I do kinda think people have a bit of crossover fever nowadays, and I'm seeing it extend beyond video games. Avengers, anyone?
Robert Englund goes into how often he gets the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny question, regarding other horror icons.

At the end of the day, we're all just a bunch of kids banging their action figures together, wondering Who Would Win. I think execs have been aware of that draw for a long time, and gaming is just now entering that phase where the major publishers are really being established, each of them with their own legacy to show (like I said in my last post). It's just a part of being one of the younger mediums.

Is there a campaign or something to get that Puyo Puyo Tetris game stateside (to the USA)? Because what American doesn't like Tetris?

I normally hate crossovers unless the crossing over was justified in game (I.E. The King Of Fighters in its entirety), or if the I Ps the characters come from are actually still active. There's nothing I hate more than knowing that Darkstalkers still has a lot of potential, only for a minute fraction of the characters from that universe to be whored out in games they're only costarring in. Smash Bros. on the other hand still have a majority of their properties active.

With this sudden spike of crossovers, I just went up and started a crossover database.

It's probably the only way I could sort the info out. tongue

Gavan, Let's get jiggy!
