Viral Mystery Site Baffles Gamers

Obviously it's a game, but what?

This site popped up last month and left gamers all over the net scratching their heads. What could Capcom, Bandai Namco, and Sega all be working on together? There's not much to the site as of yet, just some petri dishes with x-shapes in them. Each of the shapes has different colors so some have speculated that these perhaps represent characters from each universe.

Viral websites of course are nothing new when it comes to game releases, with one of the most popular ones in recent memory being this site for Bioshock 2 that offered teasers and clues about the game to build hype before its release. As for what this new site is promoting? Who knows? A new fighting game? An MMO? All we know is that it will be colorful, action packed, and full of amazing characters from each team. Everyone keep an eye on this and if you have any theories or speculations please be sure to post them in the comments below!
