The World of Ridiculous Video Game Crossovers

[@austineruption]

UFL is here! Play now on PlayStation® 5, PlayStation® 5 Pro & Xbox Series X|S: ufl.link/AustinEruption Play UFL NOW! CROSSOVERS! A video idea I've had for YEARS is finally all together and it sure ended up chunky. What are some other crossovers you think I should look at in the future? I tried to get as many as possible but there's only... so much time... Sorry this one took so long, I got sick for a bit there and had an unfortunate family incident. Tell people you love them when you can and take care of yourselves! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

I actually created my own cross over with Shen Mue and Tokyo Highway Battle! i call my project- shen mue zero

[@The_Sage_0v0]

[@teddyriggs1305]

bro checkout Super Robot Wars series aka the only Crossover that actually have the characters from different series interact with each other and even form relationships. They even go as far as to create Actual Lore explanation why they all coexists.

[@dwayneduphraine7024]

Indie Pogo was an indie crossover fighting game that actually threw together Bit.Trip Runner, Downwell, and Rivals of Aether together long before Fraymakers did, and on top of that it also has Shovel Knight, Teslagrad, Freedom Planet, Divekick, and even Super Meat Boy and Getting Over It With Bennett Foddy.

The funniest Final Fantasy crossover was when they put a Chocobo in Assassin's Creed. But it had to work as an existing mount, so they gave it 4 legs to fit the camels. It was horrifying. I loved it.

The Mario + Rabbids games have no right being as good as they are. Not only is the crossover random, but it led to Mario characters using GUNS. The Rabbid Luigi happenstance is icing on the cake.

[@cliftongardner4367]

[@kildaver]

I cackled madly at Rabbidluigi's reaction to Rabbid Luigi. XD

[@Exlayer-pk8hy]

I personally feel like Super robot Taisen is probably the best crossover in terms of character interactions. A world where franchises such as Neon Genesis Evangelion, Magic Knight Rayearth, Gundam, Cowboy Bebop and many many others existing in the same universe in tactics games where you recruit them to your squad and you help them through their storylines ala Kingdom hearts. Most of the series is locked to Japan but some of them have come outside of it, with several others getting fan translations.

[@useless4692]

And 30 got an official localization too

Nier Automata is so funny because it literally has 2B show up with just about every random game imaginable, but it doesn't even have a Spirit png in Smash Ultimate, one of the biggest video game crossovers ever.

[@Rinsankajugin]

Multiversus definitely felt sluggish as hell on relaunch, but it has luckily felt a lot better to play after many, MANY updates. Also, no Namco X Capcom or Project X Zone mention? For shame, that series of games definitely need a video upon themselves! Also, Super Robot Wars as well.

[@DarkxLink]

Speaking of ridiculous crossovers, Fortnite x SpongeBob was just announced like an hour ago and it's only maps.

[@zekecontreras77]

Loved the games you covered bro! Especially mentioning Kingdom Hearts!

If you are looking to do a Lega Dimension video, and not want to spend a fortune, I would look into buying some NFC tags, then using a smart phone that supports such features. The tag files can be found online with some searching. Either buy enough to cover all the tags you need, or you can try to save and re-write the tags as many times as needed to unlock all the content.

I loved this video but when you mentioned the Aquapazza port I nearly spit out my drink

[@videogamerzero1schannel]

Great video even tho I miss your trademark beard but I'm happy you properly address King of Fighters as a crossover as people weirdly don't treat it like that but for more options, Super Robot Wars is definitely one to consider especially since it's not only a Mecha Crossover, it's also a solid SRPG series that I need to play more OG on GBA, another is Chaos Wars, the one people only bring up because of the bad voice acting ignoring the fact it's the one game that has obscure gems like Gungrave & Shadow Hearts featured alongside another which is Duke Tour Mode from BulletStorm aka Duke Nukem being lost at the plot of the story of BulletStorm & actually makes the game so much better, which is also sad it's a better Duke Nukem game than Forever & finally Mario & Sonic at Olympic Game series as they took the biggest gaming icons & put them in a sports mini game collection which is a choice but I did enjoy Winter Games on the DS, which is a huge shame that series died to NFTs

[@Aragorn7884]

*Project X Zone Series* 🤯

[@skinnychumpz007]

honestly as fun as a crossover or two can be fun, it's like every franchise or thing is doing it. They are starting to feel more like Food Fight more than anything.

[@AlexR3237]

I really enjoyed the video, but I wish Austin talked about Super Robot Wars or Project X Zone. The former especially feels like a big one left out (not just because of its legacy, but also because he talked about the Compati Hero series, which Banpresto also published)

[@toumabyakuya]

Some games I think you should touch in a part two: Super Robot Wars (the entire franchise): Basically Smash Bros for the mecha genre but with the gameplay of Fire Emblem. Did you want to see Lelouch talking with Shinji? It happens. What about Akito Tenkawa (from Martian Successor Nadessico) teaming up with Simon the Digger? Happened more than once already. Basically, if it is a mech (or mecha-adjacent by now) then it is in at least one game. Namco X Capcom/Project X Zone: An spin-off of SRW. This time around they ditched the mechas and went for the popular franchises of either Namco or Capcom (and SEGA in the sequels). In this sub-series you can see Morrigan Aesland being besties with Chun-Li, Phoenix Wright (and Maya) being hired by Heihachi to defend him in court from a lawsuit sent by M. Bison himself and even most of the SEGA cast treating Segata Sanshiro like a god! Did I mention that PXZ2 has Nintendo cameos as well? Talking about Ace Attorney, you should also include the Great Ace Attorney duology and Ace Attorney vs. Proffesor Layton. I mean, what other game will have freaking -Sherlock Holmes,- excuse me, _Herlock Sholmes_ helping Phoenix's ancestor to find his clients innocent? And Layton isn't too far behind, I mean, he takes part of witch trials, what else do I need to say?

[@kariohki]

The two Project X Zone games have some of the best RPG localizations ever as well.

[@martinde-serres8724]

Not so sound like a pedantic douche, but Namco X Capcom/Project X Zone are NOT SRW spinoffs as its their own beasts. First off, they're NOT made by Banpresto but Monolith Soft (yes, Xenoblade Chronicles' Monolith Soft) Second, unlike SRW, we're only missing NXC due to the very small few featured games being Japan exclusive (that and also NXC kinda sucked in general lol) Lastly, again unlike SRW, it was much easier to bring at least Project X Zone 1 and 2 in the West without creating such a massive localized licensing nightmare

[@viejodamis09]

... I don't remember Nadesico and TTGL being in the same game even once lmao

[@TiroDvD]

Disappointment that Boktai - Megaman Battle Network crossover wasn't mentioned. It was a very effective way of getting players to learn of the Boktai series. In Boktai 2 post game you could fight Shademan.exe as a boss. In MMBN 4 and 5 Django is a character that helps fight Shademan.exe and you get "Sol Cross Megaman" as a form in MMBN5. (Think of it like Modes in Kingdom Hearts.)

[@neko-lord]

Beardless Austin is as cute as Fuzzy face Austin and I…need to talk to a manager because how dare.

[@Tetsuito]

No Cross Edge or Chaos Wars? I want Austin to suffer Chaos Wars.

[@DarkOverlord96]

I always feel the need to defend PSASBR when it comes to the whole "Why didn't they include THESEN characters? Are they stupid?" so here I go again. The developers REALLY wanted to add as many fan-favorite icons as possible... but they just couldn't for a number of reasons. Crash and Spyro? ActiVision wouldn't let them because they're ActiVision. Lara Croft? Tomb Raider was basically dormant by that point as the reboot wouldn't come out for a couple of years. Snake? Hideo Kojima personally requested Raiden because he felt Snake being in Brawl was enough for him. Dante? That was actually Capcom themselves as they wanted to promote the DMC reboot.

[@striderskorpion]

Iron Man and X-O Manowar in Heavy Metal also had two comic books detailing the crossover. Also, Mega Man X doesn't have Robot Masters. Instead, it has Mavericks.

[@WyattD03]

how do you make a video on video game crossovers and not mention SoulCalibur once???

well, specifically, the warriors orochi games are the ones where it's "all the Warriors", meanwhile warriors all-stars is much more focused on having a handful of characters from many of koei's different ips. it's worth noting simply because there's a lot more meat on Orochi 3U or 4's bones compared to the more unique and oddball Warriors All Stars

[@nickiethefool1565]

Honestly i wish you mentioned namco x capcom and its sequel series, project x zone. Those games are really unique too!

It must be a curse that all of these gacha games had crossovers with Persona 5 and then hit end of service one year later and _somehow_ War of the Visions is the only one that was left standing. And that's a game that has god damn Addison Rae on it.

As an avid PSO2/NGS player and seeing as it got mentioned in the Nier Automata crossover section, I'll take this opportunity to mention a few of the crossovers the game has had in the last 12 years it's been active. While most of the crossovers are purely cosmetic, and some may have a special lobby appearance like the Attack on Titan and Godzilla collabs, I'd like to point out a few crossovers that do stand out more: -PSO2 has had few crossovers with its past games, you could meet the protagonist of PSO and PSU and even bring them with you on quests after you completed a few set of tasks they give you. -SAO had a small story crossover where Kirito and Asuna were investigating this new online game called PSO2. -Evangelion had a very cool collab where you actually got to help the protagonists fight against Ramiel using the game's mech suits called A.I.S. (saddly this is exclusive to the JP version, as the Global version never got this collab.) -The FFXIV collab had you fighting Odin in an Urgent Quest. Even after the collab ended, Odin got to stay as a permanent enemy which could randomly appear in the random trials that could happen in the exploration maps (saddly this is exclusive to the JP version, as the Global version never got this collab.) -Sega had an arcade game called Border Breaker. When they added the costumes to the game, they also added an enemy from BB called Gear Knight, which also got to stay as a permanent enemy. (In the JP, it got the same treatment as Odin, but in the global version you can only fight in 2 quests in the whole game) -Monster Hunter Frontiers Z had a collab where you could fight one of the new monster from the updated, called Eruzerion (I believe that's how you spell it) -Hatsune Miku got a concert in PSO2 (concerts ingame can give you boosts in rare drops and such) to promote her new game, Project Diva F -Persona 3/5 Dance also got concerts to promote their games

[@pup_hime]

I love your videos and your energy but i cant believe you didnt mention Super Robot Wars even in passing omg

[@austineruption]

Yeah, a bit of an oversight on my end! I think I meant to bring it up during the Compati Hero section but theres like 1298321 games in this video so it left the brain.

[@axelprino]

Indie games do this surprisingly frequently, you're just exploring the world and suddenly run into Shovel Knight or Yooka-Laylee.

[@X2011racer]

Diddy Kong Racing may be considered somewhat of a crossover for 3 specific characters: 1. Originally, Diddy Kong wasn't meant to be in the game, but Shigeru Miyamoto suggested that he should be in, and Rare did so, only questioning whether or not the game will sell better. It worked. 2. Banjo was only meant to be included to promote the then upcoming Banjo-Kazooie, but the game got delayed. 3. Conker was only in to promote Twelve Tales, which got canceled later. Both promotion characters couldn't be removed as it was too late in development to do so, so they stayed in the roster. In the DS remake, the Kong Sisters, Dixie and Tiny, replaced the two guest characters as Nintendo obviously didn't want to promote Conker Live & Reloaded, which was available in stores at the time, and Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, which was releasing the following year. That is, assuming they were given the possibility to bring back the two guests. And finally, Greg Mayles officially confirmed that Banjo and Conker are not Canon to Diddy Kong Racing as they were supposed to be there for promotional reasons.
