Crossover #1:
Bounty Hunting in the City
Subject 1: Captain Falcon
Subject 2: Samus Aran
+
Genre: Action/Little Espionage
Arguably, both of these characters can be in the same universe. Arguably, they both have the exact same occupation, even though in history we rarely see them in their bounty hunting action. Well, in this crossover we pitch them both in a futuristic city, doing nothing more but go bounty hunting. While Metroid games are usually full of exploration and terrorizing loneliness, throwing Samus in the big city with all of her moves and weapons attached would be freakin’ sweet. Then we have Captain Falcon riding around in his vehicle, using sheer brute strength to find his pray. This would be nice.
Crossover #2:
Star Fox: Return of the Andross
Subject 1: Star Fox team
Subject 2: Star Wars universe
+
Genre: Aerial Action
Now, Star Fox will never ever be allowed to mix into the universe of Star Wars. But imagine Fox and his team exploring around the different areas and planets of Star Wars and participating in all their battles. You have the Star Wars planet being viewed from the lovable Fox team. Not many would agree, but I personally would love to see this. Its not like Star Wars is realistic or anything---but watching Slippy needing help in the Battle of Hoth would be priceless.
Crossover #3:
Pokemon Smash Brothers
Subject 1: Pokemon
Subject 2: Smash Brothers
+
Genre: Fighting
Now, picture Super Smash Brothers (Melee or Brawl, whichever you prefer). Now, picture it with nothing more except 75 of your favorite Pokemon past and present. Do I have your attention? Now, have them fight in different environments around the Pokemon universe. And, the Master Hand is instead Mewtwo. Admit it, how awesome would that be? This is how Pokemon battling should be like, not the turn-based nonsense.
Crossover #4:
DBZ vs. Marvel/Capcom
Subject 1: Dragonball Z cast
Subject 2: Marvel
Subject 3: Capcom
+
Genre: Fighting. Fighting. Fighting.
Deadpool vs. Frieza. Ryu vs. Goku. Hulk vs. Piccolo. Iron Man vs. Vegeta. Spider-Man vs. Krillin. Chun-Li vs. Chi-Chi. Nappa vs. Zangief. Cell vs. Venom. Carnage vs. M. Bison.
There, that is all I need to say.
Crossover #5:
Wario in Jersey
Subject 1: Aqua Teen Hunger Force cast
Subject 2: Wario
+
Genre: ?????
Aqua Teen Hunger Force has not been in a decent video game, but they truly have potential. Throw in Wario in the mix, and give them a totally random series of adventures in Jersey. If there is a Nintendo character that can be forgiven for being in an “M” rated game, it would be Wario. Just those 5 interacting with each other while they battle random villains would definitely be an experience worth buying.
Crossover #6:
Marvel/Capcom vs. Disney
Subject 1: Marvel
Subject 2: Capcom
Subject 3: Disney
+
Genre: Fighting
While this isn’t as attractive as a showdown against the cast of Dragonball Z, there are indeed some Disney characters that can be in the mix. Try the cast of Kingdom Hearts, the Gargoyles, some of the folks from Tale Spin, Aladdin, Hercules, Hades, and Darkwing Duck? This idea isn’t a total disaster, eh?
Crossover #7:
Metal Gear Splinter
Subject 1: Solid Snake
Subject 2: Sam Fisher
+
Genre: Espionage/action
We have the two best stealth figures in the gaming industry teaming up together, bringing their different methods of getting the job done to tackle the same major dilemma. You can choose either/or to beat the game, or better yet, maybe even have them turn on each other. Secretly, we have been clamoring for a Snake/Sam showdown, and this game can deliver it. Let’s just cut out all the cut scenes please.
Crossover #8:
Tony Hawk’s Adventure Island
Subject 1: Tony Hawk Proskater
Subject 2: Super Adventure Island setting
+
Genre: Action Sports
If you don’t remember the Adventure Island series, let me jog your memory: they were a series of side-scrolling platform games for the NES and SNES that featured multiple weapons and the ability to ride dinosaurs and skateboards while engaging in a cool island setting. Now, make the setting much bigger, make it 3-D, and add the massive Proskater Underground-style sandbox gameplay system. Wouldn’t it be awesome riding around in a dinosaur and taking out some bad men in a village a few miles down? Wouldn’t it be awesome so skate around the island while trying to find your next destination? Lastly, how cool would it be to do some tricks in caves, mountains, jungles, and beaches? The Tony hawk games waned in popularity because the settings started becoming all too similar. A drastic change is needed. Here is your answer, a Proskater in a massive island.
Crossover #9
Zombies Ate My Halo
Subject 1: Zombies Ate My Neighbors!
Subject 2: Halo
+
Genre: Horror Action/Shooter
The whole war-against-aliens thing is becoming quite a bore. Everyone is doing it. For every Halo, you got multiple imitators. Time to change things up a bit. Now, imagine Halo gameplay but instead the setting becoming a world full of every single possible horror movie cliché known to man: spanning from massive babies to small killer clowns, to zombies popping up everywhere, to men wielding chainsaws and axes. You as Master Chief and your army have to fight off all these crazy invasions while saving people mixed up in the mess. With Zombies Ate My Halos, you have absolutely no idea what the next threat is going to be.
Crossover #10:
The Legend of Fable
Subject 1: The Legend of Zelda
Subject 2: Fable
+
Genre: Adventure/Action
Fable was supposed to kill off Zelda but it lacked one major element: personality. While Fable is a fun game to play with its impressive diversity, The Legend of Zelda is an incredible series that has superb storytelling, superb gameplay, and always a great musical score. Now, imagine adding the Fable-like gameplay mechanics to the next Zelda story. What if you don’t want to save Zelda? What if you want to become ruler and are willing to take out the good guys and the dark force at the same time? What if you are already married? With the Fable gameplay added, the storyline of Zelda can mold in different directions depending on what you decide to do in your life in the earlier years. That way, this Zelda game can never end the same, no matter how many ways you play it. There are not enough games in the world with multiple-multiple endings (Chrono Trigger anyone?), its time that Zelda changes this.
Crossover #11:
Call of Duty: Blast Corps
Subject 1: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
Subject 2: Blast Corps
+
Genre: FPS/Blow-em-up
Blast Corps is a pure N64 classic in which all you do is blow stuff up. To make sure that a nuclear missile doesn’t detonate your goal was to create a course by destroying all sorts of obstacles in your path to allow the safe transport of nuclear stuff from Point A to Point B. Now where is that sequel? Now imagine a Modern Warfare Call of Duty in which not only do you have to move from place to place and survive, but you also get to utterly destroy the entire area for which you just passed through? Just picture it, the level starts off as a first-person shooter, and then the second part of the level becomes a third-person blow-em’-up. It is a match made in heaven: go through a rouge city in Russia, then blow it to smithereens.
Crossover #12:
F-Zero Turismo
Subject 1: F-Zero
Subject 2: Gran Turismo
+
Genre: Futuristic Racing Sim
We would be doing a gaming first over here. Imagine the speed and intensity of F-Zero with the realistic complications of the Gran Turismo games. Imagine having to run around the city trying to find the right parts to repair your vehicles after each major race. F-Zero has been a very underrated and unappreciated franchise that can rise to incredible quality heights if they add more depth to the gameplay rather than frustrating challenge. Giving each racer a deeper personality as well as giving each vehicle their “personality” per-se would make the next F-Zero the first futuristic racing simulator in gaming history. I’d love to try that.
Another classic crossover in need of being made:
Pokemon with MMORPG anything
