Crossovers are more prevalent in todays society than in times past. From Freddy vs Jason on the big screen, to the craziness of comic book crossovers, I\u2019ve wondered what good video game crossovers would look like. All depending on one certification: being dumb as hell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Super Smash Bros. is a good example of what we are going to try and flesh out, it could be a lot more wacky and cartoonish. So we here at VGU will be pitching the game crossovers we\u2019d like to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graydon Webb – Habitual Creed Raider<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assassin\u2019s Creed: The Uncharted Tomb Raider<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Okay, you want a wild crossover? I\u2019ll give you one. So we all know Nathan Drake, right? He\u2019s a charming treasure hunter who\u2019ll stop at nothing to solve a good mystery. Now how about Lara Croft? Well, she\u2019s a charming treasure hunter who\u2019ll stop at nothing to solve a good mystery. Then, I suppose, there\u2019s Ezio Auditore, a charming treasure hunter who\u2019ll\u2026 wait, do you hear something?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, I am suggesting that we take these three fearless rogues and jumble them all together into the biggest third person adventure game you\u2019ve ever laid eyes on. But how would it work? Perhaps Drake and Croft meet each other at some gathering of treasure hunters, like a convention of sorts. Maybe there, they meet Sean Hastings, too, and he shows them the Animus technology. Then, they\u2019ll follow the path of Ezio Auditore (because according to modern Assassin\u2019s Creed <\/em>lore, Sean would be able to tap into those memories with current technology), and together solve some long forgotten mystery in a far-off place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hate that I\u2019m just giving away<\/em> some brilliant idea to anyone listening, but to me, this seems like a no-brainer. Nathan Drake and Lara Croft have been compared to each other for years<\/em>, and Ezio is one of the most popular characters in gaming alongside them. All of their games play pretty similarly and fit into the same genre, more or less. The only thing holding this whole thing back is the fact that Drake is a PlayStation exclusive and the others are third party (though Xbox likes to pretend they own Tomb Raider<\/em>, somehow). All in all, I think this would be a pretty sweet crossover, no matter how ridiculous it may sound and how hard it would be to get off the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allan Muir – The Perfect Strangers Theme Is Stuck In My Head<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matt Hazard v Duke Nukem: A Reprise for Mediocrity <\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

When it comes to Duke Nukem and Matt Hazard, you have a sense that the former was influenced by the latter in a way that is more satirical. My pitch for this what-if crossover is a simple one, taking the piss out of arguments akin to \u201cSuperman vs Goku\u201d but written with a much more depressing amount of satire. Considering the meta-elements of the first Matt Hazard game and background of the character he would be a good plot device to make the whole concept work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plot would be a light retread as Eat Lead<\/em> with Matt Hazard being transported back into the world of video games but SHOCKER! Not his game but instead Duke Nukem 3D<\/em> and parts of Duke Nukem Forever<\/em> being demade. Specifically, the parts that make no sense being in the game such as the shrinkified Duke, the \u201cguess he won\u2019t be in the sequel\u201d scene, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not something I\u2019d want to see in this hypothetical game because it would be an interesting plot thread to see in a completely different game but throw in a sub-plot where Duke is re-thinking his life and place in the world he inhabits? You would have my money\u2026 maybe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Josh Miller – Judge Fudge<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney At Law<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Shamelessly inspired by the early 2000’s show, Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law<\/em>; this game would do the same thing…but with video game characters. Since we already have a popular video game lawyer, it’s time to bring him in to solve the many crimes and lawsuits that go on throughout the video game universe. It’ll stick with the classic visual novel + point-and-click mechanics for clue finding, and I think in general it will be obsurd fun that people would love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think about some of the stuff that could be featured in this game. Restraining order on Bowser from Princess Peach? Assault from Commander Shepard to that reporter lady? Leisure Suit Larry has to go to court for harassment? A divorce case with Spencer from Bionic Commando and his wife who happens to be his arm? Murder trial for Naughty Bear? There are plenty of avenues to pursue in a game like this and the story potentials feel endless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another great thing about this would be investigating those worlds of the characters. Easter eggs, callbacks, and nostalgia galore with this element of gameplay. Plus, depending on how Phoenix Wright is written, that can lead to some great conversations with these other video game worlds. It could almost feel Roger Rabbit-esque if they treat Phoenix Wright like an Eddie Valiant type character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This could be the Super Smash Bros<\/em> for visual novel video games. Sure, there may be some pushback from publishers depending on how characters are written, but how stupid would that be. If this would ever come to pass, I don’t think you would hear any OBJECTION.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
