The possibilities are endless, and some battles would be absolutely wild. It could also be one of the biggest and most fun platform fighters on the market.

Ultimatebrought together video games from throughout Nintendo’s history, as well as many classic non-Nintendo titles.MultiVersuswill be doing the same thing but for Warner Bros. media, and it looks to be filled with wild crossover potential. Seeing all of these different iconic characters duke it out is a great time for players, and Disney could take that to the next level.Star Warsand the MCU alone would be huge, but if the studio throws in all the other IPs, then the game could be gigantic.
