Top 10 Franchises That Need Fighting Games
Fighting games normally feature original characters, but every so often, an amazing fighting game with already licensed characters is released. With games like Super Smash Bros., Marvel vs. Capcom, PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale, and Injustice: Gods Among Us, it's clear that licensed franchises make great subjects for fighting games.There are so many other franchises that just NEED fighting games, and this list is dedicated to them (crossovers included).
Hell yeah! Just imagine: Deadpool vs. Deadshot, Batman vs. Iron Man, Superman vs. Hulk. And a great chance for Spawn to be DLC. Plus, Thanos and Darkseid as preorder DLC characters. Yes!
Street Fighter vs. Mortal Kombat may be overdue, but Marvel vs. DC is the next generation of overdue. These companies have been around forever, and since they've both been in fighting games and comic crossovers in the past, there is no excuse - literally no excuse - for this not to happen.
If there was at least one game that had Hulk vs. Superman, Spider-Man vs. Static, Wonder Woman vs. Captain Marvel, etc., oh man, that would be awesome.
Come on, Ed Boon, this is way overdue! With the releases of Mortal Kombat vs. DC and Injustice, it's clear that you love crossovers. But if you love your fans, then you have to do this! For years now, we've awaited this, hoping that one day, Ryu and Scorpion could officially fight. If it actually happens, you can expect to see yourself bathing in money.
I understand that Star Wars has had several fighting games, but none of them - and I mean NONE - were very good. Another attempt would be very welcome, and with the help of Disney, we'll surely be surprised. Seriously, Star Wars is one of the most famous, highest-grossing, most beloved franchises of all time, and it needs a good fighting game!
The Walt Disney Company, commonly known as Disney, is an American diversified multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate headquartered at the Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, California. Disney has been around since the 1930s, and since then, they've had lovable characters, amazing movies, and a dedicated fan base. With the release of Disney Infinity, it's clear they understand crossovers, so why not a fighting game? Combine old Disney, new Disney, Pixar, and maybe even guests from Marvel, Star Wars, Kingdom Hearts, or even the Muppets, and you've got yourself a money-printing machine.
So many characters! Basically a Super Smash Bros. Disney version. Then everyone who wants Homer Simpson in Smash would be happy.
Valve Corporation is an American video game developer, publisher and digital distribution company headquartered in Bellevue, Washington. After seeing that Melee intro parody with Valve characters, I've been thinking... this needs to happen! Not only would it have a massive fan base, but having things like the Portal Gun and Gravity Gun in a fighting game would make for one of the most unique experiences ever made. Plus, Team Fortress vs. Counter-Strike.
I just want to see the sentries and turrets fight each other.
I'd love a fighter à la Soul Calibur but with just Zelda characters.
We need a fighting game with just Zelda characters. Link, Zelda, Ganon, Gerudos, Zoras, Gorons, Midna, Fi, etc.
Final Fantasy is one of the most beloved video game franchises of all time, with some of the most beloved characters, so it makes sense that a fighting game should happen, especially with the series failing in recent years. You could play as characters from all the games. Imagine the Black Mage fighting the White Mage or, better yet, Aeris fighting Sephiroth! Make him pay for all those tears!
Especially so the spell casters can use some devastating moves that just annihilate the landscape.
A Mega Man fighting game could have Mega Man, Proto Man, Bass, Duo, Roll, and a wide selection of Robot Masters, as well as the Mega Man Killers, Genesis Unit, and Stardroids. You could get items from Eddie or purchase them at Auto's Shop.
Honestly, they had two fighting games like Power Battle and Power Fighters, but I'd like to see more of these.
I already made a concept for this, and it turned out great. It should definitely be made.
Sonic the Hedgehog, trademarked Sonic The Hedgehog, is the title character and protagonist of the Sonic the Hedgehog series released by SEGA, as well as numerous spin-off comics, five animated shows, and an animated OVA. Sonic the Hedgehog has had a few fighting games and was even in Smash Bros., but having a standalone 2D Sonic fighting game with an updated engine and better physics would give Sega so much money. This is also Sega's chance to revive long-forgotten Sonic characters, like Tikal and the Tails Doll... no, that's going too far.
I mean, yeah, Sonic has had fighting games before, but they're ridiculously old. We need a Sonic fighter. I know this is extremely wishful thinking, but if Tails Doll reappeared in the game with their newly acquired "monster" status from the comics, they would be really unique.
The Newcomers
Capcom Co., Ltd., or Capcom, is a Japanese developer and publisher of video games, known for creating multi-million-selling franchises such as Mega Man, Street Fighter, Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, Ace Attorney, and Monster Hunter, as well as highly successful games based on the Disney animated properties... read more Capcom is the master of tournament fighters. The company has had plenty of crossovers in the past with Marvel and SNK, but having a standalone Capcom crossover with the roster size of MvC3 would be amazing. Imagine a fighting game with all of the characters from all three MvC games, and more!
You have over five hundred characters to choose from. It isn't that hard.
Just imagine it. Smash isn't big enough for this amazing series!
Maybe then the "too much Fire Emblem in Smash" whiners will shut up.
This needs to be a thing! Also, imagine Sans vs. Undyne.
Yeah, also Sans vs. Undyne would be epic.
Cartoon Network had Punch Time Explosion, so why can't Nickelodeon have a shot at a fighting game? Combining the old, classic '90s Nick with more modern Nick could give us the opportunity to battle with characters from SpongeBob, Ren and Stimpy, Danny Phantom, Invader Zim, and much more! Nickelodeon has made crossovers in the past, and now it's time for the ultimate one.
They have Super Brawl available on the browser. Nothing else to say but fun game to play. However, it gets boring to tap two buttons every fight until the special attack gets loaded.
We've seen games based on their toys, like Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, but I think a fighting game with all their characters from toys and board games would be the most fun. Imagine all the crazy matchups and stages! Cobra Commander vs. Action Man in Ponyville. Mr. Potato Head vs. Mr. Monopoly in Candy Land.
Maybe they could make it even crazier by adding summons like Snake Eyes and Furby or using items like a Super Soaker. And perhaps, with DLC, you could add Mattel characters like He-Man or Barbie, just not in the main game. You could even add more DLC for things like Playmates. It sounds crazy, but think about it - you know you want it.
Avatar: The Last Airbender is an American animated television series that aired for three seasons on Nickelodeon from 2005 to 2008. Avatar: The Last Airbender is set in an Asiatic-like world in which some people are able to manipulate the classical elements by use of psychokinetic variants of Chinese... read more With great characters, settings, and enjoyable fighting sequences, I see no reason why this amazing series can't have its own fighting game!
This also includes The Legend of Korra. I know there is a Flash game, but having a full-fledged game like the new Naruto & Boruto game would be amazing!
The Legend of Korra is an American animated television series that aired on the Nickelodeon television network from 2012 to 2014. It was created by Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino as a sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender.
