What pessimism. I could see the "as long as Nintendo does it more than Sonic Team" notion, but thinking it can't work at all?

Haven't you all learned that you can't just brush things off with the Wii? Even the notion that it would be a casual dumping ground fell through when those got diminishing returns.

Because they don't fit. It's a huge difference between 2D Mario and 2D Sonic, so the best option is to this never happen.

That shows little imagination. In fact, that's against the very spirit that made those games possible.

No, you are the one with little imagination, in fact, you have too much imagination. People, Mario & Sonic will NEVER team up. They DO not fit in platform and it'd obviously suck. I mean it, they can't star a crossover and never will. The fact is that if it happened, obviously was to SEGA raise the popularity of Sonic, descending for 10 years, so using the name Mario they can do it. Look at Mario & Sonic: the games suck, but still sel millions for just having Mario in the middle.

"No, you are the one with little imagination, in fact, you have too much imagination."

A contradictory statement doesn't prove me wrong.

And the rest of the post is just rambling, and some parts are incoherent.

The thing is that a good designer would find a way. Of course the level designs from their respective series should not be done. It's a matter of finding something else.



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.


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 would be just simply amazing.

Sonic and Mario teaming up would be kinda cool, I guess, though I couldn't care less about Sonic.
Link and Tingle teaming up, now THERE's a game I'd love to see.

I wouldn't mind it happening, just let Nintendo do most of the work.

The thing is, there's no point. It would be cool to this imaginary population of people who find the idea cool, I guess, but that's it. A good developer could make a good platformer regardless of who's in it. All having a Sonic/Mario crossover would do would be to detract from the uniqueness of their own respective universes. 

I mean, why? Because they were rivals in the nineties? There's nothing to be gained from such a stupid crossover, and a lot to be lost.



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

i don't know if I would be a big fan of a 2d crossover...i just don't think it would work right

You should congratulate me. I destroyed the vile red falcon and saved the universe. I consider myself a hero.

This would be a dream come true.

Both games play a little different, and when I say different, I mean different speeds. Either Mario would get rocket sneackers or sonic would transform in a slowpoke :(



Above: still the best game of the year.

I'm saying it's possible, as in not that it will but MIGHT, and you claim it has zero chance.

Bullshit. This isn't like making 1000 enemies with the Wii CPU. This is about creative talent.

Looking at the franchises as though the frames of the games are absolute shows you still don't get why Nintendo has been doing what they've been doing. They want to BREAK this kind of thinking. THAT has been the stagnation they are fighting against.

Not the crossover, but the idea that one should just not try for an idea because one doesn't see how it could work (not the same as proving something can't work at all, like 1080 output on the Wii when the specs will not run that).
