Lets talk about video game crossovers. Nowadays, they are common. You have Marvel Vs. Capcom, Mortal Kombat vs D.C., Mario and Sonic’s Olympic Games and dozens of others. That’s to say nothing of Super Smash Brothers, which is arguably the greatest crossover game of all time. Just look at all the characters in the latest version. They weren’t always as common as they are now, but gaming crossovers have always had a place in the medium. For all the things developers mess up, they are also something that is usually done right. In 1993, Tradewest probably figured “hey, our two biggest IPs are among the gaming world’s most popular beat em ups, lets mix them together!” So, we got Battle Toads/Double Dragon on SNES/Genesis. Anyone who owned an NES is probably very familiar with these two franchises (this game also came out on the NES, by the way). Both were two player co-op beat em’ ups where you moved to the right and put the boots to anyone in your way
