I agree but what sort of Nintendo fan that likes fighting games even cares if Mario is turned into a shoto or wants to see how Link or Samus or Kirby converts to a 2.5D fighter? Most fighting game fans like balance but who in the fighting game community is really itching to see those characters in a traditional fighting game?

I mean Pokken Tournament has the clear distinctiosn of being full 3D, featuring only Pokemon characters and developed by the Namco team to be an original game with its own rules such as support characters and resembling battles with trainers. Aside from the inclusion of more Capcom characters and more traditional rules, what would make a Nintendo Vs Capcom game stand out compared to Smash? The more casual players that like Smash for its simplicty won't enjoy it and the more traditional fighting game fan, as shown unfortunately by TvC being exclusive to the Wii and to lesser extent Snk vs Capcom: Chaos compared to the Capcom vs SNK games, won't suddenly give it a shot either unless Capcom makes the best game they have made in nearly decades.

The audience that a Nintendo vs Capcom game would have to target would be more receptive to another franchise that hasn't been seen for a while coming back, like Darkstalkers, Red Earth, Rival Schools, Power Stone or even Cyberbots then another fighting game crossover. Heck, the best probable way for a Nintendo vs/cross Capcom game  that would have the most success would probably be for a multiplayer side scrolling platformer/beat em up instead of a traditional fighter.

 

But that is just my two cents.


I completely disagree, but this is going nowhere.
