This is old news to us cutting-edge, “in the know” hipsters, but it has occured to me that not everyone is that cutting-edge, so this might be new to some people. Inspired by Namco X Capcom, the crossover tactics game that came out in Japan in May, a couple of animators decided that their favorite, underdog game companies deserved their own crossover tactics game too, and created a fake trailer video for DataEast X Sunsoft. Although most of the games featured never made it to the U.S., there are plenty of recognizable characters, particularly Karate Champ, Magical Drop, Blaster Master, and Karnov.

And no, before you ask, there will never ever actually be a DataEast X Sunsoft game, unless you yourself make it, at which point you will be branded the coolest person ever.
