you called namco characters capcom in smash court tennis

[@iknowbroikno]

@Heavy Metal Collector no excuses

[@peenurmobile]

lol calm down

[@santocuban7086]

In one of the Hot shot golf games. My stepfather got to unlock Jak from Jak and Daxter and Ratchet from Ratchet and Clank in the same game. I believe in a another Hot shot golfing game you can Find Gex the Gecko.

Scorpion definitely fits in with Injustice, he’s a very DC like character

[@kngzuluxx]

Also already exists. Mortal kombat vs DC universe

[@whenyounutinhermouthandshe]

@@kngzuluxx exactly, he should not be on this list. The kratos one however is surprising.

[@gaysnoopdogg1236]

@@kngzuluxx mk vs DC is actually canon to the current mortal kombat universe but it isn't the injustice characters that crossed over but another universe entirely.

[@carlosrodriguez-di3bs]

So did Kratos ever teach his son to golf?

[@talonthehand]

Maybe in the next game they’ll go to Scotland to learn.

[@UKEDNHAT7]

It's an essential to survival so yes, he did.

[@RobertSeeJen]

"If you wanna be serious about this..." Kong from Donkey Kong is not the same Donkey Kong but actually Cranky Kong

[@SHSLCosmosisSpeedruns]

Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that.

[@shakeyjake6265]

Mario Luigi and Peach in NBA Street V3 was wild

[@DiegoRYT]

after killing several gods in GOW 3 recently, i can see why Kratos needed a break....

[@talonthehand]

The most out there cameo I know of was Gon, a tiny dinosaur from an unrelated manga, in Tekken 3

[@Dave_ja_vu]

Spiderman/Batman boss fight in Revenge of Shinobi is the one that jumps out immediately

[@Dave_ja_vu]

Also Rambo being a random npc enemy was great

[@DaveFu]

They made the Godzilla Boss Fight forgettable in that game.

[@iknowbroikno]

They got sued for that I think lol

[@aheagovulture267]

I see why Shrek wouldn't be in any other video games It wouldn't be fair

[@milkinobama8160]

I’m pretty sure Leon and Mr X being in MHW is much weirder than Geralt

[@tonesdad0408]

Mr. X wasn't a boss. Him being the Handler is weird but not as weird as a full on hunt for him would be. With Geralt you do get to hunt the Leschen and the Ancient Leschen. It made more of an impact.

[@logannottheonefrommarvel9917]

Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker had Monster Hunter Bosses in it, too.

[@metalgrimm]

How about the homeless dude with the famous line "hadouken", weilding a giant sword on Monster hunter?

[@kappinr-m80s23]

Speaking of Monster Hunter, I'm kind of surprised that Rathalos and Trenya weren't mentioned as secret guest characters in MGS Peace Walker.

[@Highretrogamelord]

3:55 "Capcom gaming guest stars". ;)

[@ONOBITCH]

I sure hope someone got fired for that blunder

[@Highretrogamelord]

@@ONOBITCH I wouldn't go that far, but I feel like they should've checked their video while editing it or before uploading it....or reread the script.

[@Highretrogamelord]

@Denam I hope they were. But I'm also afraid that people will watch this video and actually believe the three franchises they named are Capcom IPs (because usually people will believe such videos and not research) if they have never heard of those franchises (not sure how you can not at least have heard about Pac-Man if you watch those kind of those videos but I guess such people also exist).

[@Epic_ZQ9]

@@Highretrogamelord Is it THAT terrible if people think they are? Besides, most of the people just forget everything besides the main points when they watch a list video

[@em_birch]

@@Highretrogamelord I'm pretty sure it's a reference. The "blunder" comment.

[@CristianCruz-de8gn]

From seeing so many memes and mods about Shrek, the Tony Hawk appearance just doesn't look weird to me.

[@ladydrace]

Man, I WISH you could shoot or explode the blocks in Borderlands 2, but noooo, you have to slowly melee your way through, to copious grunting and shouting from the player character, because apparently punching stuff requires 3 different agonized screams? IDK. Great list, though!

[@ladydrace]

@General Jiggler It would. But at least Steve doesn't scream like he's being murdered every time he punches a tree.

[@Gojiro7]

wow.....I thought he just slipped up and accidentally said "Capcom" when aught to have meant "Namco" but 4:32 he apparently does think pac-man really is from capcom.......great research there man, let me know if you see Pac-man chomping the zombies in the next Resident Evil.

[@stevenford494]

There was one time they put Lars from Tekken in one of the Naruto Storm games

[@personaphantom5543]

Link in Soulcalibur is anything but weird he fits in perfectly.

[@PhriekshoTV]

Samus in Monster Hunter Generations was FAR weirder than Geralt could ever hope to be. Though, it was an armor and weapon set, as opposed to the real deal.

[@PuppyBearOSO]

I don't think scorpion is that weird in the DC Universe cause first yes nether realm did make both MK and Injustice but let's think this as well DC is a universe were Aliens,gods,Monsters,wizards and demons are in the same universe. And The Injustice Universe is way more darker than the normal DC Universe with them killing a lot of lovable characters.

[@speedwaynutt]

Roddy Piper Saints row 4

[@NinAmuro57]

This

[@tonesdad0408]

4:34 Capcom? All I know is Pac has a lot of favor with Namco Bandai, if anyone.

[@Hi-NuAetherling]

I'm Ben from what culture, I mean triple jump

[@tokyohanamura]

No, it was more weird that RoboCop was in MK11. Either way, it was still amazing

[@Nesty9]

Scorpion from mk appears in a game called psi ops :the mindgate conspiracy ,cant remember if u could play as him after beatin the game or via code

[@thejetstarjump]

It was actually Cranky Kong in the original games kidnapping Pauline

[@tedjomuljono3052]

Scorpion already killed DC characters years before Injustice one, along with the entire MK cast even, in a game titled MK vs DC universe, next time try to do some basic research at least, this things arent even remotely obscure

[@PuppyBearOSO]

I think MK fits the DC Injustice Universe way better than the Marvel and Capcom being in a universe together

[@darthsand1085]

Puppy Bear true

[@restartmyisekai4942]

@@PuppyBearOSO theyre both owned by WB idk how it made the list as weird

[@personaphantom5543]

Sonic and Pepsiman in Fighting Vipers.

[@mrpapagiorgio5404]

[@TheAnchorArmsChad]

Wow, Kratos even has a Chained club Nice

[@traive-alastor]

The idea of Raiden (Mortal Kombat) bodying the champions of Unreal Champioship 2 with guns, Thunder and smack talk seriously had me in tears. Arguably the best crossover over for my favorite God.

[@adamsandrey1557]

Anna Kournikova's Smash Court Tennis was developed by then Namco (now Bandai Namco) who own Pac Man, not Capcom..

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

Let's make a game with a cameo of "BIlly Ray Walrus", then it can fit into this list. ;)

[@MightyDekuTree]

Mk vs dc universe came out before injustice so the Scorpio cameo wasn’t that “weird”.

[@MrBardofdoom]

its not a cameo per say, but pyramid head, solid snake, and simon belmont were in konami's new international track and field (amongst other classic characters)

[@joespice1999]

isn't it ironic how pak-man and anna kornakova have the exact same amount of tennis singles titles... none

[@addictedtochocolate920]

The Predator in MK10 is probably the most fitting guest character of all time

[@bigboistrike7698]

Bruh MK vs DC was a game in 2008 and Injustice and Mortal Kombat are developed by the same people.

[@felphero]

I was hoping Mario, Luigi, and Peach in NBA Street would be one

[@luliby2309]

Well, to be fair, the DK from the original games apparently isn't the DK we all love today. It's his ancestor. Everyone thinks it's probably Cranky. Makes sense. He's cranky and all. So I guess he would go and kidnap Pauline and everything.

[@SPEKKOPPS]

Scorpion in injustice really isn't weird like does anyone remember mk vs DC universe

[@calumsanderson6741]

DCEU Harley Quinn would be hilarious in Splatoon especially if they got Margot to voice her lmao

[@iggydadawg9712]

Geralt and Ciri being in Daemon X Machina is way weirder than him being in Monster Hunter World

[@alnea]

In MGS PW Trenya introduces Snake to 8 boss battles inspired by the Monster Hunter world! Those levels are made in partnership with Capcom!

[@x.kalibre]

At first I thought it was a mere blunder, but after you repeated it, it seems you guys were actually convinced during the video that Smash Court was done by Capcom and not by Namco. Which is really weird :P otherwise, pretty cool entries ^^

[@santocuban7086]

A few I'd like to mention, In In Sonic adventure & and Sonic Lost World You can Find NiIGHTS from NiGHTS Into Dreams make A cameo. And In Christmas NiGHTS Into Dreams you can Play as Sonic The Hedgehog In a Mini game if you 100% the game. You can also Unlock Klonoa as playable in a Few of the Namco Sports games, Like Apline Racer 3 & Moto GP. and if you get really far into Sonic Riders You Can Play as NiGHTS, Ulala From Space Channel 5, & Aiai From Super Monkey Ball. the Sequal also has Amigo from Somba the Amigo and Billy hatchet Playable. Another weird Cameo, Has Bayonetta as a DLC Fighter for Max Anarchy, which is the Sequel to Mad World on Wii.

[@djpudd1ng542]

The badass creeper also drops a legendary sniper rifle called the Long bow

[@harrydbastard]

[@astonrichardson5288]

Why does Ben sound like Mark from Peep Show! 😂

[@gareth6956]

Borderlands 2 Creeper entry missed the Longbow legendary sniper that can be dropped by the badass creeper, it shoots mincraft arrows instead of bullets!

[@HolyHadou]

PacMan is a Namco Bandai Character. Did something happen that Capcom owns Pacman now?

[@Slayrron.Hunter]

Scorpion and Raiden I think in NBA Jam
