Amalgamated Video Games

O.K. I had this weird and funny thought the other day while I was thinking of games to add to the lists that I have on my profile and doing some of the quests that I need to catch up on as well. I thought, hey what if some of these games were done in a Marvel/DC Amalgam comics style and they merged two different franchises into a new, strange and fun game experience. Primarily I was thinking that The Donkey Kong series of games (Country/Land/DK64) could be merged with Konami's Contra series and you could have Donkey Contra! LOL! Since the side-scrolling game play from both the Donkey Kong Country/Land games is very similar to that from the Contra games this would work, all you'd have to do is give DK and Diddy their respective guns from Donkey Kong 64 and have them blast away a Kremlings and the other assorted enemies and you'd have a perfect blend of the two games. Well, that's my idea now I'd like to hear from some other fellow GB users on what they think might make a fun amalgamated game.

True, but I was thinking that this would be mostly for fun really. Not as if anything like this would actually ever get made outside of China or Japan, being that in China and some other Asian companies that there are plenty of black market knock-off copyright infringed games to be had, and in Japan they do all kinds of cross-property titles, but I think that their licensing regulations are different than ours to allow them to do such things that we can't do here. This is all hypothetical. So, let's just say that copyright infringements & licensing are no object and thrown out the window. What else would make a great game that was a mix of two different properties?

There's a ton of games like that in Japan like Cross Edge for example. 
 
But if I were to play that I probably wouldn't recognize any of the characters.
