This is a real game. 3 random characters who have no connection to each other star in a puzzle game that's title is slang for being drunk. Like it's not indie or steam levels of strange, but the combination of characters just feels weird in a way I can't explain. The game's apparently shite (surprise, surprise) but it made me wonder about what other strange crossovers are.

But I mean inter-game crossovers. Yes, Fortnite is a thing, but that's really a entertainment crossover at this point and i'm also not counting Smash, because... well it's Smash. It's a known quantity.

(Why we don't have a "Weekend Era" tag on gaming side, anyway?)

Negan in Tekken was always weird. His character doesn't really fit? He feels like more of a MK crossover to me. Also the Star Wars characters in SC was just strange.

Even stranger, Cole McGrath from Sucker Punch's inFamous was in the PlayStation 3 version.

Like... what the fuck does he have to do with anything that's happening here? Same goes for Toro and Kuro, Sony's sort-of Japanese PlayStation mascots

I would've thought it was a cross promotional thing with PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale, since it came out later in the same year, and also featured Toro and Cole. But that game didn't have anything Street Fighter, and only DmC Dante as a Capcom rep.

I think the game got a little lost in what it was crossing over.

Batman and Spiderman showing up as enemy bosses in Revenge of Shinobi, although I think Sega removed them in later cart revisions because they didn't actually have the rights

Fake edit: I read you wanted inter-game crossovers just before posting but I already put this post together and I'm sure people will still appreciate it.

THPS 2 has a crossover with a K-Pop group.

THPS 2 Korean Release
In the South Korean version (as well as other Asian versions not released in Japan), members of the South Korean pop band FIN.K.L. were featured as playable skaters. Lee Hyo Ri, Ock Joo Hyun, Lee Jin and Sung Yu Ri are playable skaters, and 8 additional songs from FIN.K.L. were included into the main soundtrack on top of the original 15 songs. The FIN.K.L logo was also added to certain objects, if the player skated as one of the members.

Wow, never heard of this.

I was almost going to post THPS3, that was one of the earliest games I played with some absolutely fucked up secret characters:


Wolverine and Darth Maul were absolutely mind blowing as a kid.

What is impressive to me is that this went just more than just having some additional characters to play at. They had additional dialogue tieing each others mission together and even the FMV cutscenes were changed and extended to include these characters. They really went the extra mile here.

There is like a crossover fighting game of popular indie games' main characters that always seemed so strange to me.

Yeah, Street Fighter X Tekken was doing waaaaay too much that it just sort of lost its way before it even came out. They should haven't stopped at Mega Man and Pac-Man and left out the Sony characters. And also made Mega Man and Pac-Man not Playstation-exclusive. (It was bullshit anyway because they were in the code of the Xbox version and playable!)

Danica Patrick and Wreck-It Ralph both ending up in Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing Transformed is still so odd to me.

Nintendo should have allowed more of their characters in this series. The game itself isn't my cup of tea, but I love seeing screenshots and clips of it.

I know Smash exists as a catch-all video game cross-over fighting game, but I always wanted a comprehensive Nintendo vs. Sega vs. Capcom vs. Namco fighting game of some kind. Just a childhood dream of mine. It's exactly why Sonic, Mega Man, and Pac-Man all being in Smash was the greatest gaming moment for me.

To me Namco does the most out-of-left field ones (Star Wars/2B in SC, Neegan/Noctis in Tekken).

I know it's just to capitalize on cross-promotion while the iron's hot, but those examples are the ones with the least brand synergy to me.

Assassin's Creed: Origins and Final Fantasy XV will always be the best and weirdest for me. Totally used that sword though for most of the game.

You actually missed two.

They're Super Robot Wars spinoffs, but they're developed by Monolith Soft and directed/written by the same guy as Namco X Capcom and Project X Zone, who was originally a major writer on the Super Robot Wars series. Effectively they're the second and third Namco X Capcom games, with Project X Zone and Project X Zone 2 being the fourth and fifth.

Reiji and Xiaomu the main characters of Namco X Capcom, appear as party members here. Saya, the villain, appears as a boss in the first game and a support character in the second. KOS-MOS and T-ELOS from Xenosaga also appear. The first game has playable characters who are only really quietly connected to Super Robot Wars by story and design motifs, while EXCEED adds the Original Generation version of a few characters to the party, as well as Mark Hunter from the Compatiheroes game Gaia Saver.

Later Haken and Kaguya from this game would appear in Project X Zone, and Haken would also appear in Super Robot Wars Moon Dwellers.

Funny enough, it's not the first Namco strategy RPG crossover inspired by Super Robot Wars, though. There was an unrelated earlier one on the Wonderswan called Namco Super Wars:
