Tekken X Street Fighter Is The Last Guardian of Fighting Games

This month, we celebrate the fifth anniversary of the announcement of Tekken X Street Fighter. Oh my, has it been that long? I don't even remember anymore.

All right, let me scour through my archive: Okay, so here I was really announcing the game back in July 2010, then asking where the hell the game was in January 2012, then saying that it was "still in development." That's excluding our reports of Capcom's Yoshinori Ono poking fun at the game's development in January 2012 and of Namco Bandai hiring 40 people to finish the game earlier this year. Remind you of any other particular Sony game featuring a chihuahua-chimera? Japanese companies have a habit of never letting things go, and my feelings for Tekken X Street Fighter mimics my exact feelings for The Last Guardian. For the first few years of its development, all of the news of the game being delayed and then coming back and then being radio-silent did not do great things for my heart.
