Banjo/crash & fire emblem/zelda seem like cool ideas to me. Xenoblade Warriors is still surprising to have not seen happen yet.

For ones that happened but deserved better a mario/sonic & crash/spyro platformer would be great to see

I'm not sure if this counts as an outright crossover, but I personally think a Musou Final Fantasy Warriors has the potential to be incredibly fun!... on the condition that there's plenty of side characters and outright weird picks.

Like, it'd be easy to go the Dissidia route and only include main protagonists and antagonists, but I'd personally love to see other interesting picks like Gilgamesh or a variant of Terra as a pilot of Magitek armour (like how she appeared in the very beginning of Final Fantasy VI) an entire classic party in one character slot consisting of a White Mage, Black Mage, Warrior and Thief, or even some "normal" characters or enemies like a Cactuar, a Moogle, and a Chocobo.

I know this idea seems very kinda controversial, but I had to let it out from my brain...

I think Darkstalkers and Mortal Kombat would make sense as fighting game crossover since both Darkstalkers & MK have creepy stuff in it (like in DS the characters were based on monsters and it had some gore while MK has gore & had horror guests in Mortal Kombat (2011) which "monsters + gore" mix sounds great to me).

Also who wouldn't wanna see Sub-Zero slaying down a succubus while doing the fatality move or Shao Kahn/General Shao mauling Pyron to death?

(I know this crossover has some downsides, but I don't think it would matter since only things matters in this crossover that it makes sense)

Kind of crazy neither of those ideas have happened since Koei Tecmo helped develop Dissidia NT & Strangers of Paradise at least. Just seems like obvious/cool idea especially if theyve already worked together although i havent played either of those games & maybe they are closer to a FF Warriors than i think.

SONY/Playstation VS Capcom is just the idea that isn't requested too much, but it would be great due to lots of playstation IPs to pick as fighters. We could also add giant fighters if we could, since there are characters from sony franchises that are giant like Colossus (Shadow of colossus) or mega Knack.

Also there is a potential for story where Sigma and Polygon man team up to challenge various fighters from various PS/Capcom characters to fight them.

Also who wouldn't wanna see Kratos fighting with Dante or Astro Bot fighting with Captain Commando?

Mario and Sonic,no i'm not talking about the olympic games

A Mario and Sonic crossover is the most wished for a lot of people,but the crossover game is a platform game who mix both Mario and Sonic elements.

And talking about Sonic,there is one more crossover that will be cool

Sonic and Mega Man X,this will be a awesome crossover,it will be cool Sonic with X and Zero fighting against Dr. Eggman and Sigma

It would be nice to see Sonic and Mario in a setting that isn't in Smash or the Olympics, but Sonic's high-speed and Mario's simple platforming are too drastically different.

Koei Tecmo doing a Mega Man Warriors game with elements from all the various sub franchises would be amazing, and it's a shame there's so much animosity between the former and Capcom that its likely not going to happen.

One of these isn't a Video game franchise but I want to see Metroid crossover with Doctor Who.


Why?


Because I think Samus fighting a bunch of Daleks would be really awesome.

(Also I think Samus would be a good gateway to explore the world of Doctor Who in a more action environment when the protagonist in question is more of a pacifist)

Nintendo VS. Capcom sounds neat. A more traditional fighting game featuring Nintendo All-Stars sounds nice.

The Binding of Isaac and Zelda!
Just have the plot be set early than TBOI
And have it be Isaac playing zelda!
Characters would be isaac disguised as multiple Zelda Antagonists, Past Isaac (happy and with clothes) And Normal Isaac aswell as link and other Real zelda Characters!
I mean Half of isaac is zelda 1 anyways! So how about the crybaby crys on some pigs!

I'd love to see some interesting NEOGEO-era guest pulls for the next The King of Fighters. After all, Maximum Impact: Regulation A included Makoto Mizoguchi from Data East's Fighter's History series, and I think similar guests in that vein could be a lot of fun!

If I needed to pick specifics - I'd probably propose Tesse (robotic maid inspired by Astro Boy) from Waku Waku 7, Otane Goketsuji (elderly twin sister of the main antagonist) from the Power Instinct series, and probably also Ryoko (a young judoka) from Fighter's History and, for the fun of it, literally anyone from Windjammers (because it'd be so fun to translate their gameplay into a more traditional fighter.)

I want a Mario, Donkey Kong, and Halo crossover! I want to see the Mario and Donkey Kong characters interact with the characters from Master Chief’s world! I want to see Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong, and Diddy Kong trying on the Mjolnir armor that’s been worn by superhuman Spartans! I want to see King K. Rool and Bowser interacting with the Covenant! I want see Cranky Kong giving his input at the command center, arguing with militants in a manner that would remind you of a grumpy older relative at the Thanksgiving table!

Unironically, I feel Sonic and Minions could be a fun idea if done right. More so after Mario+Rabbids turned out to be quite cool.

A game where Sonic and friends join forces with Gru and the Despicable Me cast to stop Vector and Eggman from taking over the moon, to put a random example of one plot possibility.

It's awesome to brainstorm potential video game crossovers. Your idea of Paper Mario crossing over with Fire Emblem sounds intriguing! Exploring how these two different worlds and gameplay styles could intertwine could lead to some exciting possibilities. Personally, I've always wondered about a collaboration between the Pokémon universe and the world of Final Fantasy.
Speaking of gaming adventures, if you're into Wild Rift, boosteria.org offers top-notch boosting services to help you elevate your gameplay and climb the ranks. It's a fantastic way to enhance your skills and experience even more thrilling matches.

Street Fighter vs. Mortal Kombat - My dream match between two of my favorite fighting game franchises.

Shonen Jump vs. Capcom - Aside from wanting to see Street Fighter and Dragon Ball go at it, there are so many other crossovers I'd like to see between these two.

Tezuka vs. Capcom - I'd rather this than another Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, as I could never really get into the Tatsunoko characters.

Nintendo x SEGA - It could be a fighting game or an RPG. Either way, I would like to see a crossover featuring characters from these two companies.

I would like to see something unorthodox like Kid Icarus and Shin Megami Tensei. I have no idea how it would properly work (maybe like SMT V where it feels kinda open world but you can double down into the exploration aspect with mission based elements similarly to KI: Uprising and the SMT aspect of get into fights and recruit angels and demons and such)

I reckon something that'd be really cool is some kind of beat-em-up with the main character kind of having a similar baseline concept to SEGA's 404 GAME RE:SET project - that is, being able to plug in a game cart (or something similar) that then grants them a physical design change (and new abilities) based on another game in the company's lineup.

Honestly? I think it'd work really well with Wonder Momo specifically.

While I get a big part of the appeal of that series is that it's kind of a pastiche of tokusatsu as a whole (usually presented as an actual stage play) I still think you could totally do something fun with the concept within those constraints, and it's hardly uncommon for toku to feature a self-referential "mode-change" take on the henshin format. Kind of like Kamen Rider Decade or Ultraman Orb, if I had to compare.

Plus, you could probably have each mode have unique gameplay functions; something like a "Pac-Mode" changing her Wonder Hoop to be able to "eat" enemies or objects that pass through it by having a black hole in the middle could be a lot of fun. Namco's hardly lacking in potential for something like that. Pac-Man, Druaga, Bravoman, Xevious, Dig Dug and Mappy would be fairly obvious pulls, but you could totally go for later stuff like a demonic look for Tekken or a car theming akin to Turboranger for Ridge Racer, and so on and so forth.

Zelda and Fire Emblem. More specific: a Zelda themed Fire Emblem game, the Zelda cast thrown in a SRPG game made by Nintendo and Intelligent Systems.

A proper Donkey Kong / Metroid crossover too made by Retro Studios. It'd be 2.5D similar to Metroid Other M. The Kongs and Samus teaming up facing against a corrupted army of Kremlings and Space Pirates. Ridley and K.Rool teaming up somehow, probably by Ridley manipulating K.Rool. It'd work because neither the Kongs and Samus are especially vocally emote. Heavy action based adventure game with huge emphasis on exploration. Kong abilities getting upgrades similar to how Samus gets her power ups.

An actual crossover between Mario and Donkey Kong that's more of an equal ground than Mario vs Donkey Kong would be great too. And quite easy to envision. In general a mass Mario Universe crossover would be great, just throw in Wario and Yoshi here as well. Why not? Playable cast being : :ultmario::ultluigi::ultdk::ultdiddy::ultwario::ultyoshi:.

I'd love to have some kind of Zelda/Mario crossover. Have the two of them team-up and cross back and forth between each others worlds while trying to save their respective princesses and stop a team-up of Bowser and Ganon (who are bound to betray each other at some point. Possible multiple points.)

You could totally have fun with this sort of thing by actually switching between gameplay styles from each series - that is to say, top-down and side-scrolling. Seeing Link in a platforming context (a little expanded from those segments in Link's Awakening with some influence from Zelda 2, maybe?) and Mario in a top-down environment (maybe using various items of his own!) could be a lot of fun. Plus, they do have some shared DNA beyond just being two flagship Nintendo franchises...

Oh, I'm with you there.

It could be a lot of fun seeing Mario in Link's world and Link in Mario's.

Mario and Zelda would work. But I much rather have Mario crossover with Donkey Kong, on equal grounds that is, so more so compared to the Mario Movie than Mario vs Donkey Kong as a gaming series. And I indeed just think a platformer would be enough. Even if its just regular Mario platforming with DK and Diddy also playable and traversing DK Isle at some points here and there. Or just bring them all to a different environment altogether. I'd want this after the DK IP reestablished itself though. Not beforehand.

With Zelda, I want a strategy RPG Zelda game made by the Fire Emblem team at Intelligent Systems. Actually, why not throw some classic Paper Mario elements in there too or something. Just make it a Zelda RPG by Intelligent Systems. If its just a Zelda themed Fire Emblem that would be awesome as well.
