Sega Saturn had a title called Fighters Megamix that (in my opinion) was the first to bring franchise characters together for a battle royal.
Virtua Fighter, Fighting Vipers, Sonic, Daytona, Virtua Cop and more all rules it out in wrestling rings and it was amazing. Would love a remake.
Fighters Megamix was the best!!! I would quite literally hand over one of my kidneys for AAA remake.
Oh yeah, and I really think it was Sega who started the whole company cast of characters fighting each other thing. Like always, it's too bad that they never followed a great idea long enough to be the one to make money from it.
Well... SNK had released a few installments of King of Fighters by the time Fighters Megamix was released, but other than that, yeah.
Sega definitely beat Smash Brothers and other titles to the punch.
I agree. They should have stuck with their ideas for several installments. Sega has way too many one-off games that are fantastic and deserve sequels.
Oh damn, I totally forgot that KoF was a mix-up like that. I wish that I had more access to SNK hardware and fighters back in the day. Those SNES World Heroes ports just didn't cut it.
