Super Robot Wars.
Namco X Capcom.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance.
Games that let you unite people who might otherwise not meet (or in Marvel's case, might not work together) to fight for truth, justice, and the right to tear shit up.
But what if you had the power to make your own crossover game. What if you could take any character from any video game, past or present and team them up to rip evil (as a great man would say) a structurally superfluous hole in their collective behinds?
Three questions:
1. Who would you have as Player Characters?
2. Who would pull in to play the villains?
3. Why would these pixelated prima donnas be teaming up? (The main idea of the plot)
Me?
I would get all the failed video game mascots of the 80's and 90's (Aero The Acrobat, Awesome Possum, Zen the Intergalatic Ninja, Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel, etc).
Here's the plot:
These guys didn't just disappear. They were sealed away in a retirement home for lame heroes. But thanks to a timely power outage caused by a drunken blue hedgehog taking a piss on the main generator, these out-of-work characters are able to escape their cells and are now must fight their way out of the retirement complex, gather allies, and then escape to the outside world where they must find out why they were abandoned, and punish those responsible.
Standing in their way?
An army of goombas, space marines, 2-D Nazis, and of course, Rad Spencer (the original Bionic Commando) who make up the retirement home's security.
Things don't get any easier outside when a strangely familiar plumber, sics a mercenary army led by Salem and Rios from "Army of Two" to hound them at every turn!
How about you guys?
