Massive Multiplayer Crossover: Difference between revisions

** [[Doc Savage]] villain John Sunlight also makes an appearance.

* Zelazny was a comic book reader and fan. In _Blood of Amber_ Merlin has dinner at Bloody (Last Deceased Owner's Name)'s place--Boody Andy's at the time--while a gent (with a pronounced scar through his eye) eats at a neighboring table and warns Merlin to show a blade so the local roughs get no ideas. "Old John" was clearly John Ostrander and Tim Truman's mercenary John Gaunt (aka Grinner, [[Grim Jack]]) from Cynosure, a cross-dimensional city in a multiverse adjacent to Amber. The two roughs did not last the night.

** Jim Henson's ''The Wubbulous World of Dr Seuss'' did something similar, with Yertle the Turtle as a recurring villain.

* Stephen King's [[The Dark Tower]] series spans across the majority of his prior works.

** ''[[Street Fighter X Tekken]]'' and ''Tekken x Street Fighter'' however are actual fighting games featuring Namco (''[[Tekken]]'') and Capcom (''[[Street Fighter]]'') characters.

** Only related through the VS. series via the appearance of ''one'' Capcom series rather than ''multiple'' but what the heck: ''[[Cross Edge]]'' is a RPG with Compile Heart at the helm of development. Characters from ''[[Darkstalkers]]'', ''[[Ar tonelico]]'', ''[[Disgaea]]'', ''Spectral Souls'', ''[[Atelier Series|Atelier Marie]]'' and ''[[Atelier Series|ManaKhemia]]'' show up in this one.

** ''[[Project X Zone]]'' is an upcoming [[Spiritual Successor]] to ''[[Namco X Capcom]]'', only now adding [[Sega]] (and technically [[Bandai]] of [[Namco Bandai]], with ''[[Super Robot Wars Original Generation]]'', and ''[[.hack]]'' being Bandai's franchises before the merger with Namco) into the mix.

* Even before ''Tatsunoko vs. Capcom'', there was a [[Fighting Game]] called ''[[Tatsunoko Fight]]'', which pitted four Tatsunoko superhero anime (and one original made-up anime) characters, along with their females/sidekicks and villains.

* ''[[Gundam vs. Series|Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs. Gundam]]'' is an arcade [[Fighting Game]] with a [[Crisis Crossover]] [[Excuse Plot]] that throws all thirty years of the ''[[Gundam]]'' franchise together so characters like [[Mobile Suit Gundam|Amuro]], [[G Gundam|Domon]], [[Gundam Wing|Heero]], [[Gundam Seed|Kira]], and [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|Setsuna]] can beat the stuffing out of each other.

** Similarly, there is ''[[Gundam|Dynasty Warriors]]'' that has several stories focusing on different pilots teaming up into two forces because of this. Eventually, you can even have different pilots using different mecha.

* ''[[Dream Mix TV World Fighters]]'' is a fairly bizarre crossover [[Fighting Game]] featuring characters from [[Konami]], [[Hudson Soft]], and [[Takara]]. It's a shame it wasn't very good; where else could you pit [[Bomberman]], [[Castlevania|Simon Belmont]], [[Metal Gear|Solid Snake]] and [[Transformers|Optimus Prime]] against each other?

* ''[[Magical Battle Arena]]'' is a 3D flying [[Fighting Game]] that pits the female mages and [[Magical Girl|Magical Girls]] of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'', ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura]]'', ''[[Slayers]]'', and ''[[Mahoujin Guru Guru]]'' against one another, with more series likely to be included in future [[Expansion Pack|Expansion Packs]].

* The [[Square Enix]] board game series ''Itadaki Street'' has character crossovers of [[Dragon Quest]] with either [[Final Fantasy]] or [[Super Mario]] depending on the game. Though traditionally [[No Export for You]], a Western release has been announced for the [[Wii]] as ''[[Itadaki Street|Fortune Street]]''.

* [http://www.cinemassacre.com/2010/05/03/fan-games-cameo-founder-of-ljn-passes-away/ Mentioned] by [[The Angry Video Game Nerd|the Nerd himself]] (well, his actor), ''[[Super Mario Bros Crossover]].''

* ''[[Indie Brawl]]'', a [[Fighting Game]] à la [[Super Smash Bros.]], but with characters from the Indie Gaming culture.

* ''[[Poker Night At the Inventory]]'', a [[Poker]] game involving characters from ''[[Penny Arcade]]'', ''[[The Adventures of Sam & Max: Freelance Police|Sam and Max Freelance Police]]'', ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'' and ''[[Homestar Runner]]''.

* In a more literal example, ''[[Minecraft]]'' allows anyone to make their own character skins, which leads to 20+ characters all working together to build a house/civilisation and mine for diamonds.

* ''[[Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion]]'' is a Smash Bros. clone with [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Cartoon Network]] characters. (BTW, it's not a clone just because it's a crossover either. It literally has the same gameplay, right down to tilt/smash attacks, Final Smashes, assist characters, and the percantage point system.)

* [[Konami]]'s [[MSX|MSX2]] Mahjong game ''Hai no Majutsushi'' featured eight mascots from various other Konami games: [[Maze of Galious|Popolon, Aphrodite]], [[Antarctic Adventure|Pentarou]], [[Ganbare Goemon|Goemon]], [[Gradius|Dr. Venom]], a [[Snatcher]], a [[Eenie Meenie Miny Moai|moai]], and a perverted version of [[Castlevania|Simon Belmont]].

* NES pirate cartridge ''Kart Fighter'' drops the characters from ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' into a fighting game, while ''World Heroes 2'' (not to be confused with the actual ''[[World Heroes]]'' games) includes [[Street Fighter|Ryu, Chun Li, M. Bison]], [[Final Fight|Haggar]], [[Fatal Fury|Andy Bogard, Lawrence Blood, Mai Shiranui]], [[Super Mario Bros.|Mario, King Koopa]], [[Sonic the Hedgehog]], [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|Leonardo]], and [[Dragonball Z|Goku]].
