The Topic
What are some of the biggest examples of crossovers in gaming? What’s the appeal of a gaming crossover? How do these things actually get made and improved? What are the risks of making a crossover? And why do so many start with chance meetings or simple conversations?
The Actual Discussion
We go over the famous Kingdom Hearts elevator story, plus some more details from that collaboration that aren’t as frequently cited. We also look back on the evolution of Smash Bros. as an ultimate gaming collaboration. Plus, we also take the time to look at some less storied examples of gaming franchise and how all of them came to be.
