5 Crossover Games We Are Dying to See!

In 2002 a game called Kingdom Hearts was released to the public. This game was a crossover game between two very unlikely bunch of characters. This game pitted Mikey Mouse and other Disney characters with Final Fantasy characters. People were skeptic if this crossover game woul be any good. To everyone's surprise, it was!  Kingdom Hearts is still going very strong and is extremely popular.  Another great unusual crossover game is the recently released Pokemon Conquest. this game was a crossover game between Pokemon and Nobunaga's Ambition. Pokemon Conquest received good reviews by critics.  So, Cullination thinks about what other unusual crossover games could become popular. In no particular order, here are five crossover games we are dying to see.

1. Little Big Mario

This game is a cross over between Little Big Planet and the popular Nintendo plumber, Mario.  Super Mario Bros. was first introduced in 1985.  This side-scrolling game was a huge break through in the video game world.  Players loved jumping on platforms and shooting fire balls at villainous turtles and diseased mushrooms, all while trying to save a princess.

In 2008 a game for Playstation 3 was released.  This game was called Little Big Planet.  The game featured Sackboy as you jumped onto platforms and successfully reached the end of each level.  In my opinion, these two games are very similar.  They both are great side scrolling games that involve platforms.  Make this crossover happen!

2. Halo featuring Samus Aran

Halo was first released on X-Box in 2001.  Since then Halo has become a multi billion dolloar series!  It is probably the most successful first player shooting game.  Although in my opinion, all first person shooter games are almost the same.  But for some reason, Halo is still going very strong today!

Samus was introduced into the world way before Halo.  It featured a space pirate that had a bunch of bombs with her along with a cannon as an arm!  Fans of Samus might have been a little skeptic at first about Samus entering the first person shooter world....that is until Metroid Prime was released for Gamecube.  The game was all about controlling this Female Fatal known as Samus Aran through her perspective (known as first person shooting).  So, why not have Samus be a playable character in the popular Halo series?

3.  Lego Legend Of Zelda

Why not have a little fun with this list?  Lets combine the (for some odd reason) popular Lego series with Legend of Zelda.  I mean if Lego can make a popular game for Star Wars, Batman, and Indiana Jones why won't Legend Of Zelda work?  The player controls Lego Link through various levels to defeat Lego Ganondorf.

4.  Ratchet and Clank...Kong!

Ratchet and Clank was first released in 2002 for Playstation 2.  The game features an animal-human thing that is a mechanic who is cleverly named Ratchet.  He is partnered with his robot named Clank.  These two travel different Universes trying to save it.

When Ratchet and Clank travel to Donkey Kong Country, they get greeted by a certain ape with a neck tie. Ratchet and Clank then work with the Kongs to save Kong Island from King K. Rool.  All while Ratchet works closely with Funky Kong inventing great machines!

5.  Fable Emblem

Fable is a role playing game where the player can interact and talk to various villagers living in the game.  The player can wield a sword as their weapon.  The games main objective is completing various quests to advance through the game.

Fire Emblem is a tactical role playing game, in which the player controls uses strategical moves to defeat their foe.  These two games sound a bit similar.  So why not combine them for an epic cross over game?

Have any more ideas for a cross over game?  Let us know in the comment section below!
