Yeah, I'd prefer Virtua Fighter-like than Smash Bros-like.
I don't know why but it seems SEGA never uses the term "Sega All-Stars" anymore.
Eventhough Sonic Racing Transformed could use "Sega All-Stars" name they choose to name it with Sonic.
The Sega All-Stars series has lots of vital services for Sega that Sega themselves seem to be missing out.
- Practically a "last lifeline" for classic franchises that Sega haven't touched in years. Even with the Sega Renaissance, even with the upcoming Power Surge, these can't cover all of Sega's classic IPs while Sega All-Stars spin-off can at least bring light to these old franchise as well as potential of renewal to these IPs, such as new fans or interest in the characters.
- The only Nintendo games that come to mind that include the Nintendo All-Stars are the Smash Bros. games, and the lesser known Captain Rainbow game (which consist of more obscure secondary Nintendo characters), but the Sega All-star series could effectively "compete" with the Smash Bros. series without having to be a fighting game.
- Sega All-Stars series was, in a way, also competing with various Mario spin-off titles such as Tennis and Kart. The Sega All-Stars games could've covered a wide range of games with a wide variety of interesting characters and locations.
One of my suggestions for a brand-new Sega All-Star game would be "
Sega Superstars VR", a direct sequel to PlayStation 2's
Sega Superstars but for the
PSVR2. instead of standing behind a camera and interacting with the mini-games with recorded movements on the television, with VR you can stand inside the game and interact with it with your movements.
Calling it just "Fighters Megamix" is okay for me but the brand might be not too catchy since it's a SEGA Saturn-only game, not many people ever play it.
That's why I would suggest calling it "Sega All-Stars: Fighters Megamix" instead of slapping a "
2" on it. It would be a "cross-sequel" to both Fighters Megamix and Sega All-Stars.
If you're not familiar with the first Fighters Megamix game, then that's fine, given it's still a fighting game that consist of fighters from Virtua Fighter, Fighting Vipers and other Sega characters.
Some fans may end up Googling it and discover the original Sega Saturn game which would be a nice surprise for them.
And, if there are some critics who are IGNorant to think "Sega All-Stars: Fighters Megamix" is a long-awaited rip-off or knock-off of Super Smash Bros., well it's still an official sequel to Fighters Megamix which is older than the first Smash Bros. game.
