New 3rd Party Collabarations With Nintendo

[Lozjam]

One of the best things about the Wii U generation of Nintendo, was really interesting collaborations between Nintendo and Third parties. From Nintendo characters in Bayonetta, to implementing a new game genre to the series with Hyrule Warriors and Pokken. They have done a great job with this. And now with the Switch, they have third parties lining up the door to develop games for their new system. So why don't both third parties and Nintendo take advantage of having exclusive games on the Switch, while giving third party developers awesome sales. We even have hints of this kind of crossover with Ubisoft, with the Mario RPG X Rabbids. So what would you like to see?

I personally would like:

From Software: Dark Souls X Fire Emblem
Why don't we take two absolutely brutal games, and mash them together to make something completely new? With the gameplay of Dark Souls, and the characters and insta death of Fire Emblem, this could make a splendid experience.

Bethesda: Zelda Content in Skyrim, Metroid content in Fallout/DOOM
Obvious

Capcom: Little Mac in an exclusive version of SFV
With Megaman in Smash, it would make too much sense to put a Nintendo character in one of their own fighting games. This extra content would make the Switch version definitive, along with being portable.

Square Enix: Nintendo world in Kingdom Hearts 3
If SE made a Nintendo exclusive world in KH3, that would be balls of the walls amazing. And hey, with Cloud in Smash, who knows what deals they have planned.... Speaking of which.

Square Enix: Final Fantasy 6: Switch Exclusive
Final Fantasy lV DS was exclusive to a Nintendo system, so why don't they do the very same with the Switch? Vl was a Nintendo game, through and through, and a fan favorite of the series. This would do very well in a Nintendo ecosystem, and the ultimate conciliation that Square is coming back to their original home.

Platinum Games: F-Zero
Platinum games would do absolute wonders with an F-Zero game, a game with fast tight controlled gameplay, with amazing graphics. This is their strong suit. If Nintendo won't make a F-Zero game, let another studio take a crack at it.

Sega: Ice Climber
I feel like Sega would do really well with taking the Ice Climber series for a spin, and just rebooting a whole franchise. Just a hunch though.

There were interesting collabs, no doubt. But it seems like ninty is only interested in working with third parties if they're working with nintendo IPs.

Those are all top notch ideas. I think a 3D open world Ice Climber platformer like Mario 64 would be top notch. Imagine spending the whole game climbing one massive seamless mountain. I think this is something Capcom would be capable of though.

I'd like to see more of Capcom's Dragon's Dogma, period. So a Switch release would be appreciated.

A Smash Brothers x Capcom crossover fighter would be something.

I'd kill to bring back Breath of Fire. Capcom collabs have gone well for nintendo in the past. I don't know why they don't work together more.

If Squeenix gave ninty a decent exclusive Final Fantasy spinoff that would be something. But it'd have to be done well and that's just not something squeenix does anymore. With the exception of Bravely of course, so a more robust Final Fantasy Switch exclusive would be a sure bet. Another Bravely game would suffice.

I'd like to see Dragon Quest on Switch as well.

The main one I want to see is Soulcalibur. The series needs to come to a Nintendo system again and not only should Link return but Ganondorf needs to be playable as well. Perhaps they could even include Ike from Fire emblem too.

The main one I want to see is Soulcalibur. The series needs to come to a Nintendo system again and not only should Link return but Ganondorf needs to be playable as well. Perhaps they could even include Ike from Fire emblem too.

A straight up Soul Calibur game with a Zelda skin would be enough, just like Hyrule Warriors and not the mess that was Pokken. Come on guys couldnt you have just given us Tekken x Pokemon without that phase shift crap?

As far as their party collabs go i just see them as Nintendo reskins so on that note;

Assassin's Creed x Donkey Kong.
DK could actually feel like an agile ape in an AC reskinned game.

Tales of x Kirby.
To the best of my knowledge, Kirby hasnt had an rpg, or one that was any good. A Tales skinned game would be great for Kirby.

Kid Icarus x Monster Hunter.
Kid Icarus doesnt really have a thing. Platformer, weird on rails third person shooter hybrid, in another 25 years why not have Pit take on those huge bosses from his last games in a reskinned MH game?

Earthbound x ICO.
Ness's youth and the artstyle of his games paints him as innocent. Why not push it further with him escaping an alien threat and escorting a close childhood friend in a reskinned ICO game?

Koei Tecmo - Fire Emblem x Warriors
Just like Hyrule Warriors but it'd be Fire Elmblem Warriors instead. I think that'd really work and make so much sense.

Shin'en Multimedia: F-Zero
Shin'en Multimedia made Fast Racing Neo. That game was F-Zero in everything but name and was a great game. I think giving them the F-Zero IP would be a good idea as they could really do F-Zero justice.

Square Enix - Kingdom Hearts on Switch with exclusive to Switch content
This is really Captain Obvious. Kingdom Hearts is "the" Playstation game that would be right at home on the Switch with it's cutsey feel. This on the Switch with a little exclisive content as a carrot would get huge sales.

Playtonic Games - The next game after Yooka-Laylee
The kind of games Rare are famous for (Playtonic is Rare) are most lived by Nintendo fans. Also we now know that Playtonic are working very closely with Nintendo to get the Yooka-Laylee Switch port finished, I am sure their relationship with Nintendo will only be strengthened. So their second game should be heavily marketed for the Switch I think too. The Switch customers would totally buy it.

When I think of more I'll share here.
