Who will make The Next Mascot Fighter?

Nintendo has one, Capcom has one(Onimusha Blade Warriors), Shonen Jump has... a few, Guilty Gear has one, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has one, Cartoon Network has one, and now Sony is making theirs. Who's gonna be next?

Hmm... considering that they made a motion controlled minigame title, a tennis game, AND a racing game, I believe that SErvice GAmes is gonna jump on the bandwagon next.

Trans Formers.

Super Excellent Gaming Adventurers is probably one of the better choices, but they always feel like they're ripping off of Nintendo whenever they do it, probably because of similar ideas.

Nickelodeon has its own thread for this thing; that's another good idea. A A:TLA and Korra figher would be great too.

DC, Star Wars (or Lucas Film in general), Disney, Dreamworks, Kelloggs, I can think of lots.

Sega's usually trailing behind Nintendo on these things (Sonic racing transformed anyone?) and it would be dishonorable to abandon a series he's already made an appearance in.

You know what? Since microsoft's trying its' damndest to get the younger demographic and put on a "For the whole family" air I'm actually voting for them.

I actually have Onimusha Blade Warriors somewhere around here... Hmm... Have I unlocked notgonk!Jujemdorah yet...?

That problem is that Microsoft doesn't really have any Family Friendly characters.

At least, they care about the younger audience, unlike Sony now.

When asked, Microsoft says "You do not want that game."

You do not want this game. These are not the mascots you are looking for.

Microsoft really did try and grab the kiddie audience early on... That didn't really work out.

Hasbro, Nickelodeon, indie games...just a few guesses/ideas, maybe...

Microsoft fail at kiddies because like Steve Jobs once said, they lack soul.

A sega one would be awesome. I'd love to see Sketch Turner having ZAM! BOP! WHAM! comic effects coming off every hit he lands.

I'm still waiting for my Jedi fighting game. It doesn't even need a story. Just let me have Darth Maul vs Kyle Katarn or Kyp Durron vs Emperor Palpatine.

I wanna see a Rare Mascot Fighter. Fuck the rest of the Microsoft characters!

But their too busy making Kinect Sports and shit.

Was wondering the other day why Microsoft bought Rare and promptly did nothing of worth with them? To piss off Nintendo and people who liked Rare in its heyday?

Probably Capcom will bear a mascot fighter in the future.

Atlus.

...Well, probably not, but whatever.

Valve.

You know it would be cool.

Coal for the hype-train: Paul Gale (who revealed Play Station All Stars Battle Royale) says he has another piece of information on an Xbox 360 exclusive that is, in his words "of the same caliber as [the reveal of] Play Station All-Stars Battle Royale was."

Whatever it is, it probably won't be a mascot fighter, but it'll likely be very interesting.

I'll say this once, so you won't have to say it.

Nippon Ichi.

Except they won't do it alone. As usual.

But seriously, I would really doubt it that Nippon Ichi wouldn't at least take a shot at making a fighting game. They have such a big list of characters, at least from their Disgaea series, that a crossover fighting game would be inevitable. Sure a mascot fighter would be too far a stretch, but meh, if you're going to do a crossover game, do it right.

I could see SEGA doing it eventually.

Time Warner Bros.

Hey, you never know.

I want a Warner Bros cartoon vs Disney cartoon crossover fighter.

You know, a WB crossover game wouldn't be too unlikely.

You see, they practically own a lot of stuff already. Aside from the Looney Tunes they currently own the rights of Tom & Jerry. And, aside from that, they own Cartoon Network and, by extension, Adult Swim. They also own Hanna-Barbera, which has been folded into Warner Bros. Animation. On top of that, we have DC Comics. Add to that Nether Realm Studios. Did I forget anything? Yes, yes I did, most likely, but I'm not going too far deep.

So, what could fit in there? If we forget all of Cartoon Network just this once, we still have a lot. I mean, Tom & Jerry, The Looney Tunes (and by extension Tiny Toons), the Animaniacs, basically the entire DC Universe, stuff from Hanna-Barbera, Mortal Kombat (if we really want to go this far). I mean, we can just use Bugs Bunny, Duck Dodgers (regular Daffy would be fine too, but we all want Duck Dodgers), the Warner brothers (and sister), pit them against Batman, Wonder Woman, or even Aquaman, add in some Space Ghost, Captain Caveman or Top Cat, maybe add cameos from Scorpion and Sub-Zero, and, as a surprise guest Neo (although that would really be pushing it), and you have a pretty saturated game.

Nah, Warner Bros. Vs Capcom is more likely.

Or that. Either way, I wouldn't mind at all. Although a WB vs Capcom would lower Neo's chances to be in a good game by a mile.

HOLY CRAP, GUYS! Apparently, a Disney Mascot Fighter was actually in production, but then it got scrapped.

A damn shame.

Bioware.

Minsc Vs. Garrus Vakarian!
