How about a racer?

[EspioTheChaotix]

A Mario and Sonic Racing Game. A lot of characters, like 50-60 maybe?
Also, Espio needs to be in it. Mighty would be good too.

[Pur-Rulz]

Well, I guess it could work, but so soon off the back of ASR? I doubt it.


Espio would be a referee in the spectator stand if they follwed the M&S Olympic trend. ;)

50 - 60 characters are you serious?

Name me some games other than Marvel vs Capcom that have over 40 playable characters. More importantly name me a racing game thats had over 30 playable characters.

50-60. It sounds complex, but it's not. The trick is that most playable characters would be carbon copies/skins of each other. That would be hilariously controversial to see.

Quality over quantity my friend. No game has ever really had that many characters. Even if you combine the roster of Mario Kart Wii and Sonic & SEGA All Stars Racing it dosn't even add up to 50, and thats including the other SEGA characters which wouldn't be included in this.

Yes a dream game would have that many characters, but the fact that you expect no less than 50 is just going too far. I'd say no more than 25 characters would be in the game.

[Pur-Rulz]

I don't expect it, I'm just touting off Nintendo's usual tactic of getting that many in in other games that they've done. :P

[K2SonicFan]

Or a lock-on with MK and ASR lol.

[EspioTheChaotix]

Aha, but what if it was on Nintendo's NEXT Console?
First of all, they'd have the DLC capabilities ASR doesn't. So, I would say...
60 characters to start with- 30 from Sonic, 30 from Mario, 20 in each size category(Small, Medium, Large).
Then, Downloadable Content, Allowing for, I'd say, if they're me, another 19 characters per franchise(Use characters popular among long-time fans fans and newbies to the series alike for maximum effect), and here's the zinger...
also have 12 characters(2 from each size, 6 from each company) from games OUTSIDE of the Mario/Sonic series. One character per franchise here, so it doesn't get watered down.
In my mind, Sonic would opt to please retro fans with 3 of them and today's fans with the other 3... maybe...AiAi, Ristar, Billy Hatcher, NiGHTS, Vectorman and Toejam and Earl?
Nintendo would go another way, because it has so many truly timeless franchises, that no matter who they choose, they please everyone. They decide on their top 6 most popular franchises(Besides Mario); Pikachu, Kirby, Link, Fox, Captain Falcon, and Samus.

The game itself would play like a mesh of both series' most recent racing titles, with elements from All-Star Racing and Mario Kart Wii. Perhaps they have All-Star moves, as well as Drafting? Who knows.

There you go. Bleh....110 characters.

[AlextheFox]

Now making an accurate list of what SEGA/Nintendo would actually make, I would assume that there would be 20 characters (not 60 or 110... I'm sorry but CHEESE as a single racer? Really? >__> ) in the game.

Like ASR there would be no weight classes. 10 Sonic characters, 10 Mario characters, 20 characters total. There would be DLC too.

Bowser
Wario

I think there's be more than 20, at the very least. And Vector's in the M&S series, so he'd be there too.
