Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Sonic 4 and NSMBWii could be a prelude to...

LordTheNightKnight on 21 February 2010

I realize Mario and Sonic having a crossover as Olympic athletes has disappointed many, but the sales show many like this crossover anyway.

Of course the real crossover many of you want is a platformer. But being a 3D one was out of the question considering that would mean Sonic would be in 3D. And we know what that would mean.

A 2D one would be ideal, but Nintendo didn't seem to be interested in that for a while, but now that NSMBWii is a smash hit, and Sega seems to be trying for 2D Sonic, using both the team that made Sonic Rush and the senior level designer for Sonic 3, this could be the 2D kick for that series as well.

Hopefully this will convince these guys to do the crossover you've all dreamed of.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

There's no way of doing a crossover like this. Whoever think Mario and Sonic could team up on a platform game is just way wrong.

They can do it. But will they want to do it and how wil it work? That's the question here

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

EXACTLY. You know what I hope Sonic 4 and New Super Mario Brothers are a prelude to? An epic Symphony of the Night style console Castlevania in GLORIOUS 2D.



Crusty VGchartz old timer who sporadically returns & posts. Let's debate nebulous shit and expand our perpectives. Or whatever.

Yep.  There's about as much chance of that as there is of putting them in a game and letting them fight each other...



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

"EXACTLY. You know what I hope Sonic 4 and New Super Mario Brothers are a prelude to? An epic Symphony of the Night style console Castlevania in GLORIOUS 2D."

That's the Metroid-Castlevania crossover that I'm dreaming about.

Who is this Sonic guy you are talking about?

Hopefully not in the vein of Mario and Sonic, though. A crossover would have to have at least equal participation from EAD.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

We already have enough Metroidvanias, what we really need is a big budget classic Castlevania game that mirrors Super Castlevania 4.

If a Sonic and Mario platformer crossover does happen, I hope that Nintendo handles everything. I don't trust Sega and Sonic Team.
