7 Crossover Fighting Video Games That Need To Be Made
"Who would win in a fight?"
Fighting games have always been the superior way for a crossover to happen; seeing characters come together from multiple different franchises is great and all but watching those characters fight to the death is even better.
Whilst a few examples of great crossover fighting games do exist, such as Super Smash Bros., the sub-genre is more often a failure, as companies think a great substitute for good mechanics is throwing beloved characters in a generic fighter without putting in the effort to make it fun.
Even some of the biggest players in the genre have been lacking recently such as the disappointing Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. But not all is lost for this small category of games, Super Smash Bros. has another entry coming for the Nintendo Switch later this year with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Shonen Jump's very own take at the genre with Jump Force is looking very promising.
So, with a promising future for the crossover fighter on the horizon, what other companies have got it in them to make a crossover fighting game that could rival even that of Smash.
7. Disney Crossover Fighting Game
Before the success of Super Smash Bros. the idea of a Disney fighting game would be absurd, fighting games were violent fights to the death and couldn't contain any family-friendly characters.
Lucky for us, Smash proved that anyone can be pummelled to death as long as there is no blood or loss of limbs; nobody wants to see Jack Sparrow decapitate Winnie the Pooh.
Every good crossover fighting game needs iconic characters, and Disney has a lot of them. With a game like this we can all find out who would win in a fight, Sully from Monsters, Inc. or Luke Skywalker.
How Likely Is It For This Game To Happen?: Unfortunately quite unlikely, as Disney isn't exactly making many games nowadays. Instead, Disney now gives the rights to their properties to other companies like EA who has had a lot of fun messing up Star Wars.
A crossover game would require a lot of work and attention from Disney, who unfortunately isn't focussing on video games right now so I doubt they'd put in the effort to make something like this happen.
