To those of you who aren't into it (yet!!), the Smash Brothers franchise is Nintendo's way-crazy crossover fighting game, featuring characters from their many franchises planting kick in each others' faces.
But the latest incarnation, for the Wii, ups the ante, by featuring a couple of characters from other companies big franchises: Sonic the Hedgehog and Solid Snake from the Metal Gear Solid series.
Which makes me wonder this:
- We can have comic book crossovers
- We can have video came characters cross over in Smash Brothers
- We can have superheroes do crossovers in video game franchises
Oh, and Nintendo? I want Mario vs. Wolverine in the next Smash Brothers. Make it so.
Forbush Man vs. the original Red Tornado! Clash of the cooking pans!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, that's a great idea...but the lawyers always ruin our fun. Heck...why not a Disney vs. Looney Tunes game, with Bugs Bunny dropping anvils on Micky Mouse or Donald Duck doing a Type-A freakout on Daffy Duck?
Well, the lawyers were willing to allow JLA/Avengers, so maybe there's hope...
ReplyDeleteAnd given that Marvel has had several good video games, and DC just about ZERO, you'd hope the Marvel half could pick the development house...
