course.

There goes whatever's left of my social life

But seriously, this is not smash bros.

 

[Mariolee]

There goes whatever's left of my social life

But GUYS....

What if it IS Smash Bros? :O

 

[udivision]

A dojo that announces dojo's for all games
last update would announce the smash dojo

 

[Allan Holdsworth]

DON Battle 2 obviously.

And I hope people saying Smash Bros are kidding, the game is being published by Nintendo, not Namco.

 

[dramatis]

While Namco Bandai does have many of the licenses for JUMP properties, there are a variety that would be missing.

The licenses are timed. Once they expire, other companies can scoop them up, and the original licensees can't make XYZ again.

It's stuff that this which keep certain games from having sequels for a long time, like MvC.

 

[nintendoman58]

Guys Guys Guys, it's not gonna be Smash Bros. It was announced like, a month ago or something that it was in a very early stage. The earliest we can expect a trailer or dojo is in E3 2013. And even that's doubtful.

Spoiler

That still isn't stopping me from getting hyped

 

[AJSousuke]

I doubt this is something for a Nintendo console.

Those pictures makes no sense.

SCE published a Bleach game last year, as did Takara Tomy for Naruto. Konami published a Nura game this year. Actually, I'm not even sure the latter is out yet.

 

[Red Arremer]

Could this be related?

Anyone know what this translates to? Or is it just the dev team? D:

Namco Bandai Game Lab or something like that.

 

[dramatis]

That's what I'm saying. Each company has hogged some slice, but the period in which they can release games for said slice is limited by whatever contract they sign with Shueisha. If Shueisha is dissatisfied with game publisher/dev's handling of the license for video game media, they can eventually back out.

It's possible that they'll even make the ability of the publisher to use the license in a very narrow way.

 

[Red Arremer]

Namco Bandai Game Lab or something like that.

Ah, gotcha.

 

[Javier]

Sakurai didn't read the fine print when he made the deal with Namco and now Namco owns Super Smash Bros. and all the characters in it.

Kamen Rider X Super Sentai: The Vidja Game

Berieve

Why do you pull at my heart strings like this? To have a game where I can play as Big One and Kamen Rider Skull is a dream. Here's hoping the new All Rider Generation game gets Kamen Rider Wizard as an unlockable like Fourze in the last one.

 

[SmithnCo]

It's obviously Mollusk Aquarium Beef Jerky Battle Arena.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Sunrise? Isn't the studio that makes the gundam anime?

 

[Takao]

Sunrise? Isn't the studio that makes the gundam anime?

Sunrise produces a lot more anime than just Gundam. But yeah, that's Scamco's production arm.
