I’ll never get tired of seeing Alex Kidd Ulala is a welcome addition to any game and it’s nice to know that Panzer Dragoon and Skies of Arcadia weren’t completely forgotten. The games obviously feature classic Sega characters, but what makes them truly special is that many of these characters had been neglected for years. Cars, bikes, and hovercrafts were featured in the first game, while the sequel featured transforming vehicles that could take to the skies or the seas. It’s a racing game in the vein of Mario Kart, but the levels are more varied since more vehicle types are included. I’ve already recognized a Sega crossover on this list, but I’d be remiss not to mention Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing too. The numerous gameplay concepts in Fighters Megamix don’t always mesh well with one another, but its overflowing with outlandish humor and is just begging for a sequel. These new maneuvers helped keep the characters balanced and added even more depth. The Virtua Fighter 2 characters in the game all had new moves that would later appear in Virtua Fighter 3, and the game also allowed characters to sidestep attacks by using Virtua Fighter 3‘s new dodge technique. Obscure titles like Rent-A-Hero and Dynamite Dux are also represented, and the car from Daytona USA was even featured as a hidden fighter! Although Fighters Megamix revisited concepts from previous Sega games, it also looked to the future and acted as a introduction of sorts to Virtua Fighter 3. The roster includes every character from the aforementioned games and also features a handful of bonus characters from other Sega titles like Virtua Cop 2 and Virtua Fighter Kids. Cross-promotion is almost expected in this day and age, but it’s still weird to see Simon Belmont fighting alongside King Kong and Mikey from The Goonies.įighters Megamix combines elements from Fighting Vipers and Virtua Fighter 2 and allows players to choose a fighting style to reflect either game. It’s still stands as one of the strangest, too. A lot of games that didn’t make this list are admittedly better games than Konami Wai Wai World, but Konami’s quirky title deserves a mention for being one of the first examples of a video game crossover. Each stage is based off a different Konami game, and each character has their own unique abilities. (A roster of 10 characters was almost unheard of in 1988.) The likes of Simon Belmont, Goemon, and the ship from Gradius are featured, and a couple of licensed characters were included as well. These individuals all become playable after they are rescued, which was pretty remarkable for the time. A simple side-scrolling platformer that was released exclusively in Japan, Konami Wai Wai World puts players in control of Konami Man and Konami Lady and tasks them with rescuing characters from various Konami games.
